foxserv

corruption

I have a few issues in trying to configure things properly to get phpnuke to function on my webserver. i decided i would try foxserv for where i have read about it- its always said to install and configure everything (apache, php, mysql, phpmyadmin, etc) on its own and work fine from there.
The problem occurs after the install for now when i try to go anywhere outside of http://localhost... the server crashes. In looking at the processes that are running, windows says that there are two apache.exe processes running. I can't figure out why...it's only installed once and i've closed and restarted the program. If anyone has a better way of doing things on an xp pro system please let me know or if you can offer any suggestions either that would be great.
Thanks in advane.

try to start from the cmd and se if there is some error notes popup

C:\Apache Group\Apache2\bin\apache.exe

it will promt error if there are some!

Not see in the services if ther are to apache servers one if ther is close one!"

corruption

I can start it from the command line all i want. Only one server is running, no errors when it starts or shuts down. There are some things i'll quote later when i go home from the error.log
There is only one apache server in the services list within the computer manangement stuff in xp.

Have you installed Php bindery version or the msi version

Is php an module of apache??

corruption

php is a module of apache, i'm not sure but i would guess binary since its installed by another program

Chrysanthus

okay have you checkt if there is a line with this in http.conf

LoadModule php4_module "c:/php/sapi/php4apache2.dll"

can you say what version of Apache, PHP and Mysql you are useing?

corruption

that wasn't there so i put it in after you told me...changed the directory to c:/foxserv...

apache 2.0.39 with security fix

php 4.2.2

i imagine mysql 4.0.12 or .15

Chrysanthus

Lets make everything from the begining!!!

Downloade...

Thes

Apache 2.0.47 for win!! http://apache.archive.sunet.se/dist/httpd/binaries/win32/apache_2.0.48-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi
PHP 4.3.4 Bineri version for win http://www.php.net/get/php-4.3.4-Win32.zip/from/a/mirror
mysql http://www.mysql.com/downloads/mysql-4.0.html

install thes.... first

corruption

In the process of doing that now, i'll be done in a few minutes whenever mysql finishes dling

corruption

i've installed all of those and added to httpd conf the line
LoadModule php4_module c:/php/php-4.3.4-Win32/sapi/php4apache2.dll

corruption

here's what i've done i'll get to the problem last.

1) installed apache 2.0.48
2) installed mysql 4.016
3) installed php 4.3.4 as binary

copy php4apache2.dll (from the sapi folder) and php4ts.dll to the modules folder in the Apache directory.

Then open the httpd.conf file (conf folder) and paste these lines into it:

LoadModule php4_module modules/php4apache2.dll
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var

added: index.php (resp. index.php3 etc.) to the end!

extension_dir = ".\" to
extension_dir = "x:\php4\extensions\" with x and php4 being the path to your PHP4 installation.

I changed those things in the httpd.conf file

and in php.ini i changed Directory in which the loadable extensions (modules) reside.
to
extension_dir = "c:\php\php-4.3.4-Win32\extensions"

So now i don't get the server crash that i did before but i still can't open php files. what's wrong any ideas?

not sure what your current problem is, but i have foxserv running on my local machine and there have always been 2 apache process running since i installed it, it is the service itself, and the monitor that are running... according to what i see on my comp...

so i guess that is normal, aside from your crashing and your new problem, that may not help you...

corruption

to clarify the current problem, is that anytime i try to load a php file in my webserver for example
<?php
echo phpinfo();
?>

i either get a blank screen or a downolad this file dialog box.

corruption

for some reason i think there's a problem with mysql server bc whenever i try to start it it says that it can't connect.

i've installed and uninstalled like four times i don't know what to do anymore.
