Apache Friends Support Forum

Hi everyone!

I have a really strange situation and after hours of googling i have no more idea.

I installed (zip version xampp) to my C:\test directory. In this case to let it operate i have to run the setup_xampp.bat.
For the first run it makes every configuration file perfectly. Everything is fine i can start apache or mysql.

But if i rename the C:\test directory to C:\test_new and run the setup_xampp.bat it runs perfectly no errors nothing everything is perfect, only this time it doesn't modify my config files at all.

Any suggestion on this is greatly appriciated.

My OS: Windows XP Profesional SP3

Hi wermerb,

Well, maybe the command line functions does have some problems with special characters like _ (never tried that on my own).
But why don't you simply use the folder without that underscore?

best wishes,

Hi Altrea,

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately i already tried that :S

My thought is we have a potential parse error. I'm going to test something later or tomorrow, I am still working.

Really appriciate your effort. Is there any success yet or can i help you on this with something?

I have investageted a little bit further on this issue.
If i try to run the following command from cmd:

Code: Select all

C:\test\xampp\php\php.exe -n -d output_buffering=0 C:\test\xampp\install\install.php

Then install.php script will run fine and will be returned with no errors at all, but it doesn't modify any of my config files.
