Upon trying to start Apache it fails with an an error on line 458 of the httpd.conf file:
- Code: Select all
Include "conf/extra/httpd-perl.conf"
This is quite right as the 'httpd-perl.conf' file does not exist. After commenting out that line it starts up okay but the XAMPP index page displays several errors which probably shouldn't be there. They are concerned with lines 111 and 112 or the 'navi.php' page:
- Code: Select all
<?php include "special.inc"; ?>
<?php include "naviguest.inc"; ?>
Again, these files are missing from the installation.
Also, MySQL just does not start at all. There are no errors logged - in fact no log file at all. It simply says:
- Code: Select all
MySQL konnte nicht gestartet werden
MySQL could not be started
It is using 'mysql\bin\my.ini' for its configuration which all looks okay as far as I can tell. I have no idea why that isn't starting but I am very disappointed with this version of XAMPP so far.
On an unrelated note, I had great difficulty registering to use this forum. My home email account is an address at yahoo.co.uk which appears to be unacceptable by your phpBB installation. I got no error message telling me this it just kept returning me to the registration page. It was only through trial and error that I found it was the email address that was causing it to fail so I had to use a work email address instead.
