Hi, i just installed the latest version of Xampp and i can't understand why i am getting this error, i did a check and the dll it's actually there, just not detected....but why??
Thanks for any help

Hi Xamppingaround,

Did you install over another existing XAMPP installation?

best wishes,
Altrea

Yes, i had the previous version installed, however, for a series of reason i decided to install the new version on top of the existing one, in a try to not to lose the local website i am hosting on my local server.
The result is that now i have a shiny new looking Xampp which is showing up on the local ip address assigned to my website, plus this error message....

Ok i got news, i went to .../Xampp/php/ext and i put a semicolon ( ; ) on front of the php_sqlite.dll (EDIT: and restarted the pc)and now the error is not appearing anymore, however, i am still looking for a way to get my site back as i still have the Xampp page showing up on 192.168.5.8 instead of my Dolphin(Boonex) site.....

Weren't you doing backups???

No.

So there is no way to tell Xampp that i don't want it to appear on 192.168.5.8 ???

I have been suggested from another user that this latest version of Xampps is buggy, here is a link for your attention:

I am going to reverse back to the previous version and see if i can get my site back to life again

I would see this different. Boonex Dolphin doesn't seem to be able to work with PHP 5.4.
Thats not a problem of XAMPP but from Boonex Dolphin Software.

A. - Well, if you did not overwrite your database files, you might be able to replace the default XAMPP 'index.php' with the 'Boonex' index.php. That does not mean things will start working, its just a guess. If you overwrote your database files, all bets are off.

B. - please read this carefully -- " D:\wamp\www\709\inc\images.inc.php on line 227" -- XAMPP - is not 'wamp' - BUT by following the link in that post (as Altrea did) it appears the problem is that Boonex has not been updated for PHP 5.4.x. We have had an announcement up for sometime about checking 3rd party scripts for compatibility before upgrading. This seems to be an issue purely with PHP standards.

C. - however you get things working again, please start using a backup system.

Good Luck

Thanks for the answers, i uninstalled 1.8 and i reinstalled 1.7.4.
During the uninstall process i opted to keep the HTDOCS folder and MYSQL to avoid losing totally my site.
The problem is that now Xampp is not appearing anymore on my browser, whatever address i try, 127.0.0.1, localhost, 192.168.5.8, ...nothing.
I also noticed that on the control panel application, Apache refuse to start, even if at the small window the comment say it started, how to fix this??
I am trying to use this version because it was working with Dolphin.
Thanks

Please post what's in the Apache error log.

Also does Boonex use MySQL??? (I think 'yes') If so, in that first 'upgrade' its possible you overwrote your 'MySql' database - (its one of the default databases in MySQL) If that happened, you may need to re-create the database users. Its very hard to say what was preserved. You need to get Apache, MySQL and phpMyAdmin working to assess the damage

Good Luck

Hello again,
i finally decided to delete everything and start again from scratch, the problem is that now i am having some other problem which i believe it will be easier to fix, but i will start another thread for that, thanks again
