i have iis and xampp installed

Postby thread_PHP » 19. February 2008 07:41

Hi all
I have PHP Version 5.2.4 running xampp and iis when i changed manually the port in c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf file to listen :81 port. when i change xampp stop and start operation, the apache says logging failed port number 80, even though i changed to 81, why i am getting this problem. If i restart the system then xampp is running normally along with iis. only when i stop apache service using xampp control panel i am getting above error


help me please where to change permanently to take effect in xampp whenever i stop and start xampp apache server

thanks in advance

Please do not cross post as you will only get a reply to one post - this is type of forum behavior from new members is discouraged and deemed to be bad forum etiquette!

Please delete your other post by clicking on the X button next to the Edit Button, then I will address your issue in here when you have done it.

Thanks.

Ok, first thing is to return the httpd.conf file to the defaults making sure that XAMPP is working before moving on to the next step - you did make a backup!

Now I want you to read this thread and download the mentioned DTX-Launcher or DTX-Control as it is often referred, then read the readme file for full instructions of how to set up the configuration file - this should do exactly what you want:
http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=28415

These threads also are worth a read:
http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=28524
http://community.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?t=28510

Please post some feedback for the developers of DTX so they know that it is doing what it was intended to do - that is to make alternative porting easy for the XAMPP user who wants to have more than one server running.

Have you had a couple of days on holiday or is the delay between posts because your teacher only lets you play with the computers every few days or so?

Hmm.. Is that all the feed back there is?
Nothing else you feel that is important to help solve your problems?
Do you play Poker by any chance?



You returned the httpd.conf file back to the original - is that correct?

If the XAMPP Control Panel is telling you that both Apache and MySQL are running then what's your problem?

Is it still that you need to change the port that Apache Listens on and the port of the ServerName localhost entry in the httpd.conf file?

You then saved the httpd.conf file and re-started the server after making your port changes, didn't you?


You then went and downloaded DTX?

In the DTX download was an ini file, you edited this ini file as per the very simple instructions in the readme file and you changed the ports to those you want to use, again as outlined in the readme file's very simple instructions and then when you clicked on both Start buttons in the DTX-Control, Apache and MySQL did not start ...
... and they never will if they are already started - try using just one Controller at a time and before trying out new things make sure that all XAMPP modules are stopped and that all modules running as services have been uninstalled, so you have a clear playing field each time and which also prevents confusion, which I must admit looks very much the case here.
Is that correct?

Can you please paste here the DTX ini file with the changes you made so we can take a look and see what may be the problem - thanks.

#
# This is the main Apache HTTP server configuration file. It contains the
# configuration directives that give the server its instructions.
# See <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/> for detailed information.
# In particular, see
# <URL:http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/directives.html>
# for a discussion of each configuration directive.
#
# Do NOT simply read the instructions in here without understanding
# what they do. They're here only as hints or reminders. If you are unsure
# consult the online docs. You have been warned.
#
# Configuration and logfile names: If the filenames you specify for many
# of the server's control files begin with "/" (or "drive:/" for Win32), the
# server will use that explicit path. If the filenames do *not* begin
# with "/", the value of ServerRoot is prepended -- so "logs/foo.log"
# with ServerRoot set to "C:/xampp/apache" will be interpreted by the
# server as "C:/xampp/apache/logs/foo.log".
#
# NOTE: Where filenames are specified, you must use forward slashes
# instead of backslashes (e.g., "c:/apache" instead of "c:\apache").
# If a drive letter is omitted, the drive on which Apache.exe is located
# will be used by default. It is recommended that you always supply
# an explicit drive letter in absolute paths, however, to avoid
# confusion.
#

# ThreadsPerChild: constant number of worker threads in the server process
# MaxRequestsPerChild: maximum number of requests a server process serves
ThreadsPerChild 250
MaxRequestsPerChild 0

#
# ServerRoot: The top of the directory tree under which the server's
# configuration, error, and log files are kept.
#
# Do not add a slash at the end of the directory path. If you point
# ServerRoot at a non-local disk, be sure to point the LockFile directive
# at a local disk. If you wish to share the same ServerRoot for multiple
# httpd daemons, you will need to change at least LockFile and PidFile.
#
ServerRoot "C:/xampp/apache"

#
# Listen: Allows you to bind Apache to specific IP addresses and/or
# ports, instead of the default. See also the <VirtualHost>
# directive.
#
# Change this to Listen on specific IP addresses as shown below to
# prevent Apache from glomming onto all bound IP addresses (0.0.0.0)
#
#Listen 12.34.56.78:80
Listen 81

# Apache parses all CGI scripts for the shebang line by default.

# can execute this specific script. For a perl script, with perl.exe in
# the C:\Program Files\Perl directory, the shebang line should be:

#!c:/program files/perl/perl

# Note you _must_not_ indent the actual shebang line, and it must be the
# first line of the file. Of course, CGI processing must be enabled by
# the appropriate ScriptAlias or Options ExecCGI directives for the files
# or directory in question.
#
# However, Apache on Windows allows either the Unix behavior above, or can
# use the Registry to match files by extention. The command to execute
# a file of this type is retrieved from the registry by the same method as
# the Windows Explorer would use to handle double-clicking on a file.
# These script actions can be configured from the Windows Explorer View menu,
# 'Folder Options', and reviewing the 'File Types' tab. Clicking the Edit
# button allows you to modify the Actions, of which Apache 1.3 attempts to
# perform the 'Open' Action, and failing that it will try the shebang line.
# This behavior is subject to change in Apache release 2.0.
#
# Each mechanism has it's own specific security weaknesses, from the means
# to run a program you didn't intend the website owner to invoke, and the

#
#ScriptInterpreterSource registry

#
# DefaultType: the default MIME type the server will use for a document
# if it cannot otherwise determine one, such as from filename extensions.
# If your server contains mostly text or HTML documents, "text/plain" is
# a good value. If most of your content is binary, such as applications
# or images, you may want to use "application/octet-stream" instead to

I am traveling right now and do not have a constant access to the net but should be on line regularly soon....

If you have not reset your SSL to another port or commented out the referral to:

# Secure (SSL/TLS) connections
#Include conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

It may be what is screwing things up... I am not all that familiar with IIS but I am going to assume that it is calling to the same port Apache is ...port 443... either comment it out or re port it... see if that does it... I will try to check the board tomorrow....

First... go back to the instructions in the readme .... use 'alternative porting' and make the changes... all of them ... then post back your .conf file. IF you can use a text editor with line numbers, that would be very helpful.

see this is my readme_en

Code: Select all
###### ApacheFriends XAMPP (basic package) version 1.6.4 ######

  + Apache 2.2.6
  + MySQL 5.0.45
  + PHP 5.2.4 + PHP 4.4.7 + PEAR
  + PHP-Switch win32 1.0 (please use the "php-switch.bat")
  + XAMPP Control Version 2.5 from www.nat32.com   
  + XAMPP Security 1.0   
  + SQLite 2.8.15
  + OpenSSL 0.9.8e
  + phpMyAdmin 2.11.1
  + ADOdb 4.95
  + Mercury Mail Transport System v4.01b
  + FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.23
  + Webalizer 2.01-10
  + Zend Optimizer 3.3.0
  + eAccelerator 0.9.5.2 for PHP 5.2.4  (comment out in the php.ini)

* System Requirements:
 
  + 64 MB RAM (RECOMMENDED)
  + 200 MB free fixed disk
  + Windows 98, ME
  + Windows NT, 2000, XP (RECOMMENDED)

---------------------------------------------------------------

* QUICK INSTALLATION:

[NOTE: Unpack the package to your USB stick or a partition of your choice.
There it must be on the highest level like E:\ or W:\. It will
build E:\xampp or W:\xampp or something like this. Please do not use the "setup_xampp.bat" for an USB stick installation!]   

Step 1: Unpack the package into a directory of your choice. Please start the
"setup_xampp.bat" and beginning the installation. Note: XAMPP makes no entries in the windows registry and no settings for the system variables.

Step 2: If installation ends successfully, start the Apache 2 with
"apache_start".bat", MySQL with "mysql_start".bat". Stop the MySQL Server with "mysql_stop.bat". For shutdown the Apache HTTPD, only close the Apache Command (CMD).

Step 3: Start your browser and type http://127.0.0.1 or http://localhost in the location bar. You should see our pre-made
start page with certain examples and test screens.

Step 4: PHP (with mod_php, as *.php, *.php3, *.php4, *.phtml), Perl by default with *.cgi, SSI with *.shtml are all located in => C:\xampp\htdocs\.
Examples:
- C:\xampp\htdocs\test.php => http://localhost/test.php
- C:\xampp\myhome\test.php => http://localhost/myhome/test.php

Step 5: XAMPP UNINSTALL? Simply remove the "xampp" Directory.
But before please shutdown the apache and mysql.

* PASSWORDS:

1) MySQL:

   User: root
   Password:
   (means no password!)

2) FileZilla FTP:

   User: newuser
   Password: wampp

   User: anonymous
   Password: some@mail.net

3) Mercury:

   Postmaster: postmaster (postmaster@localhost)
   Administrator: Admin (admin@localhost)

   TestUser: newuser 
   Password: wampp

4) WEBDAV:

   User: wampp
   Password: xampp

---------------------------------------------------------------

* ONLY FOR NT SYSTEMS! (NT4 | Windows 2000 | Windows XP):

- \xampp\apache\apache_installservice.bat
  ===> Install Apache 2 as service

- \xampp\apache\apache_uninstallservice.bat
  ===> Uninstall Apache 2 as service

- \xampp\mysql\mysql_installservice.bat
  ===> Install MySQL as service

- \xampp\mysql\mysql_uninstallservice.bat
  ===> Uninstall MySQL as service

==> After all un- / installations of services, better restart system!

----------------------------------------------------------------

A matter of security (A MUST READ!)

As mentioned before, XAMPP is not meant for production use but only for developers in a development environment. The way XAMPP is configured is to be open as possible and allowing the developer anything he/she wants. For development environments this is great but in a production environment it could be fatal. Here a list of missing security
in XAMPP:

- The MySQL administrator (root) has no password.
- The MySQL daemon is accessible via network.
- phpMyAdmin is accessible via network.
- Examples are accessible via network.

To fix most of the security weaknesses simply call the following URL:

   http://localhost/security/

The root password for MySQL and phpMyAdmin, and also a XAMPP directory protection can being established here.

---------------------------------------------------------------

* Apache Notes:

(1) In contrast of apache 1.x, you can not stop the apache 2.x with the command "apache -k shutdown". These functions only for an installations as service by NT systems. So, simply close
the Apache START command for shutdown.
 
(2) To use the experimental version of mod_auth_mysql remove the # in the httpd.conf. Detailed information about this topic can be found on the left menu of XAMPP, once you started it.

(3) To use Mod_Dav load the Modules mod_dav.so + mod_dav_fs.so in the "httpd.conf" by removing the # on
the beginning of their lines. Then try http://127.0.0.1:81 (NOT for Microsoft Frontpage, but for Adobe Dreamweaver!)

---------------------------------------------------------------

* MYSQL NOTES:

(1) The MySQL server can be started by double-clicking (executing) mysql_start.bat. This file can be found in the same folder you installed XAMPP in, most likely this will be C:\xampp\.
The exact path to this file is X:\xampp\mysql_start.bat, where "X" indicates the letter of the drive you unpacked XAMPP into. This batch file starts the MySQL server in console mode. The first intialization might take a few minutes.
Do not close the DOS window or you'll crash the server!
To stop the server, please use mysql_shutdown.bat, which is located in the same directory.

(2) To use the MySQL Daemon with "innodb" for better performance, please edit the "my" (or "my.cnf") file in the C:\xampp\mysql\bin directory or for services the c:\my.cnf for windows NT/2000/XP. In there, activate the "innodb_data_file_path=ibdata1:30M" statement. Attention, "innodb" is not recommended for 95/98/ME.
To use MySQL as Service for NT / 2000 / XP, simply copy the "my" / "my.cnf" file to "C:\my", or "C:\my.cnf". Please note that this file has to be placed in C:\ (root), other locations are not permitted. Then execute the "mysql_installservice.bat" in the mysql folder.

(3) MySQL starts with standard values for the user id and the password. The preset user id is "root", the password is "" (= no password). To access MySQL via PHP with the preset values, you'll have to use the following syntax:

   mysql_connect("localhost", "root", "");

If you want to set a password for MySQL access, please use of MySQL Admin.
To set the passwort "secret" for the user "root", type the following:

   C:\xampp\mysql\bin\mysqladmin.exe -u root -p secret
   
After changing the password you'll have to reconfigure phpMyAdmin to use the new password, otherwise it won't be able to access the databases. To do that, open the file config.inc.php in \xampp\phpmyadmin\ and edit the following lines:

   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['user']            = 'root';   // MySQL User
   $cfg['Servers'][$i]['auth_type']       = 'http';   // HTTP authentification

So first the 'root' password is queried by the MySQL server, before phpMyAdmin may access.

how to change from port 80 to any other port number

Postby klaskatt » 21. May 2008 13:15

I think some people is always trying to find the hardest way out of a problem. I had the same problem and tried the DTX-thingie, but with no use (it's sure good for other things).

But here is my solution:
* change the httpd.conf as you did (not sure if that is even necessary)
* browse to the folder named xampp/apache/conf/extra and there you will find a bunch of conf-files. I edited httpd-ssl.conf (probably not necessary if yor're planning to use ssl-connections) and then... tada!... i edited httpd-xampp.conf to port 81 instead of 80, restarted the xampp control panel, and the problem is solved.

so.. i guess that all you have to do is to edit: httpd-xampp.conf

hope that solves your and many others problem

I suspect if it were that easy all of the time... we probably wouldn't have put all the time, dollars and effort into developing DTX (and then giving it away free) ... or getting folks to use a complete alternative porting solution... Especially with IIS... but thanks for the complement "that at least is good for other things" :D
