patratel Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'm struggling to install those things for few days and I've reached madness threshold. I have Windows XP sp 3. I've installed: - apache_2.2.4 no ssl (apache_2.2.4-win32-x86-no_ssl.msi) - php-5.2.17 (Thread Safe) sourse files on C:\php (php-5.2.17-Win32-VC6-x86) - mysql-5.1.62-win32.msi - phpMyAdmin-3.5.0-all-languages, I've put it in Apache.... \htdocs. I've installed, configurated. Untill phpMyAdmin all it seems fine (for me, at least). The "IT WORKS" thing, the php info. When I've put phpMyAdmin, troubles... When I am trying to connect, I got either "#1045 Can't connect to MySQL server", either, when it seems to connect (but it remains still), I got error message "Apache HTTP Server has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." (At 'details' says thomething about httpd.exe). And I must restart the pc, because it's hanging with cpu 100% (I have no ideea what he is @#%^# working so hard). I've tried in config.inc.php at 'Authentication type' either with 'cookie' and without user, either with 'config' with user and pass, I've tried with 'AllowNoPassword' true or false. And 'extension' mysql or mysqli. And etc. In php.ini I've uncommented exthensions: php_bz2.dll, php_gd2.dll, php_mbstring.dll, php_mcrypt.dll, php_mysql.dll, php_mysqli.dll, php_zip.dll. I've tried MySQL from the console, it seems to work (as far as I can tell ). It asked for password and it looked fine. As I said, I am at nerves limits, if someone can help, I'll be very grateful.

Muddy_Funster Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 is there a reason your not using XAMPP? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patratel Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Not necessary. Few years ago I've tried xamp wamp or something, and as i can remember I had some trobles. So I found a good tutorial and I've istalled it separately. But this time it didn't worked . I using it for virtual hosting on my pc and for a litle php thing (simple things like php include, contact forms, rss reader). So I am looking for simple solution. Right now the simplest solution seems to solve my problem, if someone can tell me how. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy_Funster Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 your problem seems to be specific to the environment that you are running it on, coveriing all the options could take days to go through. First thing to check is the logs folders for both apachie and mysql and see if you can get any specific information from them, if there is anything usefull post it up and someone will have a look through. And to be fair, I have done about 20 installs of XAMPP on windows systems across xp, vista, 7, 2003svr and 2008svr and never once had the slightest problem. Up and running with full functionality in under 3 minutes normally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patratel Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Can you give me an adress of a good tutorial for install and configure, and what is the XAMP version working on win xp sp3 32 bit. I'll try that if you say it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muddy_Funster Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Just pop over to http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html and pick the windows distro from the list, For standard use the isn't much you need to do, run the exe, pick the install path, choose anything you want to run as a windows service, wait for the green bar and hay presto, job done. enable the MySQL and Apache servers from the control app (or restart if you picked service installs) and that's it you can now navigate to http://localhost and you will find phpmyadmin on http://localhost/phpmyadmin. XAMPP installs MySQL with no password for the root account by default, so that will need to be one of your prioritys. For more info on install/setup and use you can see this post http://dalibor.dvorski.net/downloads/docs/InstallingConfiguringDevelopingWithXAMPP.pdf which is available in the documentation section of the apachefriends wbsite.

patratel Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Ok man, thanks for help. I'll try it, I hope it will work. As I said, I don't need much functionalities from it, just basic. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patratel Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Hi Muddy, I've installed XAMPP, indeed very easy task. No complication, just few minutes at all setting users and password. It looks fine, I'll stay with it. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
