  2. I have Uniform Server running quite well from a USB key. Starting it using the "UniController BOTH" syntax generates Windows Firewall alerts. (Which would be a pain in the fanny for our users who lack computer skills...) I've looked at using UniService, but it requires the user to select the services to install. Can all of this be done from a command line via a batch file? Alternatively, since I note that Windows Firewall alerts don't pop up on subsequent starts, I'm wondering about making the firewall rules in advance so users are not prompted. Is this possible? How are these rules set (or generated) in US? What parameters would I need to define to create …

    I found various "how to remove" but they're either obviously outdated... or my buggy version is more buggy than I thought. Since I tried running as a service.. nothing works. There is (nor has there ever been) a tray icon for me to "right click" to stop/remove the service. Now nothing comes up at all. I see the service in "services" and I can start/stop it but I can't remove it. Exact instructions please.

    I've been using uniformserver since 7.0.1 Orion (infact that is my preferred version which i still use along with a later version on a different port). For reasons unknown, you always rename apache.exe to something else - such as httpd_z.exe in the latest versions. Why is this? In Orion there was no easy way to create virtual hosts without restarting. By using "apache -k restart" all of apaches child threads will reload their configurations from httpd.conf when they have finished their current task - without apache itself being restarted. In short, you don't need to restart apache each time you create a new vhost. However.. this fails with a renamed apache …

    Hi there. I have just started using uniserver and it worked great in our test environment! i had a small problem when moving to production today. It seems that i can set the mysql password OK, but i cannot set any of the other passwords. I have commented out the 4 lines in the ht access files and restarted apache. still no dice. It keeps asking me to set these passwords, i set it, it confirms that i have set it, and then right back to the beginning saying i am insecure and need to set passwords. also i am not prompted to enter a password when logging on to apanel. I have checked externally, and SITENAME/apanel returns a 404, so it is locked down OK based probably on a…

    WOW what a package. I have been running the NANO series for years. And have been mostly very happy with it, Then starting a bit ago it was attack after attack even caught a root kit and many many more virus. I tried Comodo, Norton And every thing i could find; studies HTACCESS till i lost half my hair and my husband started complaning, at one point I copied all my files (just my work not programs) to a stack of 100 dvd's and reformatted and reinstalled win7 and all my software programs. Just to get a clean slate.. So then there was this email lost in the spam for at least a week from Uniform Server announcing a upgrade was available for me. I jumped on it and installe…

    I just installed Uniform Server so I could dabble with some PHP. I downloaded Uniform Server 3.5 and when I start the server I get the purple screen that says Uniform Server but then the browser window just turns white. It is at http://localhost/apanal and I have navigarted through the URL to phpMyAdmin as well and all of the pages are blank white. Any ideas on how I can solve this problem or what is causing it? Thanks for your time.

    Hello everyone, I am sorry if this topic is generally discussed or an easy fix. I have been scouring the internet for a solution and have not been able to find one. I just installed Uniserver v2.3.0 trying to set something up. I have never used this program before. When I go to General > Server Internet Status, I do not get my IP address. Instead I get: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//EFT//.... At which point it gets cut off. Any idea of what may be causing this? Screenshot of the error is attached. I also changed from the default port to port 8080 (since something fundamental was occupying the default port). I also port-forwarded 8080. T…

  13. Hi First great that this is getting developed again - and that the source is now public One problem I always had is that I use Uniform Server for local development - and as such always wanted to use the .test and .localhost top level domains for development as they are reserved to prevent conflict (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.localhost). However EdHost.exe limits the top level domain to 2 or 3 letters (e.g. com, uk). I had a quick look at the code and in the source in lazuras IDE, and in the uniform_common_functions.pas there are two functions - valid_server_name, valid_server_name2 - that both have regex's that cause the limit. For example at line 176 …

  14. I have checked the path variable in the cron.ini file and am certain it points correctly to the php file that I want to execute. cron.log says Run OK as you would expect but the php was never executed. I deleted the file while cron was running and it still logged an OK as if everything was perfectly fine. I even changed the path to a fictitious one which contained no php files and cron still logged OK in its log file. There is very little information around this issue and not being able to tell what cron is/is not doing is extremely frustrating. Can anyone shed light on this problem for me? Thanks in advance.

  15. Using UniServer Zero XI 11.3.1 I am trying to get a php script running using the cron functionality. I can access my script using my browser and it runs successfully, but when it runs on the cron schedule it fails because it finds the mysqli extension is not loaded. I also notice that it does not pick up the date.timezone setting from my php.ini. What's going on? Any ideas greatly appreciated.

  16. I'm trying to migrate a local Wordpress Installation on Uniform Server. So far after doing a database backup, tried extracting all files replacing old ones, then importing the database backups, but same error. Also tried the line: innodb_force_recovery = 1 I'm afraid it didn't work either I did create a copy before attempting to upgrade, so there's no data loss, but I'm unable to properly upgrade from the old version.

    Good to see a new version, but on Windows 10, the Uniform Server window is too small on launch and is hiding some of the controls. Screenshot enclosed.

  21. I can launch Apache successfully using the command line option "UniController.exe start_apache", but I want to do this from VBA code in Excel or Access. The server starts fine, but when I try to access a URL (from a browser on localhost or elsewhere) I get 403 Forbidden. This only happens when I run the batch file from code: it works perfectly if I run the very same batch file manually. I don't understand why access should differ since it's surely using the same config files in each case. What am I missing? Thanks Ian

  23. I have recently changed my ancient 32-bit Windows 7 Pro laptop for a 64-bit replacement, and have chosen to run 64-bit versions of Ubuntu as the main OS with Windows 7 Pro as a VirtualBox VM, instead of running Windows 10 which came pre-installed. On my old laptop, I ran a handful of Uniform Servers in parallel - mainly Coral 8.x.x servers. The file structure I used for the servers on the old laptop has been duplicated on the new SSD running the Windows 64-bit VM. I have therefore been able to copy as-is the old server file structure to the new SSD. The Uniform Server I am trying to start is an 8.6.7/Coral version, but I am encountering the same problem with all o…
