Uniform Server - Windows

I'm installing Uniform Server on my XP pc for local use in installing, setting up and later uploading oscommerce to my live server at godaddy. I certainly hope I'm on the right track. I've gotten as far as installing Uniform server already and the first instruction I see is this: * Change the username:password for the Admin Panel by editing '/htaccess/home/admin/www/.htpasswd' * Change the username:password for the server (if private) by editing '/htaccess/www/.htpasswd' * Change the root password for mysql by editing '/home/admin/www/mysql_password' Where do I go to do that??? Can anyone post step by step instructions, with any advice, tips etc? I would be most…

Hello - has anyone gotten Uniform Server to run on a CD and if so, how was this accomplished?? thanks, megan

Hi friends! I am trying to use Uniform Server 3.3 on Windows 2003 for production, but when I run Server_Start.bat I get "403 forbidden" at http://localhost/apanel/ W drive is ok, W:\home\admin\www\redirect.html is ok Apache log: [client 127.0.0.1] (OS 4390)The file or directory is not a reparse point. : W:/.htaccess pcfg_openfile: unable to check htaccess file, ensure it is readable

I've been using Inform Server 3_2 without problems and though I would upgrade. When I click Server_Start.bat for 3.3 on my XP box, I get a series of popup error windows: According to phpinfo(), PHP does seem to have started well. I can click the run MySQL and it seems to get going ok. When I try to fire up phpMyAdmin, I get an error window cannot load mysql extension; please check PHP configuration Documentation So, it seems like I have some problem with the php/mysql connection, but I do not know how to fix it.

Hello, guys. How's it going? I just downloaded Uniform Server and am about to install on my PC (I'm running windoze XP). I'd like to create a website and practice my skills only on my PC, for now. I read the very informative "30 second WAMP" Wiki tutorial. However, I still have some questions. Step 2 advises that "As it stands now, your web server is running and serving web pages, but it is not visible to the outside world." So, how can it be that the server is "running" but not outwardly visible? Seems to me that the MySQL or Apache server would at least be aware of my IP address if I have there server(s) running on my machine. There's no internet contact wh…

When you receive the error message HTTP_REFERER is not localhost. but ''. the security check is working. Disabling the security check by commenting out the offending lines in /home/admin/www/cgi-bin/secure.pm is masking the problem. What is this referrer thing? When you click a link to go to a new Internet page, your browser secretly sends along with the request the domain address of the current page. This is called the 'referrer' among other things it can be used for data logging to find out where a user came from. UniServer uses the referrer to check validly of the domain (localhoast) that can access the admin area. Now depending on your firewall settings the refer…

While demonstrating the flexibility of UniServer 3.3, I was surprised to find changing the drive letter to anything other than W produced a recursive loop my browser (Firefox 1.0.1) trying to continually load cpanel. There were a few other errors thrown in while testing "redirection limit of this URL exceeded" Apache error log showed a file could not be found interestingly it started with W: the cause was traced to file config.ini.php located in diskw/home/admin/www/includes The offending line: $drive = "W:"; Replace with this: $drive = $_ENV['Disk'] . ":"; It gets the environment variable as set (set Disk=%1) in the start-up batch file. ======== config.ini.p…

I want to run US Via its own HDD therefor the (W) is not needed, can i easily edit the VB script at startup so that the drive (W) dosunt have to be created, and instead of the (W:/www) drive, i want to set it to (D:/root) D:/ bein ga seperate blank HDD for my Webserver files. or even better the D: being the main directory of the files. Also i need a sendmail script to be added into the server, i found a simple one but dont know how to intergrate it all.. i think it should be possible to RUn it Via one of the batch files or teh VB.. also i need all these fiels to start up at system start, as a background process. so as soon as ANYONE loggs onto the computer apache, php, …

Hi, I'm doing a speech for a Computer Security talk on why packages like Uniform Server should be used rather than trying to install programs and use their default settings for security. I would like to use the settings set in the Uniform Server config files as an example. I'm trying to find where in the server files the MySQL "my.ini" or similar file is stores to give the server startup parameters. I'm new to Uniform server, and have found Apache and PHP's config files just fine. Please help me out. -Rob

Hi. I'm new to programming or at least PHP. I've loaded Uniserver 3.2a previously and now 3.3. I'm having a few problems. The main problem I'm having is connecting to MySQL. I'm also still getting the 3.2a main page when I go to localhost/a/. Well actually I was looking for the home page on localhost/ and I got the old 3.2a page showing the "here has to be your server" page with the reference to the 3.2a admin page and that was how I discovered the 3.2a admin page was still there. If it isn't a problem my main concern is connecting to MySQL. I've tried the PHP manual examples and I keep getting "Call to undefined function mysql_connect()". I haven't made any con…

Hey Olajideolaolorun I was wondering if you would allow me to post a tutorial of mine because i know how hard for beginners to setup this server of yours. If so ill be happy to post my tutorial for the others that need help.

Howdy everyone. First, great setup with Uniform server... very quick setup... so far very pleased. I'm running into an issue whereby when I setup a virtual host... it will resolve... but resolves to the root directory (www). instead of the directory inside of www. Honestly... what I'd like to do is have it point to a directory in a folder I have in the root of the drive. I have: g:\Uniform Server\<typical directory structure here> g:\www\<web project folders here> I'm confused. What do I need to do to make the magic happen? Sincerely, Mickey

This is in my "/www/.htaccess" file and i need to know if its right. or some people say to delete it but i dont want everyone getting in without a pass so please help. do i delete this one? HELP. i connot connect from the outside of lan, my ISP doesnt block port 80 because i have Shaw Extreme. ask if u need more info. How would i go about this edit the file or wut, what changes do i make. Thx NOTE: i have already tried editing this file!!! Modified .htaccess file --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # This file provides security to the server limiting access to the localhost only. # Comment to deactivate. #…

Hey all I have Uniserver and even when I run it as a local host (i also run one just over the LAN), it is extremely slow, taking seconds to load each page, when it seems to me that it should run very fast, being local on the machine and all. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to speed it up?

I’m in school, I don’t know anything about Web Programming, although I’m an excellent Desktop Programmer...Anyway, they forced me into an Online class, and I totally can’t understand whatever the teacher isn’t telling us. So that’s where I am. I’m trying to get UniformServer to run. I just got it installed on my flash drive and I was so excited; it works…Comes up with LocalHost…But now I need to get it to do stuff… I need to create like a virtual directory so that I can type in: http://localhost/mark (my name) and then I need my Perl project to come up. I’ll be able to do the Perl programming, but what I’m really asking is how do I get it to accept my http://loca…

Hi , i am currently running the latest version of uniform server running with PHPBB . i am having a problem where by the server and forum function fine for an unspecified amount of time then for no aparent reason the server stops responding and no one can access it . although all the services are still running. Stoping the server and restarting and starting up mysql seems to fix the problem for a while, but again it will do the same. not sure if its a phpbb , mysql or an apache problem. Unfortunatly as im fairly new to webservers and php not very good at trouble shooting so would apreciate your help. here is the error log for the server. and if this turns out to be a p…

is there any way to start the server with out the cmd control panel coming up? thanks, megan
