XAMPP UI not working after adding mongodb.so to php.ini

[n.r.]

Hey

I installed the current XAMPP 7.1.9 and used homebrew to install the latest mongodb-driver.

Usually I would use the XAMPP UI to restart the apache. But after I add

Code: Select all

extension="/usr/local/opt/php71-mongodb/mongodb.so"

to the php.ini file I am not able to use the UI anymore, even if I remove the line.

I figured out, that some rights changed. Starting the apache from the console with

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/httpd -k start -E /Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/logs/error_log -DSSL -DPHP

gives me the info, that the error.log is not writable. Thats easy to fix. No I can check the logs and I see this:

Code: Select all

(13)Permission denied: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address [::]:80
(13)Permission denied: AH00072: make_sock: could not bind to address 0.0.0.0:80
no listening sockets available, shutting down
AH00015: Unable to open logs

Also, thats not a problem. Running the Apache from CLI with sudo will do the trick.

But what I am wondering, and thats my question here:

I tracked all this down to this little event of adding the mongodb-Extension to the php.ini. After this, some rights are gone.Why is that and whats going wrong?

Thanks for your help

What you mean with "some rights are gone"? The approach looks correct, you need sudo for restarting apache and use the 80 port.
