it is by the way a windows ME machine.

phptriad v1.4

    As the author of PHPTriad, I can say that 1.4 is inexplicably broken on some machines. I don't know why. What I do know is that I started from scratch to build 2.0. I'd recommend getting 1.3, which seems to work for most folks.

      Thanks a lot!

      I'll try that.

      By the way, i appreciate folks like you producing these things :-)

      see ya

        I have this problem too and haven't been able to understand why. I'm using Win95 on A Dell Dimension 300 if that's of any interest.

        I'll try the earlier version.

        Cheers,

          I've installed v1.3 on my desktop before and it worked very very well. However for some reason, when I tried accessing http://localhost/ on my laptop after installation, the server window displays that PHP is active (changes window title), gave a warning beep signal and the browser doesn't load up anything either.

          My laptop only has 32 MB RAM, will that be the factor creating the difference?

          Thanks,

          Tim

            I had the same problem (on a win2K machine) ... this is kind of a pain, but if you get that error, do the following:

            Start > Programs > PHPtriad > Stop Apache

            to stop it, and then start it again with

            Start > Programs > PHPtriad > Start Apache

            (So far, I have had to do this every time I've started it up, but it seems to work.)

            d.

              Apparently it just deosn't work on some machines. I don't know why. I moved to OpenSA on sourceforge and this works almost perfectly except that the php_gd.dll won't play ball.

                I don't mean to put down PHPTriad as it really worked well on my other box.

                But I found another installation package called EasyPHP (http://www.manucorp.com/en/) which really does what it says. There is a minor config error with it but once fixed, worked well. The package includes the usualy MySQL, phpMyAdmin, etc. and the GD library too.

                    Hi,
                    So I had the same problem with the triad installation. I'seen your notes and give up.
                    I downloaded apache_1_3_12 and installed it c:\apache.
                    Same with the newest php-4.0.5 with apache support (installed to c:\php)
                    Edited the apache httpd.cnf for php4 like:
                    -Section LoadModul
                    LoadModule php4_module :/php/sapi/php4apache.dll
                    (Without # before it)
                    -Section for PHP
                    AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
                    AddType application/x-tar .tgz
                    AddType application/x-httpd- php .php4 (There was .php3 in the triad http-file)
                    AddType application/x-httpd-php .php
                    AddType application/x-httpd- php .phtml
                    Action application/x-httpd- php4 "/php4/php.exe"
                    -Section ScriptAlias
                    ScriptAlias /php/ "C:/php/"
                    then I have copied the php.ini to windows and php4ts.dll to windows/system
                    Then I installed phptriad1.4 package over normal apache-installation.
                    Start all the stuff.
                    Call http://localhost/index.php.
                    It works!!!!!(On my machine!)
                    Thank you for the fine programm!

                      Download apmgr. Extract under the apache folder and run apmgr. It will start and stop apache.

                      Additional problem is Phptriad does not give access to apache logs.
