which should be:

<Directory "/xampp/apache/icons">

Confirmed for the .zip version too.

You have to change line 25 in your \xampp\apache\conf\extra\httpd-autoindex.conf

incorrect

Code: Select all

<Directory "/xampp/icons">

correct

Code: Select all

Thanks JJ_Tagy for pointing that out

Original Post by JJ_Tagy

After uninstallation of BitNami Moodle Package getting this error

Code: Select all

httpd.exe: Syntax error on line 555 of C:/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file C:/xampp/apps/moodle/conf/httpd-prefix.conf:  path not found.

Solution:
Remove the Include directive in your \xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf at the posted line

Installation of BitNami Moodle Application could not be completed because the installer can't start the Apache again after it is stopped.

The following message occurs:


related Issue of that is that Moodle don't get preconfigured and runs the Moodle installer if the URL is requested.

Workaround:
Keep your XAMPP control panel open while installation runs.
After the Apache application stopped wait a second and start it in the control panel.
The BitNami Moodle installation should now continue configurating Moodle.

XAMPP Uninstaller unregistered MySQL Service which was not from XAMPP

Testcase:
- Installed MySQL Server 5.5.32 as .msi installation with registered windows service (service name=MySQL)
- installed XAMPP 1.8.2 installer version
- uninstalled XAMPP again
- Windows Service with name MySQL is gone

Mercury Mail configuration change is not saved

TestCase

• Start XAMPP control panel with enhanced administrator rights
• Start Mercury Server
• klick Mercury [Admin] button
• open Menu Configuration -> Protocol Modules
• activate MercuryC SMTP relaying client
• confirm with [OK]
• close Configuration with File -> Exit

After manual Mercury restart you can see the change doesn't take effect.

Was working in XAMPP 1.8.1

Workaround:
replace the full \xampp\MercuryMail\ folder with a working one from XAMPP 1.8.1

Thanks for your feedback! We will work on the issues reported for XAMPP 1.8.2.

Some issues we already fixed in the modules itself. Could you try to download and install Moodle again? It was fixed in the new version.

Xdebug does not work.

If turning xdebug on, the error below shows when starting Apache.

means: "The procedure entry point zend_unmangle_property_name_ex could not be located in the dynamic link library php5ts.dll"

This is because the xdebug dll version in XAMPP is wrong.

See also: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17466062/cant-install-xdebug-on-xampp-and-windows-xp

Hope this bug will be fixed soon.

Thanks for reporting that bug, i can reproduce it.

Workaround:

• download the PHP 5.4 TS VC9 dll from the XDebug project page
• moving this dll into the \xampp\php\ext\ folder
• and referencing it in the \xampp\php\php.ini

I'm sorry, I did not know XAMPP Shell. Thank you.

[Edited] This was because of my php.ini change.

Japanese "status" page is garbled.


Because the page's ecnoding is "Shift_JIS". It shoud be converted to UTF-8.

Japanese "security" page is garbled. [Edited] This was because of my php.ini change.


Because navi.php and secuirty.php charactor encoding is "Shift_JIS", but should be converted to be UTF-8.

[Edited] Below is still XAMPP's bug.
And navi.php shows Notice errors, because "lang\jp.php" misses variables below:

Code: Select all

   $TEXT['navi-english'] = "English";
   $TEXT['navi-german'] = "Deutsch";
   $TEXT['navi-spanish'] = "Espal";
   $TEXT['navi-french'] = "Francais";
   $TEXT['navi-italian'] = "Italiano";
   $TEXT['navi-dutch'] = "Nederlands";
   $TEXT['navi-norwegian'] = "Norsk";
   $TEXT['navi-polish'] = "Polski";
   $TEXT['navi-portuguese'] = "Portugu黌";
   $TEXT['navi-slovenian'] = "Slovenian";
   $TEXT['navi-chinese'] = "中文";


Previous garbled Japanese in my 2 reports was because of my php.ini change.

Code: Select all

-;default_charset = "UTF-8"
+default_charset = "UTF-8"

And all japanese characters encoding in XAMPP lang files is Shift_JIS.


But after changing above php.ini default_charset, start page is still ok.

Because the code below outputs correct charset in HTTP headers.

Code: Select all

include "langsettings.php";

Status and Security pages does not including langsettings.php, so when I changed default_charset, they are garbled.

Hope all pages outputs correct charset.
