Apache Friends Support Forum

Good morning everyone, I was wondering if you could help me. I need to recreate the web environment provided by my web hosting service to detect a problem with Joomla. The server runs Apache 2.2, MySQL 5.1.41 and PHP 5.3.29. I know it's almost obsolete, but my client doesn't want to change it until next year.
Xampp 1.7.3 has the Apache and MySQL versions I need, so I thought of installing it and updating the php version manually, replacing the folders, but nothing seems to work properly. When I try to visit phpMyAdmin it says there's a problem with mysqli libraries.
I would appreciate any suggestion to solve this problem. Thanks in advance for your help!

Even if you get it working, usually errors do not occure in another environment. The server environment not only uses different Apache/PHP/MySQL Versions, but also different Operating System, different Pathnames, different Users, different Rights management.

You really should debug on the production server itself, otherwise i dont think you will ever find what is going wrong. This is my personal experience in 30 years of IT development. You are simply waisting your time.

Thank you very much for your advice, Nobbie! Debugging is the first thing I did but there was nothing wrong. Thanks again!

Last not least, if there is a problem with Joomla, you should write an error report to the Joomla development.

That's a good one! Thanks again Nobbie, I will do that right now.
