xampp running ok - until I add add-ons

[johnmi]

I have been running xampplite for a while. I am trying to add phpGedView for my internal network. This worked ok but the old pc I was using was too slow. I decided to install on a faster pc.

To do this I downloaded the latest version of xampp (1.5.3a) and add-ons (Perl 5.8.7-2.2.2 and tomcat 5.5.17).

I installed xampp(not xampplite) which ran 'right out of the box!'. No problems. Then I installed Perl and tomcat. Ran the xampp-setup for each. When I tried to start apache etc, I hit trouble. mySQL and Filezilla started but Apache failed with an error in tomcat conf.

I uninstalled and reinstalled with perl only. failed again, this time missing MSVCR71.dll. searched in xampp zip files to see if it was there - no and not in perl zip file.

Any ideas?

Do a google search for this file: MSVCR71.dll and place it in C:\WINDOWS\System32

Thanks. I've downloaded it and will try again.
