Can't install 1.4.8, "Can't find seachpath"

Postby vigge89 » 01. October 2004 15:41

I've been using XAMPP for half a year now, and I haven't been experiencing any problems so far, but after I reformatted my computer two days ago, I can't install it anymore.

I've tried installing using both the setup and the 7-zip package, but none of them works. When i try installing using the setup, I get an error in the command-prompt appearing during the setup. "Can't find searchpath" or something ("Kan inte hitta sökvägen" on swedish), multiple times before the prompt disappears.

After the extraction, I run the setup_xampp.bat file, but it says that PHP cli can't be found and then stops. THis happens with both packages (setup/7-zip).

I've tried extracting the files to "D:\Server" & "D:\test" but none of them works. I used "J:\Server" before the formatting, and it worked perfect.

Any ideas or clues?
Thanks in advance, vigge.

Hi vigge,

i have found this article in the Microsoft KB:

Hmm, doesn't look like it, I can run Exe-files, it's just something with apache/php I think. I've tried other server packages, but none of them worked either from what I have tested :(

You can run all new EXE-files you download?

It can be another virus... not only "SirCam". You have a virus scan installed? Try an online scanner.

You can use the tool "sfc.exe", to see if all Windows files are the correct version.

Hi Vigge,

mysterious...

I've tried other server packages

What's the name of the other packages? Older XAMPP packages?

Another changes for you is to extract the ZIP in "C:\xampp" and use the server without "setup_xampp.bat".

Apache2Triad, WAMP, EWS
i haven't really tried them out completly, i just installed them and tried to run them, didn't work on any package.

ill try the root-folder extracting :)

Edit: after extracting the xampplite zip into D:\xampplite, and then running apache_installservice.bat, gives this:
Installing apache2 as an server
Cannot find the searchpath.
Now we start apache2 :)
Incorrect servicename
(NET HELPMSG 2185)


I didn't run setup_xampp.bat

I tried execute the 'bin\apache -k install' in cmd.exe, after going to the D:\xampplite\apache folder, but it gave me this message:
"[Sun Oct 03 12:00:25 2004] [notice] Disabled use of AcceptEx() WinSock2 API"

I then started apache2 with "net start apache2"

apache seems to work now, but mysql doesn't
i can install the service, but after i've started mysql (net start mysql), it doesn't seem to start. if i try to load a php page with an mysql connection, it can't connect, and there's no mysql.exe in my tasklist :?
After starting mysql, if I stop it, cmd.exe says that it isn't running...

tried the new 1.4.9 7-zip package, still no progress. Apache/Mysql/Bat-files can't find the paths to the different files :cry:
