Joomla/php5.3 problem

Postby barndog » 03. December 2011 18:52

recently installed xampp1.7.7 on new windows7 computer. Built a Joomla site on local host. Just one of many. tranfered the site to a live host. made backup. tranferred the backup to localhost. Tons of errors. Discovered there seem to be problems and the only solution I could find was to go back in xampp versions until the problems (404, 500) errors disappeared. Bottomline:

Seems that something has happened within php. backups of joomla site fails to re-install AFTER php 5.2

1st: Please add your OS version and XAMPP version in your Profile Information

2nd: You have to give us much more details about the Joomla Version you are using on your online system. Joomla can work with PHP 5.3 since Joomla 1.5.15. Maybe you have to update your Joomla version or your Apache error reporting setting to get it to work on the current XAMPP version. Nobody can know without that necessary information.

got locked out of barndog account.

So the problem continues like this:

On localhost running xampp1.7.1 which uses php 5.2, and Joomla1.7.3 if I make a sit backup and move to live host running apache 2.2 with php 5.2.7 all is fine. But if I install xampp 1.7.3 or higher which move to php 5.3 on localhost, make back up and move live. Then move the live backup on to localhost I get 404, 500 errors and messages in apache log saying some admin directories are missing. However those directories (images, templates) are there because I see them. When I revert back to xampp1.7.1 those problems dissappear.

I am Not a guru of any type so I can't help further. Just though I would report a problem and muddle along trying to maintain my site at localhost so as to NOT disturb the live site except to do midnight maintenance when I must do live updates tdue to site additions via backup routines

You changed your password 2 times about 6 hours apart, did you forget the last password?

You may be able to recover it by clicking on 'I forgot my password' on the login page:

HTTP errors are logged in your \xampp\apache\logs\error.log. Take a look in there to find more about it (or quote the lines here so we can take a look on it).

I guess it's a Joomla Configuration problem (Base URL, .htaccess or something like that). The error.log should give us a hint.
btw: Do you use some Extensions for your Joomla instance?

What I see in Apache error.log:

[Mon Dec 05 00:10:32 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/announce
[Mon Dec 05 00:11:01 2011] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/xampp/htdocs/announce

more info in access.log:

Please tell us your full installation path for your local Joomla installation.
I guess your live environment URL point directly to your Joomla installation so that it is a DirectoryRoot / Base url issue.

Just a try.

- Open your C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf file

- Change line 183 from
Code: Select all
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs"
to
Code: Select all
DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/joomla17"


- Change line 210 from
Code: Select all
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs">
to
Code: Select all
<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/joomla17">


- Restart your Apache

- Try to access your Joomla directly with URL http://localhost/
