Hi, I'm new user and also having an issue.

[tGxInspi]

Well, I've been using XAMPP for a while, but after reformatting my machine, then trying to set it up again, I am getting errors that are just frustrating and doesn't seem to be working properly.

This is the site: http://216.18.21.198:8095/

I think it has something to do with PHP. But not 100% sure. Because I did install the PHP Binaries (As stated) I did not make this, I am just using it because the person that released it allowed people to use it and it comes great help for me and my friends.

When you click

Code: Select all

BACK"; } ?> 

I get this:

Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. The link on the referring page seems to be wrong or outdated. Please inform the author of that page about the error.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.
Error 404
216.18.21.198
8/24/2009 10:18:35 PM
Apache/2.2.12 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.12 OpenSSL/0.9.8k mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.3.0 mod_perl/2.0.4 Perl/v5.10.0

All the script is coded in php.

My biggest guess is the PHP issue. I'm not sure if it is Apache either though. I was having an issue with apache before. If this is the wrong place/site just let me know and I'll take my business somewhere else

I would run away from this code, unless you don't care about security. All the PHP that is leaking through when I look at your site shows that this code is ready and waiting for a SQL injection attack.

I'm sure this is a PHP issue with the code, since some of the PHP code is rendering properly, but some is leaking through as raw text. But like I said, I would run away from it anyway.

Your code is visible perhaps because you are using short_open_tag like <? instead of the default <?php

This can be changed in the xampp\php\php.ini file.

Code: Select all

; http://php.net/short-open-tag
short_open_tag = Off

to On

404 errors are best read in the apache\logs\error.log file.

Alright that got me to Error 404.

Looking at the logs. I'm assuming there is something missing. Possibly something wrong with the installation?

Simply add this missing file to the mentioned folder and then this 404 File does not exist error message will go away.

Stop Apache, delete the error.log file and then restart Apache - it will be created again only now empty so you can have a clean file (also applies to the access.log file if that is starting to bloat).

Now load your site again and then check your error.log file and post the new smaller version here that will include all the latest error messages.

Also visit the script's authors' web site as there may be some upgrade available and if possible explain your issues there as really after making the php.ini edits and after adding a favicon.ico file to the htdocs folder any other php scripting errors would be down to the script's author perhaps.

I tried that before, but apparently what I did was wrong, so I downloaded one. Apparently issue is that I didn't have an icon (like this site has AF)

All fixed. I guess I need to make one now ;p

Takes for the help. Problem resolved.
