phpwcms Support Forum

Hi all

I am trying to setup phpwcms on my local computer. Everything works, except when I run setup.php I always get the same error: 'Please proof your database settings, there might be some mistakes!'

I have seen some other threads on this error, however I cannot solve my problem with those. When I check the Apache logs, I see the following lines:

[Tue Mar 29 11:47:22 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Notice: Undefined variable: conf_file in C:\\Apps\\Apache\\Apache2\\htdocs\\ibw\\setup\\setup.php on line 290, referer: http://localhost:8080/ibw/setup/setup.php?step=1

Can anybody find some clues in here that can help me solve my problem? Thanks in advance!

Hi

wich Version of mySQL you're running on the Server?

I am running the following:

MySQL 4.1
Apache 2.0.53
PHP 4.3.10.10
OS: Windows XP

Hi

don't see this yesterday

C:\\Apps\\Apache\\Apache2\\htdocs\\ibw\\setup\\setup.php on line 290, referer:

check your Configuration of the Server - and find out where the double Backslashes comes from?

The problem was probably that I was missing some software to connect to MySQL from PHP. Downloading and installing XAMPP solved the problem: it worked directly, out of the box!

You can download it from apachefriends.org
