1. XAMPP 1.5.5 is nearly 4 years old. The newest XAMPP Version is 1.7.3. I recommend you to install a new version of XAMPP!
2. Never ever install XAMPP in a folder with spaces or Spqcial Characters like Program Files (x86)! Install xampp directly in the root of your HDD (C:\xampp)
3. i don't know anything about your OS. The folder Program Files (x86) showes, that it is a 64Bit Windows OS, maybe Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008. If your Windows has the new UAC (user access control), it is often a good advise to install and start xampp as administrator (right click -> run as administrator)

[joomlacı]

OS is vısta 64 bit as you say.

I set up XAMPP in a folder C:\xampp and edit configuration.php again.
And run it as administrator.

But it's same again. Main page ok but other page links dont work

Okay, you should check your Joomla installation.
I don't know Joomla, so i can't assist you on this part.

Maybe there is a better chance to solve this problem in a Joomla Board, because i don't really think this problam is in any way related to xampp. Maybe i'm wrong, i don't know.

[joomlacı]

I don't think it's joomla fault. Because I set and run joomla on localhost many times. It may be win64 bit problem. XAMPP 1.5.5 supports 32bit. I don't know it is eough to run as administrator to make compateble for win64.

I don't know if there is XAMPP version for win64 . But it must include php 5.2 , because joomla doesn't work on php 5.3.

Okay, i have installed the latest XAMPP (XAMPP 1.7.3 with PHP 5.3.1) and the latest Joomla CMS (Joomla 1.5.17) on my Windows 7 64Bit OS and it worked like a charm! No errors, no wrong file destinations.
Of course i don't have build an own template but used the example template.

What could be the problem with yours:
- you copied your joomla template. Maybe you have forgotten to change a basedir in joomla or the template.
- could be a problem with mod_rewrite. check your htaccess file in your joomla folder
- could be a problem with a wrong Apache configuration. Let us take a look on your xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf, xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-xampp.conf, xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhost.conf files
- could be a incompatibility of any of your components (Apache, PHP, Joomla, Joomla template)

Where to start? You don't think it's a Joomla problem. Okay, then choose your options.

the latest Joomla works perfectly on my Win86x

Same problem here. Joomla is installed on xampp on my E drive. I'm able to access the index page, and the administrator section of the site, so I can work on it.
However with my menu items, I get an Error 404.

Below are some details of the installation:

Location: E:xampp/htdocs/mysite.com

For xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf I've got this:

Code: Select all

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
  DocumentRoot E:/xampp/htdocs/
  ServerName localhost
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost http://localhost/mysite.com>
  ServerAdmin admin@localhost
  DocumentRoot E:/xampp/htdocs/mysite.com
  ServerName mysite.com
 
  <Directory "E:\xampp\htdocs\mysite.com">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
  </Directory>
</VirtualHost>


for the apache/conf/httpd.conf file I made sure this was uncommented:

Code: Select all

LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

in my windows host file I've got:

Code: Select all

127.0.0.1      localhost
127.0.0.1      mysite.com

Any advice? Thanks.

However with my menu items, I get an Error 404.

These errors are best investigate by reading the \xampp\apache\logs\error.log file.

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName localhost
DocumentRoot "E:/xampp/htdocs"
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName mysite.com
DocumentRoot "E:/xampp/htdocs/mysite.com"
ServerAdmin admin@localhost
<Directory "E:/xampp/htdocs/mysite.com" >
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes ExecCGI
AllowOverride All
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

The changes I recommend are in red.
Save the file and restart Apache and if for some typo reason Apache can't start again refer to the all knowing error.log file mentioned above.

See if that works and sorts out the 404 errors.

Your HOSTS file looks fine.

The mod_rewrite setting is correct and would be used by any .htaccess files in your Joomla folders.

HI thanks for your help. I made the changes you suggest, but the links (specifically, the menu items) still return a 404

Here's the error log: (note that the header has a .swf file. it works on the index page)

Code: Select all

[Mon Jul 11 09:54:47 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: E:/xampp/htdocs/mysite.com/templates/mytemplate/swfobject.js, referer: http://localhost/mysite.com/

Advice?

Thanks.

Advice?

If you have a VirtualHost mysite.com, you should use it!

Dont enter http://localhost/mysite.com but http://mysite.com

And urgently read some documentation and tutorials about Apache. Spend a few weeks (at least) by learning - you obviously do not have any idea about Apache and webservers. A forum cannot replace the need of reading documentation.

Hello,

One possible solution could be to check that the addition of localhost in your URI is not being added by a setting in Joomla.

For example change the server name in Joomla from localhost to mysite.com and see if that allows you to move forward.

BTW, I am not familiar with the settings arrangement in Joomla.

Please let me know back if it was indeed Joomla.

Thanks and good luck.

[jrtaylor]

Sharley, thanks! I'll check out the settings and let you know what I find.
