Tried the drupal installer, get an error on site launch

Postby speller » 22. September 2016 17:24

I have a fresh install of xampp using xampp-win32-7.0.9-1-VC14-installer.exe
I adjusted the apache port to use 8088
I wanted to try the bitnami drupal installer to see what it was like. It seemed to make it through the install with one very generic error message.
Then I try to launch drupal at http://127.0.0.1:8088/drupal/ and get this error:

PDOException: SQLSTATE[42S02]: Base table or view not found: 1146 Table 'bitnami_drupal7.semaphore' doesn't exist: SELECT expire, value FROM {semaphore} WHERE name = :name; Array ( [:name] => variable_init ) in lock_may_be_available() (line 167 of D:\xampp\apps\drupal\htdocs\includes\lock.inc).

I've installed drupal many times on shared hosting type providers, and this is not an error I'm used to seeing. Any suggestions?

If it gets complicated I'll try installing drupal manually. Just wanted to see what the installers were like. It may be that the port change has created an issue?

This already is a bad idea, do not change Apache ports, instead find out, which Software occupies the standard HTTP Port (which is Port 80).

Yes! Most of the Bitnami installers already installs a full web environment, which finally collides with the Xampp installation (maybe this the reason, why you did change Port to 8088). Therefore i do NOT recommend to install BOTH Xampp and the Bitnami Drupal Installer. If you like to run Xampp, download Drupal from Drupal and install it as usually on webservers.

I can't have apache on port 80, it's in use by IIS which is more primary to my work. And I'll take your advice and skip the bitnami installers, unless someone else contradicts that a advice here.

Thanks!

Hi,

Why don't you add PHP to your IIS and install Drupal there?

best wishes,

Hi Altrea
I could do that, may do that, but for now decided to install xampp on a hyperv vm so that it could run on apache mysql and port 80. I will post another topic on that.
