Hi Ollie222 From your post it looks as if both Apache and MySQL are running fine. Can you try the following: Close servers From UniTray: A] Advanced > Click on “php.ini switch to Development” B] Start servers C] Click “Admin Panel” – can you confirm this opens Admin in a browser? D] Click “phpMyAdmin” – are any error messages displayed? E] Server Information and logs > Click on “Apache error log” – are there any errors in the log It may be a case sensitive issue Can you type (copy) these addresses directly into a browser? http://localhost/apanel/phpmyadmin/ http://localhost/apanel/phpMyAdmin/ What is displayed. All the best Ric

Thanks for the feedback I found your comments most interesting. Have you had chance to perform any tests on v4 beta2 release? It was a significant change, all components are now up-to-date. Configuration files were tweaked to match hence the beta. All the best Ric

UniServer 5.4.1-Nano Beta 2 After publishing rechecked current release status of all components only to find phpMyAdmin had been updated. There is no point in testing something that will not be released hence beta 2 Please remember this is an open beta all feedback welcome. Changes: phpMyAdmin updated to 3.2.4; Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/miniserver...a2.exe/download All the best Ric

UniServer 4.5-Mona Beta 2 After publishing rechecked current release status of all components only to find phpMyAdmin had been updated. There is no point in testing something that will not be released hence beta 2 Please remember this is an open beta all feedback welcome. Changes: phpMyAdmin updated to 3.2.4; Download: http://sourceforge.net/projects/miniserver...a2.exe/download All the best Ric

In all honesty there is no point in upgrading a specific element! Hence I have updated to all new components. See announcement Ya! You do need to do some testing, it is a beta. All the best Ric

UniServer 4.5-Mona Beta Changes - Apache updated to 2.2.14; - MySQL updated to 5.1.41; - phpMyAdmin updated to 2.2.3; - PHP updated to 5.3.1; - eAccelerator updated to 0.9.6-rc1 - Openssl updated to 0.9.8L Please report any problems. Download: Regards, The Uniform Server Development Team

Please try UniServer 5.4.1-Nano Beta this includes several bug fixes. More importantly configurations of phpMyAdmin and MySQL has been regressed. All the best Ric

Just wondering are there any particular issues you currently have with 5-Nano? “Is there any hope to have version 4 of uniserver updated to feature PHP5?” There is always hope! I will take a look and may be publish a beta by the weekend. All the best Ric

Try a clean install of Uniform Server 5.3-Nano that currently has no issues on Vista or W7 Alternatively you can try the new beta 5.4.1-Nano All the best Ric

UniServer 5.4.1-Nano Beta Changes - Updated eAccelerator 0.9.6-rc1 + Control panel - Updated OpenSSL to 0.9.8L - Updated msmtp to 1.4.19 - Bug fix MySQL multi-server port - UniTray bug fixes - Minor bug fixes; If you have experienced problems running phpMyAdmin on Vista or Windows 7 the changes will have resolved this issue. Please confirm this has been resolved or report any problems. Please note language translation packs will not work on this beta release. Download: Regards, The Uniform Server Development Team

This is a known bug in US54 solution edit file UniServer\home\admin\www\mqsetup.php Locate line: $filename=$usf_my_cnf; Change to: $filename=$usf_my_ini; Note: If you have not changed the MySQL port above bug is minor. The MySQL port is read from configuration file my.cnf since this file does not exist the default port is used. With the above modification, file my.ini is correctly read. To change password: UniTray > Start UniServer UniTray > Admin Panel Admin left menu click link “MySQL Server Configuration” Current MySQL Password displayed, change to new password Click “Change” button That’s it no need to restart servers. Note: Security Center will display secure for MySQL Server This Wiki page is worth a read: http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/5....#MySQL_Password All the best Ric

Hi Cougar To save a bit of typing I would recommend adding this batch file to folder UniServer: Create a text fie named Start_Console.bat with the following content: cd usr\local\mysql\bin start "UNIFORM SERVER MySQL Command prompt" cmd.exe /k "COLOR B0" Start the servers and then run the above batch file. It opens a command widow allowing you to run a MySQL prompt. To log into MySQL from a command line type the following mysql –uroot –proot -u stands for user name. Uniform Servers default is root -p stands for password. Uniform Servers default is root To exit the mysql prompt type exit Note: After experimenting if you think the MySQL password has become broken use the MySQL password restore. Click on UniTrary > Advanced > click MySQL password restore This restores defaults, name=root and password=root This page is a little dated however it may be worth a read: http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/MySQL_Console If you want to start a command prompt at same time as the servers check out this page: http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/5.0-Nano:_Control All the best Ric

Hi Kris, Well my open thoughts: You have performed tests with no deviation and no changes to the configuration files. Thanks for that because it remains in a known state. Tests were designed to check US’s control architecture in the background and this looks fine. Servers were directly run, bypassing control architecture. Apache appears to have no issues. However MySQL server appears to be an anomaly! Interestingly you removed any issues: Well this post “Today, 02:23 PM” confirms MySQL server is accessible using a command line. However this is in conflict with the above results “27] Error” indicates it’s not accessible via PHP (hence this would be a reason to suggest a phpMyAdmin issue!) I have a problem it could be MySQL, PHP or a new OS Windows 7. Something is fundamentally wrong just cant put me finger on it, would this be a 32bit vs 64 bit issue. In theory 32 will run on 64 with memory limitations. Anyway, all the components are 32bit Kris are you running this on a 64bit machine. I am now thinking of boundary conditions. All the best Ric

Hi Kris, I think you should have a working server. Restart your PC Extract a new copy of US 5.4 to a new folder Run UniTray and check out phpMyAdmin All the best Ric

Edit: Oops missed your last two posts. Hence this test is not required. You should have a working server? Hi Kris, That last result is puzzling the error means the server is not running! However its clearly there in the services. Also from a previous test it grabs port 3306. What I would like to test next is the ability to connect using PHP 24] Create a new file mysql_connect.php in folder C:\US_test1\UniServer\www with the following content: <p>Test 1</p> <?php $link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', 'root'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } echo 'Connected successfully'; mysql_close($link); ?> <p>Test 2</p> <?php $link = mysql_connect('localhost:3306', 'root', 'root'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } echo 'Connected successfully'; mysql_close($link); ?> <p>Test 3</p> <?php $link = mysql_connect('127.0.0.1', 'root', 'root'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } echo 'Connected successfully'; mysql_close($link); ?> <p>Test 4</p> <?php $link = mysql_connect('127.0.0.1:3306', 'root', 'root'); if (!$link) { die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error()); } echo 'Connected successfully'; mysql_close($link); ?> 25] Run test1.bat (double click on it) Allow any challenges from firewall etc . (do not close window) 26] Run test2.bat (double click on it) Allow any challenges from firewall etc . (do not close window) 27] In a browser type: http://localhost/mysql_connect.php Expected result: 29] Confirm there is an entry (mysqld-opt.exe) in services? 28] Run Kill_mysql.bat and close command windows (click cross top right) leave it like that for another test. 30] Confirm the entry (mysqld-opt.exe) is removed ? Can you confirm the result for 27, 29 and 30 or any errors? What’s in file C:\US_test1\UniServer\usr\local\mysql\data\mysql.err All the best Ric

Hi Kris, Interesting results. It looks as if the MySQL server is running I would like to check if you can connect to it. 18] Create a new file mysql_connect.bat in folder C:\US_test1\UniServer with the following content: cd usr\local\mysql\bin mysql -uroot -proot pause 19] Run test2.bat (double click on it) Allow any challenges from firewall etc . (do not close window) 20] Run mysql_connect.bat (double click on it) Allow any challenges from firewall etc . (do not close window) 21] At the prompt type: show databases; 22] At the prompt type: exit Expected results: 23] Run Kill_mysql.bat and close command windows (click cross top right) leave it like that for another test. Can you confirm the above result? All the best Ric

Hi Kris, Thanks for performing the tests. a] Left image confirms there is no issue with running Apache as a standard program on Windows 7. In addition it confirms the control architecture has rewritten paths correctly. b] Right image correctly displays no phpMyAdmin. This link is displayed only when the MySQL server is running. MySQL – Test 8] Create a new file test2.bat in folder C:\US_test1\UniServer with the following content: pushd %~dp0 :usr\local\php\php.exe -c usr/local/php/php-cli.ini unicon/main/server_status.php usr\local\mysql\bin\mysqld-opt.exe pause popd 9] Create a new file Kill_mysql.bat in folder C:\US_test1\UniServer with the following content: unicon\program\pskill.exe mysqld-opt.exe c 10] Run test2.bat (double click on it) Allow any challenges from firewall etc Expected result: Ignore the warning. You should see a flashing cursor indicating MySQL server is running. (do not close window) 11] Run Kill_mysql.bat (double click on it) Expected result: The flashing cursor in 10] Changes as shown below C:\US_test1\UniServer>pushd C:\US_test1\UniServer\ Press any key to close the window. Can you confirm 10 and 11 Or any error messages Combined – Test Lets assume you have confirmed 10 and 11 Run the following in the order shown: 12] Run test2.bat (double click on it) Allow any challenges from firewall etc . (do not close window) 13] Run test1.bat (double click on it) Allow any challenges from firewall etc . (do not close window) Expected result: 14] Into a browser type: http://localhost/ - You should see the US opening page 15] Now type into browser: http://localhost/apanel/ - You should see the admin page 16] The phpMyAdmin should be visible (Confirms MySQL is running) 17] Click phpMyAdmin menu link, phpMyAdmin should be displayed Can you confirm 10 and 11 Or any error messages Can you confirm 16 and 17 Or any error messages 18] Run Kill_mysql.bat and close command windows (click cross top right) leave it like that for another test.

Hi Bob, Thanks for the PM Hope you know what you have talked yourself into. Honestly your effort and time will be most appreciated. Ya! That’s how I started! Stuck me nose in. All the best Ric P.S Bob is going to proofread the Wiki and make it intelligible so expect a few changes.

Hi Kris, Thanks for the post and information. At the moment I do not appreciate or understand the failure mode. I would like to proceed with a few tests to eliminate certain areas. 1] Create a new folder c:\US_test1 2] Extract a new version of 5.4 to it 3] Inside folder C:\US_test1\UniServer, create this batch file test1.bat with the following content: pushd %~dp0 usr\local\php\php.exe -c usr/local/php/php-cli.ini unicon/main/server_status.php usr\local\apache2\bin\Apache.exe -f conf/httpd.conf -d usr/local/apache2 pause popd 4] Run test1.bat (double click on it) Allow any challenges from firewall etc Expected result: 4] Do not close the window 5] Into a browser type: http://localhost/ - You should see the US opening page 6] Now type into browser: http://localhost/apanel/ - You should see the admin page Can you confirm 5 and 6 Or any error messages 7] Close the window (click cross top right) leave it like that for another test. All the best Ric

Run the tests in folder UniServer\a_diagnostic These will provide additional information. “(OS 5) Access is denied: Failed to open the WinNT service manager.” The above error probably means you are not logged in as Administrator. If you are try disabling UAC (User Account Control) Is this just a service issue can you run the servers as a standard program (UniTray left menu)? All the best Ric

Try the following: Edit file: UniServer\usr\local\apache2\conf\httpd.conf Comment line as shown #AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 Edit file: UniServer\usr\local\php\php.ini Comment line as shown ;default_charset = UTF-8 It will not force a UTF-8 header a browser then needs to use the meta tag.

Generally most users do not have a problem. The forum is biased to users that due. Anyway with the release of 5.4 it contains a folder named UniServer\a_diagnostic Check out the file Read_me_first.txt follow the instructions it may help. Hopefully your feedback will provide the team with a place to start with diagnosing this issue. All the best Ric.
