Closed 5.4-Nano released All the best Ric

It really is difficult to pin point what the Issue is. I currently see two threads with a similar problem. Majority of users do not have a problem however that is no excuse for not addressing a specific issue. If you will bear with me I will add some additional diagnostics to 5.4, which I hope will pin point the cause. We are currently testing PHP 5.3.1 hence little time to answer posts. All the best Ric

Real issue there is not a compatible version of Zend Optimizer for PHP 5.3.0 Hence on the Wiki http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/5....o:_Introduction under plugins you will have noticed, “to be released” Additional information may be found here: http://forums.zend.com/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=1365 All the best Ric

OK You have two options: Add the following line to file: UniServer\udrive\www\.htaccess AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm Alternatively edit this file: UniServer\udrive\usr\local\apache2\conf\httpd.conf Locate this line: AddType application/x-httpd-php .phtml .php3 .php Change to AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm .phtml .php3 .php All the best Ric

Oops! I think I asked a silly question This page lists stables releases of 4-Series http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/4....Server_releases Are you using one of these? Could you post some simple code that fails just makes it easier to isolate the problem All the best Ric

Hi Kalpz, I have heard of nginx and it is an excellent alternative to Apache. “I wonder if Uniform Server could integrate this?” It is possible to integrate this into Uniform Server’s architecture however in reality it would become a new project. An alternative is to offer it as a plugin, unfortunately it’s not a one-to-one replacement and would require significant changes hence not a viable alternative. Currently it is predominantly UNIX platform orientated although there are Windows binaries support for Windows is small. The last time I look at this the only way to run PHP was to use php-cgi. “I have not looked into this deeply myself yet, will probably require a bit research.” Yes! I tend to agree would require a great deal of research and testing. However that is no excuse, if you want to use it just be prepared to spend that time. Although I only tested an old version it felt very stable. All the best Ric

Which version of Uniform Server did you perform the upgrade on? All the best Ric

Port detection uses the following command: netstat -anp tcp C:\ >netstat -anp tcp Active Connections Proto Local Address Foreign Address State TCP 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING TCP 0.0.0.0:135 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING TCP 0.0.0.0:445 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING TCP 0.0.0.0:3306 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING TCP 127.0.0.1:1026 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING Apache server will not run if Local Address is active for example “:80” This page is worth a visit: http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/5....o:_Known_Issues All the best Ric

Interestingly I am working with Andrey to resolve an identical issue. Originally I thought the problem was unique and specific to Andrey’s PC however the above image matches one I received from Andrey. There are two problem areas. It looks like Xampp has not been completely removed. Check in services for any running Apache or MySQL services and uninstall them. Restart your PC and check there are no running Apache or MySQL services and or processes. Extract a new copy of Uniform Server, navigate to folder UniServer\alternative_control Use Start_Server.bat to start the servers and note any errors. Use Stop_Server.bat to stop servers again note any errors. Above should run the servers as a standard program. Please post back and we will look at the second problem area. All the best Ric

“I notice when I go to the Server Status page that there is an IP address that appears when I run at home and not one when I run from college.” Your college local area network is not accessible from the Internet hence no IP displayed. However your home network is hence an IP address displayed. If your servers are online any user on the Internet can access your server using that IP address. “The redirect.html page 'purple screen' appears and then when the redirect happens i get a 'page not found' “ I assume after running “Server Status page” it displays servers are running? With servers running try typing http://127.0.0.1/ or http://127.0.0.1/apanel/ into your browser. Are the appropriate pages displayed? If pages are displayed check the following file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts This should contain the following line if not add it: 127.0.0.1 localhost If you have a line similar to this comment it out ::1 localhost for example add hash as shown # ::1 localhost If it still fails check Apache’s log file: UniServer\usr\local\apache2\logs\error.log All the best Ric

Ok “WONT WORK” is not a good starting point, lacks diagnostic information. US 5.3 contains several diagnostic elements perform the following: 1] Run UniServer\Start.exe – Do you get a path error pop-up? 2] Run UniServer\unicon\main\server_status.bat – Are the ports free to use? 3] If yes, run UniServer\alternative_control\Start_Server.bat – What errors are reported? Hopefully the above will provide information where the problem area is. All the best Ric

Individual language packs have been published on SF in folder Plugins/Uniform Server 5-Nano Plugins. The German pack requires further work. If someone would take this up it would be most appreciated. Apanel and UniTray have been translated hence usable. Beta 3 (due this weekend) will no longer contain test language packs. Currently there is a known issue running AWStats plugin this has been resolved and incorporated in beta 3 along with minor Apanel changes. All the best Ric

Hi Danny, Just like to say what an ace post. It brings the topic to a logical conclusion. All the best Ric

Apology more than accepted you have gained my respect for doing so. I fully understand the frustration regarding disk crashes. Recently had a power outage, which along the way took a few files out. This resulted in a continuous reboot sequence. Repaired most of the files however that left Zone alarm moaning about “missing a necessary root certificate” Persuaded IE to reload this, not an obvious solution however worked. Ya! Computers are frustrating. “Btw: it is always a little discouraging to support/code for a community which does not see the need of feedback.” Again I understand, have a similar issue with open betas. I tend not to worry about it and plough on regardless. Lack of feedback does not mean its no being used, your users probably like and are using your alternative. All the best Ric

Beta 1 tests closed. All the best Ric

Hi Danny, Apache's configuration file (UniServer\usr\local\apache2\conf\httpd.conf) contains this section: # Mod_Dav Module Settings #<IfModule mod_dav.c> #LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so # DavLockDB C:/Nano_5_3/UniServer/tmp/DavLock #<Directory "C:/Nano_5_3/UniServer/www/"> # AuthName "The Uniform Server" # AuthUserFile C:/Nano_5_3/UniServer/htpasswd/home/admin/www/.htpasswd # AuthType Basic # AllowOverride None # Dav On # Require valid-user #</Directory> #</IfModule> # End Mod_Dav Settings Enabling this block will give you a full WebDAV server! This is overkill for your calendar. You can use a single folder hence the above requires a few modifications. First decide on a folder name to house your calendar for example “calendar” Create this folder in the web root folder UniServer\www Next create a file containing a user name and password this user is allowed to update your calendar. Uniform Server groups all name/password files in folder “htpasswd” 1] Create a new folder UniServer\htpasswd\www\calendar 2] Copy one of the files .htpasswd to the above folder. 3] Edit this copied file and change the name and password (default is root:root) You need to inform Apache where to find the calendar folder and the password file. The above will look like this: # Mod_Dav Module Settings <IfModule mod_dav.c> LoadModule dav_fs_module modules/mod_dav_fs.so DavLockDB C:/Nano_5_3/UniServer/tmp/DavLock <Directory "C:/Nano_5_3/UniServer/www/calendar/"> AuthName "The Uniform Server" AuthUserFile C:/Nano_5_3/UniServer/htpasswd/www/calendar/.htpasswd AuthType Basic AllowOverride None Dav On <LimitExcept OPTIONS> Require user username </LimitExcept> </Directory> </IfModule> # End Mod_Dav Settings I have added a “LimitExcept” block, as it stands will prompt for a username/password every time a read or save file is made using WebDAV. You probably do not want that for your users hence change the block as shown below: <LimitExcept GET OPTIONS> Require user username </LimitExcept> Any user can read the calendar and won’t be asked for a password. Save file and run “Apache Syntax check” No errors reported, you can restart Apache Testing: Copy an existing calendar into the calendar folder and check your client can read it. Use your client to update the calendar. I have not used these tool hence no details. Hope the above is of some help; at least it will get you started. All the best Ric
