Apache Friends Support Forum

Followed this great guide, posted by WorldDrknss, to start my own webserver and set security etc. in XAMPP.

The guide explains, that i should scrool down and delete everything in the C:\xampp\xampp\apache\conf starting at #NameVirtualHost *:80.

But i met a problem: nothing in my file reflects these lines - these data is not in my file.

What do i do then, when i want to make these changes, which WorldDrknss mention in the guide

Please - let me here from you

Kind regards
Cifly

if your using the new version 1.5.1+ then you will need to follow the new tutorials at http://xampptutorials.com. The best tutorials for you will most likely be the flash tutorials so that you would be to configure xampp while following the videos.

Yes - i use ver. 1.5.1

Followed the flash guide.

But after i set the password for MySQL and .htaccess, i am no longer allowed to load phpMyAdmin. That is, that when i enter phpMyAdmin a popup asks for the Username and Password. I figure that these informations are the ones that i entered when setting username and password for .htaccess.

But the system returns and informs that the username and/or password ain't correct.

Otherwise, a very fine flash guide - a good idea for newbies and dummies like me

What did i do wrong?

unless you changed it the username is 'root' ...try 'root' as the username

Great, it worked

But i don't understand why, because when i registered new security settings, i wrote a new username as well as a new password.

And now, when i Log Off, it asks me ones again for these informations, and now it won't let me log off, saying my username and/or password is invalid.

Furthermore
I followed the guide to set up VirtualHosts.

I must be an idiot, because this i can't get to work either.

Here is what i've done:

1) Changed the permission attribute in the httpd.conf file

<Directory />
Options FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

2) Entered this information into the file httpd-vhosts.conf

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot C:/www/flygenrings
ServerName flygenrings.dk
ServerAlias www.flygenrings.dk
</VirtualHost>

3) Dubbleclick on my index.php ind my www/flygenrings folder.

But it does not run the php code as expected.

What am i doing wrong

never had the logging of problem so can't help, the username password you are changing is to make xampp safe not the mysql database by default the username is set to 'root'.

The only way to change the root password is shown on the Xampp site under the FAQ's http://www.apachefriends.org/en/faq-xam ... #password0

Try deleting your cookies but next time when you set a username and password for Xampp highlight the HTTP button not the Cookie before pressing submit

3) Dubbleclick on my index.php ind my www/flygenrings folder.

But it does not run the php code as expected.

i'm a newbie like you so take this with a pinch of salt..i don't thing you can run php code by double clicking, you have to run it in your web browser

try typing 'localhost/flygenrings/' in the address bar...example if you what to run test1.php in your flygenrings folder type localhost/flygenrings/test1.php this is asuming you are offline

try typing 'localhost/flygenrings/' in the address bar...example if you what to run test1.php in your flygenrings folder type localhost/flygenrings/test1.php this is asuming you are offline

Nope, didn't do the trick

Tried with:

- localhost/www/flygenrings/index.php

- http:://localhost/www/flygenrings/index.php (last : is to remove link)

- http:://localhost/flygenrings/index.php (last : is to remove link)

Thx for suggestion it though.[/list]

http:://localhost/index.php will work for you. You did set the documentroot to be flygenrings after all.

have you added this line '127.0.0.1 flygenrings' to your host file found in windows/system32/drivers/etc ?....0r is it www.flygenrings ...no clue what so ever what i'm talking about

BTW http://www.flygenrings.dk/ is online i can see it
