Unitray does not show on Windows 2003 IIS R2

[hawkesley]

I want to upgrade from Apollo 3.2 to R7 principally to get php upgraded.

I have loaded the download and turned off the Appollo uniserver, but when I hit the start exe I get the message Unitray created , but it is not showing. Nothing in the logs so I guess the servers never started.

How should I go about sorting this please.

Unitray "should" appear in the System Tray, with the number of server(s) running, something like a white number on a blue box ...

 

Besides, there are two folders to play with yourself, "a_diagnostic" and "alternative_control" ...

Thanks. As I said I don't see the unitray in the system tray. What do these 2 folders do?

[Shyokou Ouyou]

It might be a nice idea to run the scripts under that two folders from within a CMD Prompt ...

 

Just read and you may see that "a_diagnostic" is the folder for diagnostic purpose:

 

a_diagnostic/1_port_check.bat
a_diagnostic/2_Apache_program.bat
a_diagnostic/3_Start_MySQL_program.bat
a_diagnostic/4_Stop_MySQL_program.bat
a_diagnostic/5_Start_Services.bat
a_diagnostic/6_Stop_Services.bat
a_diagnostic/server_status.bat

 

and "alternative_control" for alternative control of services:

 

alternative_control/remove_drive_w.bat
alternative_control/run_on_drive_w.bat
alternative_control/Service_Install_Run.bat
alternative_control/Service_Stop_Uninstall.bat
alternative_control/Start_2.exe
alternative_control/Start_Cron.bat
alternative_control/Start_MySQL_Console.bat
alternative_control/Start_Server.bat
alternative_control/Start_UniTray.bat
alternative_control/Stop_Cron.bat
alternative_control/Stop_Server.bat
alternative_control/Stop_UniTray.bat

 

Unless you put your clone under a path with space (U0020) ...

First off, is IIS running? Are you using that in lieu of Apache? In any case, be sure to check the ports first.

Sorry to be so long in replying and thanks for your reply.

IIS is running and I am not using it in lieu of Apache.

I can run 3.3 with no problem.

I turn that off and then try R&. No Tray,but if I then restart I get the message that an instance of Apache is already running.

How do I check the ports?

[BobS]

Let's go back even further; what version of Windows are you on? WS2003 or WinXP? I assume you're not on later versions, but I don't know that, and it makes a big difference. Also, which revision of version 7? I have been using 7.0.0, but this may also be a problem source for you.

I can run 3.3 with no problem.

That's likely because there's no conflict with port 80. I don't recall enough about old 3.3 to remember just why.

 

I turn that off and then try R7. No Tray, but if I then restart I get the message that an instance of Apache is already running.

So the first question is what do you mean by "turn off" and "restart"? These terms aren't clear enough to explain just exactly what is happening. I assume you mean stop all processes from 3.3 and remove disc W:,

so that there are no leftover remnants.

That means when you start version 7, it should create the icon This may be blocked by security restrictions. In any case if you can't see the icon, exactly how are you starting the servers?

Then you say "restart," but don't say what exactly you're restarting, or how.

Also, have you used task manager or process explorer to check on what is running? What are the results?

 

How do I check the ports?

Use the a_diagnostic/server_status.bat, which will show you the port status, plus much more.

Thanks for your reply.

I will clarify.

I am running Microsoft Windows Server 2003 R2 on an IBM server.

 

I have version 7.0.0

Regarding this I noticed this in the change log for this release,

7.0.0 - PHP updated to 5.3.6

- Server components updated from VC6 to VC9

Note - To run this version of Uniform Server the Visual C++ 2008 redistributable package is required.

It can be downloaded from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/deta...0D-3802B2AF5FC2

The process I have gone through is to close version 3,3 by closing mysql in the admin panel and running stop.bat from the folder.

I then open the R7 folder and click on Statr.exe

An alert box says the systems tray has been created but it is not there.

Using the diagnostic programs eg Apache it says Apache is not running.

I am operating the server remotely using my IMac and I cant find how to get the task manager running.

I have copied the port check results for both 3.3 and R7

as below

With 3.3 running

This test checks ports are free to use.

Scan down Local Address column

Look for any address ending with the following:

 

:80 (Apache standard port)

:443 (Apache standard SLL port)

:3306 (MySQL standard port)

 

Any entries found will prevent Uniform Server running

 

Disable any program using the above ports.

Generally Skype and IIS occupy port 80. Move Skype to another port, stop IIS se

rver.

 

Rerun test to ensure the ports are free (not listed)
