Kurt Posted December 25, 2006 Report Share Posted December 25, 2006 Hello there, I've been playing around with CMS Made Simple for the past few weeks using Xampp locally. Now I have heard about "The Uniform Server" which seems much lighter than Xampp. The only problem is that CMSMS is not running smoothly under The Uniform Server. The pages load painfully slow and very often the css of certain pages doesn't load. I'm only left with the unstyled html. This never happens with Xampp. I have migrated and tested lots of other packages under The Uniform Server (Wordpress, ActiveCollab) but CMS Made Simple is one of my main development systems and I need it to run smoothly. Is anyone out there running CMS Made Simple successfully under The Uniform Server? Is there something that I'm missing? The installation went smoothly. The only warning I got was that the php memory limit was set to 8M (16 recommended). Could that be it? How would I go about changing that? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

olajideolaolorun Posted December 26, 2006 Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 In the php.ini file located in the /usr/local/php/ folder. Try and change this part with this: output_buffering = Off ; You can redirect all of the output of your scripts to a function. For ; example, if you set output_handler to "mb_output_handler", character ; encoding will be transparently converted to the specified encoding. ; Setting any output handler automatically turns on output buffering. ; Note: People who wrote portable scripts should not depend on this ini ; directive. Instead, explicitly set the output handler using ob_start(). ; Using this ini directive may cause problems unless you know what script ; is doing. ; Note: You cannot use both "mb_output_handler" with "ob_iconv_handler" ; and you cannot use both "ob_gzhandler" and "zlib.output_compression". ;output_handler = ; Transparent output compression using the zlib library ; Valid values for this option are 'off', 'on', or a specific buffer size ; to be used for compression (default is 4KB) ; Note: Resulting chunk size may vary due to nature of compression. PHP ; outputs chunks that are few handreds bytes each as a result of compression. ; If you want larger chunk size for better performence, enable output_buffering ; also. ; Note: output_handler must be empty if this is set 'On' !!!! ; Instead you must use zlib.output_handler. zlib.output_compression = Off This is just a test, never used that software but lets see if this will fix the problem. Its a fix from next version. Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope I followed your directions corrctly though, I just copied and pasted your changes to the php.ini file to overwrite what was already there. Strange, since I now have the following packages all working flawlessly under Unifrom server - Wordpress, ActiveCollab, mybb, WikiWakka, Moodle and PHPLIST. I can't explain what could possibly be different with CMS Made Simple. I have posted the same question to the CMSMS forms. I'll see if anything turns up there.

Kurt Posted December 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 26, 2006 Just thought I'd add that Xampp is still installed on my machine. Do you think that could smehow be conflicting with Unifrom Server and causing the problems? Even though I am not running them both at the same time, I have the feeling that they might be mixing with each other a bit. I'm also testing WOS portable and that seems to be conflicting with the others. I can't get it to launch correctly. Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olajideolaolorun Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Nah, they dont conflict with each other. Did you restart your server before trying it? Also, does it give you an error, anything? Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted December 27, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 Nah, they dont conflict with each other. Did you restart your server before trying it? Also, does it give you an error, anything? I deinstalled xampp anyway just to see and that also didn't make a difference. I'm not gettting any error messages. Installation itself goes smoothly. I'll try the server restart again though. One funny thing I noticed, when I navigate to the cmsmadesimple folder, I still get the xampp icon showing up in the address bar up top to the left of the URL. Even after I DEINSTALLED it! Wonder what that is? Any other ides? Kurt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrX Posted December 27, 2006 Report Share Posted December 27, 2006 ...

Wonder what that is? ...Maybe it's your browser cache that's causing the XAMPP icon to show up even after you've uninstalled it You're sure you didn't copy XAMPP's favicon.ico into Uniform Server, right?

olajideolaolorun Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Try Restarting... Quote Best Regards Olajide Olaolorun The Uniform Server Development Team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurt Posted January 6, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2007 Restarting didn't help. I decided to download Xampplite and use that for CMS Made Simple. Works perfectly and I can live with the having the Lite version installed along with Uniform Server. Thanks for the help. Kurt Try Restarting...
