Hi y'all, I'm trying to install phpbb2 to my 3.4 server, but the script fell over part way through. That's not the problem (well not yet anyway!). I thought I'd reset everything by dropping the database I had created and starting again, but I found that I can't drop the database! I can't drop any tables either! Looking at the privelages, user 'root' does not have drop rights. But as there isn't any other user on the system that can, I don't see how I can ever drop anything. Is this a MySQL issue or UniServer? Anyone know? Cheers, Paul.

Hi Ric, No, it turned out that phpMyAdmin is configured to use w:\databases as the file upload folder, but this doesn't exist. I created the folder and it all works OK now. Regards, Paul.

Tried both of those things and they didn't work . But I persevered, and found out what the problem was...me! What I did, once I got the server up and running was to go through the security checklist, and I changed the password for MySQL before visiting phpMyAdmin and changing it there. This had the effect of phpMyAdmin not being able to talk to MySQL. I changed the password back to 'root' and, hey-presto, phpMyAdmin now runs. Now I have a problem trying to import tables from another database: it's saying: Error: The directory you set for upload work cannot be reached when I go onto the Import tab. Guess I'll have to do some more digging to find where this is set... Cheers, Paul.

Found copies of MySQL and PHP on my machine (not surprising seeing as it has been my development machine for the last couple of years) but no Apache (which IS strange)... Found php.ini and libmysql.dll in the Windows folders, so I deleted them and re-booted...no change . Did some more digging and found, in Administration tools, an icon for IIS...oops!... Now I remember that I tried to create a website using IIS many many moons ago, and had clean forgot about it since! Shut down IIS...hooray! UniformServer works! Now, if only I can get phpMyAdmin to work... Thanks for the pointers Olajideolaolorun. Regards, Paul.

No, there's no Apache in the services, and no W: drive either. It's as if it started and then all shut down automatically. Regards, Paul.

I am trying to load the Uniform Server on windows XP Home. I don't have Skype or IIS installed. I extracted the files from the zip file onto my USB drive, run the Server_start.bat file the command prompt pops up momentarily and then nothing happens. If I run it a few more times, eventually the localhost/apanel flashes for a second with the Uniform Server logo which then re-directs and then I get: HTTP 403 (Forbidden) You are not authorised to view this page If I try to go to localhost/apanel/ I get: The page cannot be found I've checked the services and Apache isn't running (which is strange seeing as I get the above errors) and I don't have a mapping to the W drive. Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong? Cheers, Paul.

I've removed Skype but I still get problems. When I start the server, I get the logo and then get rediredcted to //localhost but this gives me "You are not authorised to view this page". Entering //localhost/apanel/ give me "The page cannot be found" Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm using XP Home without IIS. Regards, Paul.

Well, I went through it and still can't get it working Edit: ...tell a lie - just got it to work! I hate it when tutorials say "do this, do that...now you've got it working do the other" and you find you've got a problem on the "do that" step. In my case it was the execution of the bake.php script: it wouldn't recognise 'php' as a command. Went around in circles until I thought about adding the path to php.exe to PATH Now, on to the rest of th tutorial - it looks promising Cheers, Paul.

Been away for a while (moving house and stuff!) so only just seen this. Many thanks for the rply. I've posted a request on the tracker. Cheers, Paul.

Hi, I notice that there have been several requests for ASP.Net supposrt to be bundled with or made a plug-in for Uniform Server, and that each has been met with the reply that there is no open source version available that will run with Apache. I also notice that there is a sticky detailing how to get mod_aspdotnet working with Apache, but this project as now been closed by the Apache Group, so is probably of limited value, and also requires .Net 1.1 to be installed, which is not possible on a memory key or CD I have, however come across mod_mono for Apache which, from what I've seen, does the same job as mod_aspdotnet, but does not rely on having .Net installed and also has increasing support for .Net 2.0. The URL to get the relevant downloads is at http://www.mono-project.com/ASP.NET Would someone more technologically minded be willing to take up the gauntlet and see if they can get this working with Uniform Server? Regards, Paul.
