I am determining the best local server solutions for my scenario: Windows XP Home SP2. And run the os CMS Typo3 locally.
Like most, I figured I'd have to install Apache, MySQL and phpMyAdmin one at a time. But it took me an hour just to find if this was possible for XP Home. And I am hesitant to go down the same frustrating road I see so many others have. I'd prefer to invest my time learning my CMS, not the server.
Then I see many helpful posts recommending either WAMP5 or XAMPP. Please, tell us what you prefer? Maybe you can tell us why (PLEASE include your OS). I looked all over for a discussion about it, and didn't find one. Here's one now for all to view and take from.
And the larger XAMPP 1.6.0a contains:Apache HTTPD 2.2.4,
MySQL 5.0.33,
PHP 5.2.1 + 4.4.5 + PEAR + Switch,
Openssl 0.9.8d,
phpMyAdmin 2.9.2,
XAMPP Control Panel 2.4,
Webalizer 2.01-10,
Mercury Mail Transport System für Win32 und NetWare Systems v4.01a,
FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.22,
SQLite 2.8.15,
ADODB 4.93a,
Zend Optimizer 3.2.2,
XAMPP Security.
downloaded WAMP5_1.7.0. Prior to downloading I was freaking out wondering if I was going to screw up my computer with software conflicts, but I pressed on. I read the Apache information regarding IIS / Apache conflicts. The tutiorial told me to check the services installed on my computer. The tutorial told me to look for a service titled "World Wide Publishing" The service (WWP) did not exist so I proceeded to the WAMP installation wizard. I installed it. Apache does not display in the services window. As if it does not exist. Apache will not fire up. From what I got from the instructions at Apache, it seems there are alot of modifications I can perform to setup Apache correctly. The long and short of it is I connot see my see what my HTML/PHP code is spitting out because Apache never fires up. Can anyone give me some pointers on setting WAMP up in plain ENGISH? Just a note, when I float my mouse over the Apache icon, a little mouse over windows comes up saying "one of two servers running". Is ISS enabled on my computer? I'm frustrated. Any help regarding this matter is worth a beer (or 12).
I'm trying to install Joomla on my home server, and it requires mysql to have a password for security. Since nothing of my server is anywhere on the net, I never bothered to set a pass (yeah, I should have anyway).
Google led me to this article on the mysql forums, which worked up until it tried to initialize mysql (or whatever the command does, I'm guessing initialize). It's trying to look for the xampp folder that I had installed and uninstalled long before.
I have a vps with cheapvps.co.uk.their service is great. I have used it for one month without any problems. but today I noticed that I can not access my vps through web browser. it gave me this error : Connection actively refused by the server
after contacting support it was clear for me that the problem is that xampp apache is not running. and support said that as my vps is unmanaged they can not help me right now.
when I enter this command : /opt/lampp/lampp startapache
I see this message : XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)...
and then nothing happens and apache does not start.
I completely removed Xampp and reinstalled it. then when I try to start xamp apache it says :
XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)... XAMPP: Error 1! Couldn't start Apache! XAMPP: Starting diagnose... XAMPP: Make the httpd.conf fit your system. XAMPP: Next try... XAMPP: Starting Apache with SSL (and PHP5)...
I do not know what to do with httpd.conf and I dont know where exactly it is.
I have a xampp install on my Home PC(Windows) for testing scripts. I forgot the password for mysql as didn't use it for while. now Phpmyadmin won't connect.
I have XAMPP server which works fine. When I wanted to load webpages through my lan network it said I need to edit httpd-xampp.conf. When I try to load from internet there is no connection at all. I changed httpd-xampp.conf from this
Code :
<LocationMatch "^/(?i:(?:xampp|security|licenses|phpmyadmin|webalizer|server-status|server-info))"> Order deny,allow Deny from all Allow from 127.0.0.0/8 ErrorDocument 403 /error/HTTP_XAMPP_FORBIDDEN.html.var </LocationMatch>
I installed XAMPP a few weeks ago and had a php website working on my localhost – all worked fine no probs. To do this I had to stop my IIS server as this was also using port:80 which is what XAMPP is set to use as default. Now for some reason when I started IIS again a few days ago to do some asp development work and then stopped it again, the apache server would not start even though I’ve definitely stopped IIS. I have tried uninstalling and re-installing XAMPP, but it still won’t start. I tried running the apache_start.bat from the command line and I got the following error message:
"An attempt was made to access a socket in a way forbidden by its access permissions": make_sock: unable to listen for connections on address 0.0.0.0:80 no listening sockets available, shutting down Apache could not be started
If I try and start Apache from the XAMPP control panel it just says Apache:stopped and the message in the bottom window is ERROR: Apache service not started [-1]
I was just wondering if you had come across this problem before? If yes, how did you resolve it? Someone mentioned changing the port, but being a bit new to apache and XAMPP I’m not really sure what would need to change in what config files.

that is my error message I have changed skype's port from using port 80 and also uninstalled IIS from microsoft I have only installed xampp on its own without wamp server so that they dont conflict.
I use Windows 7, running Apache VC10 in the XAMPP environment. It worked well, I am a newbie, it runned smoothly to programe a brief static page. Now I have everytime this logerror... I didn't change anything in the files and scripts of my apache folder...
