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 rules from an elevated batch file?

Thanks!

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.

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 executable. Also you seem to install it into the service manager with a different name too - i had to uninstall mine and reinstall it as apache2.2 and then the reload option worked a treat.

So why do you always rename apache? - I'm not criticising, I love US (xampp is trash) but this I find it odd that you do this.

Is this fixable, and if so how please?

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 apache directory security.

i do want to set a password so that people on the internal network must authenticate.

i have also added 'allow from 10' in the ht access files, so that i can admin the server from my local subnet.

any ideas? any way to set these passwords manually with a text editor?

let me know thanks!

i get the following when going to apanel/home

* Change the username/password for the Admin Panel here
* Change the username/password for the server here
* Change the username/password for the SSL server here
* Run the Security Console and see if everything is OK.

any help appreciated! thanks.

also i should note that the machine has two IP addresses, if that matters. really the only difference between dev and live. i set the ip in the httpd.conf (changed from localhost).

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 installed the first of 3 Server Zero on the Win7 box. I no sooner got the first one runing when a upgrade notice came in and then a week or so later I got another,,

Great server.. cudos' Setup took 2 minutes of editing, left almost everything as it was,, added web pages,, ((( using just HTML pages till this attack thing slows down, PERFECT just PERFECT...

So in a heady rush I figure I can upgrade the XP box to Uniform Server Zero XI...

One word NO---- don't do it,

It says yes you are accessable from the internet but you are NOT.... Then this box pops up to move the splash page and my whole file system.. so i move the splash page and now every few minutes a pop up saying page not found and and Uniform Server Zero XI can not launch the default browser and I get firefox opening a 404 web page the requested URL /us_splash/index.php was not found on this server... I guess it is not in the www root as that is where i copied it back to..

WIN 7 yes.. a great fit.. XP... use NANO... Although now only the win7 box http://couch-potato-sales.com/ is workingl

78ez.com is DOA....

sorry to ask as I'm sure this question has been asked allot and I'm sure it has been answered allot, however i did a search on Google and this site and haven't found an answer or may not be looking in the right place i been using uniserver since the mona days and i was never really bothered by the question i was just using the server as private to work on my sites and stuff but about 6 months backish i upgraded to coral and kept it private and just recently i wanted to probably use it as a live site for my main site so i secured it down and asked others if they can see my site via URL mysite.com everyone said they could see it accept me i can only view it via localhost how can i view via URL as well? some said it has to do with my router and ports.. the ports are open or no one can see the page correct? some said to allow the machine to be in DMZ not an option again everyone can see it via URL so it wouldn't be a firewall issue and no need to go that drastic to put the machine out in the open so to speak. is there something i could do to the uniserver config or is there a way that will allow me to see it as others? I'm running uniserver 8.9.2

Again sorry if i posted in wrong spot

Thanks

Rob

Any ideas on how I can solve this problem or what is causing it?

Thanks for your time.

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.

Thank you in advance.

seems like I’m having some issues understanding this (and getting it to work properly)… i found this article: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23665064/project-links-do-become-Salesforce-developer-not-work-on-wamp-server and tried to follow what was going on…

i created the pages as detailed, found some errors and fixed them (on last page of comments)

im trying to create a test web page where users wiil:

log in/get verified
allow some users to edit a mysql database on cars bought and sold at auctions
allow all users to see the mysql database records so they can review them…
now,this is NOT working right for me. First shot at programming php,mysql,java,html,etc. I’m really in the dark…

my first questions are,

all these .php files will go in the www folder?

when should/ do i make sub folders in the www folder?

(trying to understand php directory structure from the web page point of view)

any help appreciated. thanks

  //-- Check domain name looks resonable e.g fred.com

I did a test and by modifying this to allow longer strings {2,9} I can now successfully create .test and .localhost. The official specs allow a max of 63 characters so this really should be {2,63} - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/9238640/how-long-can-a-tld-possibly-be/9239264

I am no Pascal developer but I used lazarus 1.8.4 to build this and it now works exactly as I want.  (I had to add  LazFileUtils as an extra item to line 20 of us_common_procedures.pas to prevent an error, but maybe that isn't needed in the version 1.2.2 it was originally built in?)

Can  you update the Uniform release with an updated version of EdHost.exe?

That would leave my only other current issue that it cannot automatically create the vhost entry using https... but I think someone has already requested that

Thanks again

 

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.

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.

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.

so i have been using wampserver for awhile now and i am interested in switching to uniform server!

i copied my apache server folder over and the server starts properly and displays my site

BUT when i copy mariadb 10.6.14 folder and attempt to start the server it asks for root password,so i enter it and it gives an error saying it cannot be started.

i tried going to the mariadb website and doing a fresh install and it still wont work properly.

so how would i go about transfering my php 8.1.20 and mariadb from wamp to uniform server?

thanks!

BTW the apache version im using is compiled to use openssl 3.1(from apache lounge) if that makes any difference.

I'm using the last release of the Uniform Server with flat files CMS.

Is it possible to remove MySQL database and tools (PhpMyAdmin, Adminer) ?

Screenshot enclosed.

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

I disabled the antivirus, downloaded the file and checked it with virustotal which detected two threats:

Trojan.Shelma.abt (AV Jiangmin)
PE:Malware.Generic(Thunder)!1.A1C4 [F] (AV Rising)

Are they false alarms?

Now I installed XV in a NAS (assigned Z:). I copied in the content of \www from the HD, and started.

It replied with above message, and shut down. I I presume the aledged space is somewhere in a file path or name. Is there a usual suspect?

How can I find a space in a big tree? What
