    Restarting Server

    Ric replied to Chaim's topic in Apache

    In all honesty I can’t answer this question! What OS are you using? What Version of Uniform Server are you using? “Also is there a one click way to RESTART APACHE from the desktop or start menu without having to always go into the uniserver admin page.” Unitray mirrors Apanel! All the best Ric

    Hey! Come on; give UniServer 6.0.1-Carbo a spin you may even like it. All the best Ric :angry:

    I confirmed PEAR hangs on 5.1-Nano and 5.6.9-Nano I assume it applies to all versions. Cause Go-Pear 1.1.1 no longer works on Uniform Server. Solution is to update to version Go-Pear 1.1.2. Navigate to folder Make a backup copy of go_pear.php Replace the old go_pear.php with new version At the top of your backup copy apply changes as listed to your new version. Alternatively download file go_pear_update_1_1_2.zip from SourceForge Use that file on versions 5.*-Nano and 6.*-Carbo All the best Ric :angry:

    PHP showing blank pages

    Ric replied to poirot's topic in PHP

    OK Lets take a step back! I assume you have switched to development mode. Reduce your test code to this: <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <title>Teste</title> </head> <body> <? echo "Hellow world"; ?> <?php echo "Este servidor fornece suporte ao PHP"; ?> </body> </html> Save the file as test.htm or test.html to folder UniServer\www Run servers and type http://localhost/test.htm or http://localhost/test.html Yep! A blank page. The server is not configured to pass files with extensions .htm or .html to the PHP processor. Hence no matter what you do you will never see an error message! :angry: 1] Now rename your file to test.php Type http://localhost/test.php Result as shown: “Este servidor fornece suporte ao PHP” 2] There is no “ Hellow world” as expected. This is because short tags are not enabled Hence change this: echo "Hellow world"; ?> To <?php echo "Hello world"; ?> 3] If you do want to pass .htm and .html files to the PHP processor Quick fix: Edit file UniServer\www\.htaccess Add the following line to end of file AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm 4]Alternatively edit Apache config \UniServer\usr\local\apache2\conf\httpd.conf Locate this line: AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php3 .php And add the extensions AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php3 .php .html .htm All .htm and .html pages are passed regardless whether they contain no php. It is a hit on processor time. Hey! Your server, if that’s what you want, no problem All the best Ric

    WMI

    Ric posted a topic in Open Discussion

    Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) With the release of 6.0.1-Carbo you will find some functions use WMI. This is allegedly generic XP, Vista and W7. If it proves not to be the case these functions will be regressed to ones that do work. That said I have tested on a vanilla XP-Home machine and it works fine. Hence this is open to XP+, Vista and W7 users. Please post negative or positive results. All the best Ric

    “For now Z-Controller looks more professional but popup menus are less intrusive you just click something and they go away. Maybe a poll will show what users prefer” That’s interesting! Z-Controller can be changed to dismiss itself to the tray bar. Hence once you click start servers after the flashing things it can minimise to tray. Not sure if you would like this: Perhaps go for Z-Con format with a tray menu feel. All the best Ric

    Differences between 5.6.8 and 5.6.9 are phpMyAdmin and msmtp The same will be true for 6.0.0 and 6.0.1 (to be published this weekend) In other words 6.0.0 is up to date as regards VC9 binaries. All the best Ric
  9. Ric
    Answer is in the documentation. To save you the trouble here are the instructions: Navigate to folder UniServer\alternative_control Copy file Start_2.exe To folder UniServer If you wish rename file Start_2.exe All the best Ric

    Version check “apanel/Version Check” this picks up most stable production release. “ Z-controller looks better for me than the default menus for Nano.” Real issue do we scrap Carbo’s pop-up menu and go for a Z-controller type implementation. “If I'm not wrong Nano 5.6.9 compared to Carbo 6.0.0 only the phpmyadmin is a newer version.” Yes and no! Carbo 6.0.1 will have all the updates and bug fixes to menu. All the best Ric :angry:

    Change all three configuration files. php.ini – is the active file (used by PHP) It will be overwritten when switching between production or development. Hence to retain changes make them to php.ini_production_nano and php.ini_delvelopment_nano All the best Ric :angry:
  12. Ric
    Not sure why it does that. :angry: Still working on a few items before next release. As for 5.6.9-Nano This alternative should work http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/Z_...er_Introduction It at first, appears complex, to run servers just click buttons on first tab All the best Ric
  13. Ric
    Nano – Uses VC6 binaries Carbo – Uses VC9 binaries and new menu Download and give Carbo a try, if you don’t like it just delete. All the best Ric

    What an excellent post! You ask a question and then post a solution. This type of issue I thought had long been resolved, apparently not. It was easily reproducible. Your solution works perfectly: putenv("PATH=C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS"); “Is there any reason this should not be the default action for Uniform Server startup?” No reason whatsoever however I will implement a slightly different solution: After reverting back to your original configuration try the following: Edit file UniServer\usr\local\apache2\conf\httpd.conf Locate this section: Loadfile "C:/Nano_5_6_8/UniServer/usr/local/php/ssleay32.dll" Loadfile "C:/Nano_5_6_8/UniServer/usr/local/php/libeay32.dll" Loadfile "C:/Nano_5_6_8/UniServer/usr/local/php/libmysql.dll" And add this line: Loadfile "C:/Nano_5_6_8/UniServer/usr/local/php/php5ts.dll" Note: Your paths will be different Above lines force Apache to load dll’s from a specific location. Advantage Apache does not need to search along any paths. “Some would consider inheriting a random PATH when starting a Web server to be a security hole” Environment variables exposed by the server are a secure sub-set of those exposed to the CLI interface hence not a security issue.

    Hi Bob “The real question is whether the CVE report took into account the requirement for password changes, or just assumed that people would run it as-is.“ The example code, which they used, did indeed assume run as is. Setting a password for Apanel there is no problem. As I mentioned anyone paranoid can rename the folder or delete it. All the best Ric

    I keep returning to this plugin! See no comments Jut wondering if it’s a MySQL superiority complex thing. If you want a seriously fast backend server consider MongoDB a prime contender. Yep! I have free time and looking at this plugin again. Hope to do Mongo justice. It all takes time hence the delay. When all material is ready and published hope you find it of some use. All the best Ric

    Background: Plugins and components (legacy) used in Uniform server must not contain a space otherwise they will fail. New versions of Uniform Sever were going to address this issue however with the introduction of Vista it had problems running servers from “c:/program files/application” hence restriction of no spaces in paths remain. It forces a user not to use this folder neatly resolving the Vista issue. Users generally install Uniform Server at the top-level of a disk drive and never see the “no spaces” warning. However they can install in sub-folders. Because start and stop scripts were not modified the restriction of no spaces remains. Older versions of Uniform Server had a similar problem however they mapped the server to a virtual drive letter eliminating the problem. New versions of Uniform Server dynamically rewrite all absolute paths avoiding the need for a virtual drive. These scripts assume no spaces hence restriction is in place for a good reason. Solutions. 1] Install Uniform server at a disk’s top-level 2] Installing in sub-folder ensure there are no spaces 3] Rewrite scripts to allow spaces (some components will have issues). This solution will not resolve the Vista issue when using “c:/program files/application” because of its limited access rights. "I have an existing distributed application that I would like to upgrade to US. The problem is that users already have the software sitting in which means I can't make new versions c:/application or I break backward compatibility and I don't even want to think about the implication for future patches." I don’t really understand the problem! However proposed solution may help 4] Proposed solution You can install (extract) Uniform Server to any location the paths can include spaces. However you cannot run servers directly from this location because of these spaces. Solution is to use the old Uniform Server trick of mapping a folder to a drive letter For example if you have extracted to folder C:\zz yy In this folder create a batch file Run.bat with the following content: subst W: "C:\zz yy" w: cd UniServer start Start.exe pause Maps drive leter “W” to folder "C:\zz yy" Changes working drive to W Change working folder to UniServer Start Unitray (start Start.exe) After testing you can delete pause Server sees path W:/UniServer and updates accordingly. The above is a proposal however I think you will still have a problem with Vista when using folder “c:/program files/application” limited access rights. Hey! You wont know until you try it. All the best Ric

    Take a look at the CHANGE LOG.txt file in folder UniServer\docs it list all versions of US Try version 3.1 If it fails just delete and try another that best matches your requirements. All the best Ric
  24. Ric
    In all honesty you don’t stand a chance. You are talking US 2.8a Why do you want to make such a retrograde step? Apart from security issues and third-party apps falling over you will find there are other issues. Hey! I am like that; don’t see the point until it’s explained. All the best Ric
  25. Ric
    Hey! You answered your own issue! Many thanks. That will certainly help others. Just adds a bit more to the open source community. All the best Ric
