problem running a website on a local windows machine


Recommended Posts

All,

 

Please help me. I may be going mad here but I am totally stuck after a couple of days of messing about with a site. I acquired the management of website that I have successfully installed on Linux it is PHP / MYSQL. It all works a treat and everything displays beautifully.

 

What I wanted to then do was deploy a local version of the site that I could develop / enhance on the PC.

 

PC is a Dell with Vista OS.

 

I have Apache / 2.2.15 (Win 32) PHP / 5.2.13

 

With MYSQL 5.1

 

The problem I get is that when I try to run the index.php for the site which sits in the following folder c:\Prorgam Files\Apache Software Foundation\Apache2.2\htdocs\cal

 

It runs the web page php  but doesn't format the site properly.

 

I get all of the website in a brain dump into IE. Some of the graphics if you right click them

have the following detail in them

http://localhost/cal/%3C?=IMAGE_RESOURCE_URL;?>/logo.png

 

Now IMAGE_RESOURCE_URL is a value the code can get from the database / as well as other variables such as SITE_URL

 

The config.php contains information about SITE_URL and should assign variables.

 

I saw other posts that relate to the short_tags_toggle but I think that was a red herring.

 

I'm hoping it simple. The config.php does read the database cos' if I change the password it gives an error message.

 

// Site URL

$SITE_URL = 'http://localhost/cal';

$CMS_FOLDER = 'cms';

 

// Database connection

$DB_DBMS = 'MySQL5';

$DB_HOST = 'localhost';

$DB_PORT = '3306';

$DB_NAME = 'caldevdb';

$DB_USER = 'caluser';

$DB_PASS = '***********';

$TBL_PREFIX = 'cal_';

the relate to 

 

Can someone give me any pointers ? BTW: I'm fairly new to PHP so apologies in advance if this sounds stupid.

 

Thanks in advance.
