No problem

That would be better, but i also learnt the way you did, learnt it all by myself and working with the server and messing with it.

Just like Alleykat said, an excellent post indeed.

Thanks, and for the code, thanks a lot. Was looking for that code when i made that file and i know it causes a lot of problems for some. About the scroller, should be gone by next version. About MYSQL, i am sure that there will be a way to do it, just ask in any MySQL forum or chatroom or IRC Channel. I know you can export MYSQL 5 databases as 4.0 or 4.1 but not the importing. Thanks again.

*cough*

I am kinda confused with this one so i will let Alleykat handle it.... If you want outside access to your local server, edit the .htaccess file and make sure that you chnage the settings of your Firewalls and also forward the port on your router if you have one. About the MySQL question, you lost me there.... sorry

Try another port like Port 81, and then access it with http://localhost:81 After that, shut the server down with Stop.bat and make sure it is not running still by tryn to access it again. If that still dont work, restart your PC and then start the server up. Make sure you saved the httpd.conf file with the new change.

Make sure the perl file is in W:/cgi-bin, then access it by going to http://localhost/cgi-bin/name.ext If you place it in the W:/www/, try http://losthost/name.ext, but it might not work sometimes in there... it should definately in the cgi-bin though.

Make sure the php_mysqli.dll version you downloaded is the one for the same version of PHP on 3.3. It isn't, thats why you are getting that error. Don't copy from XAMPP, download the original PHP package from http://www.php.net/releases.php and then get it from there.

lol, thanks Ric. Yes, Windows does not have cron jobs. Lets all yell at MS. About the remaining, it can also be solved with 1 step, install the server as a service. Go to the /downloadpath/diskw/plugins/Services/ and edit the w2c1.pl file. Change the line: $pathc="c:/UniServerX.X" to something else that you want. Like if the Uniform Server HDD will be D:/ as you say, then change it to $pathc="D:/UniServerX.X"; The service will be installed and whenever anyone starts the computer and logs on, the server will automatically start... no need to run any start and stop files. See how easy it is About sendmail, there is no sendmail program for Windows thats free. The only one i know is Fake Sendmail and for that, you need a SMTP Mail Program.... Fake Sendmail is under development as a plugin for the Uniform Server. Fake Sendmail is also easy to install and just requires you to edit a line in the php.ini file, but you will need a mail program, preferably hMailServer. Well, thats it from me.... Good Luck

Thanks.

I will check and also ask around. Might want to check our IRC also.... click on the Live IRC Support at the top.

A, make sure you do not have a file called LIBMYSQL.DLL in your C:/Windows or C:/Windows/System32 folder. B, I hope you did not just copy th new server over your old one?

I think you need to do a search on Web Server Articles on Google. When the server starts on your PC, you are serving pages, either to you or to the outside world if open. When you save it in W:/www/ it will show up in http://localhost, meaning that its savd on your PC. Apache is just a program serving the site. You need to go to Google to find more articles that will teach you about servers and their functions.

Yeah, i know what you mean... I will try and search Google for more info... you can also do the same.

If you have it in there, delete it. It also causes problems.

No... Also forget the Port Triggering.... Not what i thoought it was i think. Try using another port.

There is something called Port Triggering... Try that... in the router setting.

Ok?

You will have to add :81 to the end of the ip. Like i did in the post.

Probably set the www to your IP.

Yap, your ISP is blocking port 80. Its working. Here it is. http://70.160.214.143:81/news.php Sorry if your ip is shown but it really makes no differnce as youo can se it also via the link. When it gives an error or on the progress bar of IE and FF. Also by viewing the source of the page

Yes.

hmm.. only other thing is that your ISP is blocking port 80. Try changing the port to port 81 and test it. You can do this by changing Listen 80 to Listen 81 in the httpd.conf file in W:/usr/local/apache2/conf folder.
