Unable to install Drupal 6.13 on Vista with Xampp 1.7.2

Postby jonnyxu » 22. August 2009 20:00

Hi.

I'm trying to install Drupal 6.13 on a Windows Vista system with Xampp 1.7.2 (basic package), but get the following error:

Code: Select all
Server error!

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 500
127.0.0.1
22.08.2009 19:07:47
Apache/2.2.12 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.12 OpenSSL/0.9.8k mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.3.0 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0


I think it has to be Xampp-related because I've sucessfully installed Drupal with a manual installation of Apache HTTP Server 2.2.13, MySQL 5.1.37 and PHP 5.3.0 by
following these three guides:
* How to Install Apache 2.2 on Windows Vista
* How to Install and Configure PHP 5 to Run with Apache on Windows (not CGI binary)
* How to Install MySQL on Windows Vista and Configure PHP 5 to Use It

While I certainly could use this manual install, I prefer to use the Xampp package because it makes it easier when updating to the latest software.

I have also successfully installed Drupal 6.13 on a Vista system with Xampp 1.7.1 (basic package), but as said I can't get it to work with Xampp 1.7.2 (basic package)

Any idea why, or what I might do wrong?

Edit: I'm sorry, this log was from Xampp 1.7.1. I will post the correct log in a moment, I just have to reinstall 1.7.2

Never mind, I managed to fix it.

I opened C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf and added the following to the bottom:

Code: Select all
<directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\xampp">
AllowOverride FileInfo Limit Options Indexes
</directory>


It seems to have fixed the error 500. :)

Yes and no. The directory "\xampp\htdocs\xampp" is for the XAMPP demopage.

If you want install something, install it into the DocumentRoot, which is "\xampp\htdocs", or create a new subdirectory in your DocumentRoot.
