Bob is conversant with Windows Grep and several other windows tools. There is no “far-reaching black magic” the control architecture can be tailored to meet your specific requirements. To manually switch between production and development requires you to delete php.ini make a copy of either php.ini_production or php.ini_development and rename this copy to php.ini. As the name implies you need to update config_tracker.ini and change the appreciate parameter in “Set by script do not change” section. “it's odd that disabling the nag screen can be done by editing the ini file” This is valid because it’s contained in the “USER OPTIONS” section which is intended to be configurable by a user. “windows has no idea what to do and i dont fancy having to add ".ini_development" to my shell-handled type associations” point noted. All the best Ric

Quick update, we have now considered this. With the release of Coral-8 default is InnoDB enabled. All the best Ric

"i only see the basic Unitray plugin uploaded to SF" Had other priorities hence not all material was published. The two UniTray files have now been uploaded to SF. "bugs found: - when trying to start/stop either Apache or MySQL by clicking on the indicators in the Basic tray (run as program mode), nothing happens." Not a bug, the basic tray menu launches only the two main menus, program or service and provide server status feedback. "- clicking "stop both" leaves mshta.exe running." Again not a bug, closing either of the main menus stops msha.exe "- there's still no at-a-glance indication in the tray icon itself which shows that the server is running. you have to go to the tray menu to get to this info, which makes it much less useful. would be much better if it was done as in previous versions, update the tray icon green/red or half green/half red to indicate Apache/MySQL status. Also "restart servers" would be hugely useful, rather than clicking, stop, waiting, then start for each component independently." a ) More than one instance of Uniform Server can be run, hence it is not possible to use the tray icon itself to indicate server status. However for a single instance if you want that functionality you can tailor the design to meet your requirements. b ) "restart servers" You can easily add this functionality to both intermediate and full tray menu. "- every exe start forces you through the UAC prompt, i'm not sure if this can be fixed by signing the exes or whatever is done to avoid this." It’s impossible to circumvent this see BobS reply above. "Restart Servers" is a good idea, but would require a redesign of the control panel (where were you during the Beta? :-) Maybe after Ric takes a break he can come up with an alternative." Bob is correct both Menus and UniTray are tightly interlinked hence require a redesign. RC2 will include appropriate modifications along with new versions of UniTray that include implementations for a ) and b ) All the best Ric
