Currently there are no plans for a mail server plugin. For most applications the inbuilt SMTP client (msmtp.exe) is adequate. Down side, it requires an external mail server such as your provider’s or Gmail. Advantage easy to use, configure and if using something like Gmail is portable. Mail servers are servers in their own right and require a DNS record to be set-up specifically for your domain. If you are happy with this you can choose from a vast number of mail servers. For example: MercuryMail is ideal it has been around since the dawn of time. It’s modular; choose appropriate modules as required to meet your particular application. Can be relatively difficult to configure. For the above reason a better alternative would be hMailServer it’s very easy to configure and use.

Instead of: $hostname_coupons_database = "localhost" Try: $hostname_coupons_database = "127.0.0.1" All the best Ric :angry:

I am surprised! No one has shown an interest. Not a big deal, hence kicking it into touch. Spin-offs (Duplication and key gen) have been reflected in new US releases. As a separate entity it has grown into an 11M monster. :angry: Clearly not the way to proceed; hence have taken an alternative root. It will not (for compatibility reasons) be integrated into the 5-Series :angry: An alpha will be published soon (6-8 Weeks). All the best Ric

Corrected hungry replace in shebang update :angry: It’s a shame seems I corrected it in one place however it occurs in two places :angry: The one I missed is in file: UniServer\unicon\main\includes\functions.php Edit file and locate this section: //=== Update shebang in all files in folder cgi-bin and sub-folders =========== if (perl_installed()){ // Only update if Perl installed $start_dir = US_CGI_BIN; // Main Perl folder $file_type = '/(\.pl|\.cgi)/'; // List of file types $search_str = "/#!.*/"; // Old shebang $replace_str = "#!".US_BASE_F."/usr/bin/perl.exe"; // New shebang recursive_search_replace($start_dir,$file_type,$search_str,$replace_str); } Change fifth line to: $search_str = "/^#!.*/"; // Old shebang All the best Ric

I tried this. Not a problem. Before running the installation create a database named cms using phpMyAdmin. All the best Ric :angry:

Uniform Server honours the shebang! By this I men its not ignored for portable reasons. However it does require a full path, which is changed automatically. The following is a proposed solution that does not make entries to your PC’s registry Download and extract a version of Uniform Server to a fixed folder. Run the servers once to establish paths. Download a Perl plugin (minimum or full) again run severs once. On the same drive create a new folder at top level of disk named: (C:/)usr/bin/perl Now copy everything in folder UniServer/usr/bin To (C:/)usr/bin/perl Check that your scripts in folder xxx/UniServer\cgi-bin work The above is a fixed development environment and not portable It’s proposed because I have not had time to test it. :angry: All the best Ric :angry:

UniServer 5.6.7-Nano This release of Uniform Server is a maintenance update. MySQL updated to 5.1.48 Updated PHP info page Updated server certificate and key generation - reduction in size Corrected hungry replace in shebang update Removed SSL duplication Download 5.6.7-Nano Wiki page support Server key and certificate generation revisited. Regards, The Uniform Server Development Team :angry:

Documentation is reasonable! Probably will never catch up. That said the Wiki is open you can edit pages accordingly. If you are still using 4 series for production, consider upgrading to 5.6.6 there have been a number of security updates. All the best Ric :angry:

No maintenance required. Well! Could not resist a challenge. :angry: Converting those SSL batch files to PHP for generating a server certificate and key. It took around 3 hours to crack! Just required a NULL. Yep! New UniTray is getting there. :angry: All the best Ric

Interesting! No responses. I have moved this menu over to VC9. Yep! An increase in size and may have hidden problems. I am converting all batch file dependences to something more friendlily. :angry: It will remain an independent plugin and just tap into Uniform Server’s control architecture. My free time is being eroded away hence will give priority to 5-series maintenance. Tray menu will be placed on the back burner. :angry: All the best Ric

Check the log files to see if they can pinpoint the problem. Run scripts in folder UniServer\a_diagnostic they provide more detail. All the best Ric :angry:

An interesting and constructive post, added to my to do list. All the best Ric :angry:

Whole point of the USB plugin is to transform Uniform Serer so it is totally impendent of the host machine. It uses a PAC file to resolve IP addresses, this requires configuring in a browser hence why USB uses portable Firefox. It is indented for users running several Vhosts. If you want to use the default browser on a users PC just copy a version of Uniform Server to your USB memory stick (the USB plugin is not required). Majority of PC’s will resolve localhost hence will not be a problem., If you are using several Apache Vhost’s you will have to copy corresponding entries from your “host” file to the other machine’s host file. All the best Ric :angry:

I started looking at that utility! :angry: Quickly became apparent it should be integrated into the initialisation phase of the menu. Hence moved me priority and integrating it. Now would be a good time to request new features that old UniTray lacked. No requests will be a shame! :angry: You will get my draconian interpretation of what’s required. Remember it’s currently a throwaway plugin and part of a tutorial. Hence you can give it a work out. Where does it fail, why does it fail. Well I am off for a week, so I suppose its purely academic. All the best Ric

I see no interest shown in this! :angry: Hence this weekend I will devote me time to a useful utility. :angry: All the best Ric

I could not find anything new! :angry: Perhaps I have missed something. :angry: All the best Ric

That mod was introduced staring at US 5.5 to resolve W7 issue. It’s difficult to resolve issues on the forum when US and OS version are not stated. All the best Ric :angry:

There are two configuration files for PHP production and development. For security reasons Uniform Server defaults to production and error reporting to screen is disable. To check which file you are using, from UniTray run “Server Status” A script will run, fourth line down shows which file is switch in. For error reporting you need to use the development file. From UniTray select “Advanced” From sub-menu run the third item from bottom “php.ini switch to development” Restart servers to allow new configuration to be picked up. Errors will be displayed to screen Additional errors are found in file UniServer\usr\local\apache2\logs\error.log This file is accessible from UniTray “Server information and logs” All the best Ric :angry:

Problem is with your php script. It is an old script that uses short tags '' and '=' These should be replaced with their long form counterpart. '<?php' and '<?php echo' There is a quick way to test if this is the problem By default Uniform Server has short tags disabled You can enable short tags as follows: Edit file UniServer\usr\local\php\php.ini Change this line: short_open_tag = Off To: short_open_tag = On Please read the note above this line it explains you should not use short tags. All the best Ric :angry:

Just wondering if anyone has tried the plugin or are even interested in it. Will kick this into touch if of no interest. All the best Ric :angry:

OK! It’s a port issue, try running move servers. Uniform Server will run along side existing servers. All the best Ric :angry:

Hi Megan That information is of real use it may help to pin-point the problem. First what version of XP are you using? This error suggest your MySQL server is running #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES) On version 5.6.6 run the following tests. I really want to know if MySQL is accessible from a command window. 1 Start servers as normal 2 Navigate to folder UniServer\alternative_control 3 Run “Start_MySQL_Console.bat” opens a command window 4 Type the following: mysql -uroot –proot You should see something like: Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g. Your MySQL connection id is 11 Server version: 5.1.47-community MySQL Community Server (GPL) Copyright © 2000, 2010, Oracle and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Type '\c' to clear the current input statement. mysql> If you get the above type: exit Response will be: Bye 5 Repeate 4 with the following: mysql -hlocalhost -uroot -proot 6 Repeate 4 with the following: mysql -h127.0.0.1 -uroot -proot Results should be identical for 4,5 and 6 Hopefully the results will pinpoint where to look.

MyQL server is independent of US try upgrading to a 64 bit version as follows:. US Initial set-up: 1 Create a new folder c:\us_temp 2 Download and save UniServer5_6_6.exe to above foder 3 Extract files (double click on UniServer5_6_6.exe) 4 Run Start.exe 5 From UniTray run “Server status” 6 Close UniTray 7 Open file C:\us_temp\UniServer\usr\local\mysql\my.ini 8 Look for basedir = "C:/us_temp/UniServer/usr/local/mysql/" Your path must match that shown, confirms US set-up is working. MySQL 64Bit install: 1 Create a new folder c:\us_temp1 2 Download file Windows (x86, 64-bit), ZIP From http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#downloads 3 Save to above folder. Extract all to this folder 4 Navigate to folder C:\us_temp1\mysql-noinstall-5.1.47-winx64\mysql-5.1.47-winx64\bin Copy the following files to folder C:\us_temp\UniServer\usr\local\mysql\bin allow overwrite: mysql.exe mysqladmin.exe mysqldump.exe Copy file mysqld.exe Delete file mysqld-opt.exe Rename mysqld.exe to mysqld-opt.exe (renaming is a legacy thing) 5 Navigate to folder C:\us_temp1\mysql-noinstall-5.1.47-winx64\mysql-5.1.47-winx64\share Copy across all folders and files that match to folder C:\us_temp\UniServer\usr\local\mysql\share allow overwrite: 6 Navigate to folder C:\us_temp1\mysql-noinstall-5.1.47-winx64\mysql-5.1.47-winx64\data\mysql Copy all files in this folder to C:\us_temp\UniServer\usr\local\mysql\data\mysql 7 Copy file C:\us_temp1\mysql-noinstall-5.1.47-winx64\mysql-5.1.47-winx64\bin\ libmysql.dll To folder C:\us_temp\UniServer\usr\local\php MySQL 64Bit set-up: 1 From folder C:\us_temp\UniServer 2 Run Start.exe 3 From UniTray run “Start UniServer” 4 From UniTray run “Server status” Confirm both servers are running. 5 Set default password From UniTray select “Advanced” run “MySQL password restore” PhpMyAdmin check Restart servers and check phpMyAdmin can access MySQL server. The above may offer a solution I am unable to test this since I do not have access to a 64Bit machine. All the best Ric :angry:

New UniTray UniTray has stood the test of time however one feature it lacks is UTF-8 support. Although there are alternatives none really match Uniform Server’s requirements. A new release of WinBinder supporting UTF-8 has provided an opportunity to replace UniTray. Long-term intention is to replace UniTray; a WinBinder version looks viable however before that’s possible there are a number of issues to resolve. Best vehicle for testing is a throw away plugin. This allows it to be run side-by-side with original Unitray, plugin is easy to remove just delete new plugin folder. Objective is to offer a tray menu that is flexibly and can be tailored to meet specific user requirements. To this end a series of tutorials is provided on the Wiki. PHP WinBinder 4 Introduces basic menu design concepts Wiki tutorial Support material download US Tray Menu Plugin Covers modifications to generic tray-menu providing a working plugin Wiki tutorial Plugin download Plugin supports UTF-8 and has similar functionality to original UniTray. Follow-up Follow-up tutorial and plugin converts what is essentially a static menu into a dynamic one. This will provide real time user feedback. Regards, The Uniform Server Development Team :angry:
