This page on the Wiki is also worth a visit Quick PHP Info All the best Ric

Oops! I must apologise, should have removed the Wiki pages and UniCenter references. Anyway I mentioned on the Wiki the development team have been devoting one hundred percent of their time to V4, official name 4.0-Mona this will be going to beta this weekend. It currently looks very stable, depending on what the beta team find will determine the number of iterations required, and hence a release date is undefined. Olajide is busy co-ordinating the beta team for my sins I will have to cleanup UniCenter and the Wiki. 4.0-Mona is just around the corner and well worth the wait, its neat compact with some new interesting features. All the best Ric

Thanks for the information. There is a newer version of SlimFTPd (V3.181) Take a look at this Wiki page And this page is worth a visit FileZilla Server also on the Wiki All the best Ric

MySQL upgraded to 5.1.30 check Wiki for details. Merry Christmas Ric

Thanks for the feedback; I have updated the Wiki quick-guide to reflect this issue. Although the “hosts” file is little used by the average user these days it still remains extremely powerful. All browsers check this file first before making an external request to resolve a name to an IP address. Using the “hosts” file you can point any name to any IP address, hence ideal for a small Intranet. All the best Ric

Well that really is a pain one consolation you know the server works and you can access Apanel using: http://127.0.0.1/apanel/ In addition http://127.0.01/ allows you to access your web site in folder www Note: Both http://127.0.0.1/apanel/ and http://127.0.01/ are valid IP addresses hence will not effect anything you can use these. The whole point of using the “hosts” file is to resolve a name to an IP address e.g localhost resolves to 127.0.0.1 If you had placed this in your “hosts” file 127.0.0.1 www.fred.com Typing www.fred.com into your browser will resolve to 127.0.0.1 Now http://localhost/apanel does not work while http://127.0.0.1/apanel/ does (this second address you have effectively manually resolved hence the “hosts” file is not used). This suggests there is other entries in the host file that may be in conflict or the changes you made were not written to the “hosts” file. There may be entries relating to IPv6 they look similar to this: :. localhost or :. 127.0.0.1 If you have these lines comment them out by adding a # (hash) at the beginning of each line for example: # :. localhost or # :. 127.0.0.1 The "hosts" file should contain only these lines for IP 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost:80 If that fails to resolve the problem there is one more thing to try: Since you are running ESET (anti virus/firewall) this may be the problem area! 1) From ESET open Control Centre 2) Go to the Setup tab and click “Enter entire advanced setup tree” 3) Click “Web access protection” 4) Uncheck the checkbox labelled “Enable web access protection” Check their Web site and forum to see if this is a known issue. I have assumed you are not running more than one anti-virus and firewall because running two in parallel can cause conflicts. Hope the above provides some pointers. All the best Ric

I think the answer is in this line: You need to add a line in your hosts file: 1) Browse to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories 2) Right click "Notepad" and select "Run as administrator" 3) Click "Continue" on the UAC prompt 4) Click File -> Open 5) Browse to "C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc" 6) Change the file filter drop down box from "Text Documents (*.txt)" to "All Files (*.*)" 7) Select "hosts" and click "Open" 8) Add the following lines: 127.0.0.1 localhost 127.0.0.1 localhost:80 9) Close Notepad, when prompted click save. Note: The first line is required while the second line prevents an error message being displayed in the Vhost section of Apanel. To access Apanel type the following into your browser: http://localhost/apanel or http://localhost/a All the best Ric

Your log file confirms Apache is running and appears to have no problems. This line points to the real problem: 'The network link was interrupted while negotiating a connection. Please try again.' I have never experienced this type of problem however it is not uncommon. I performed a quick search but could not find a definitive solution. These links may be of use: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Error_loading_any_website http://www.techsupportforum.com/alternativ...nterrupted.html Check you get the same issue using IE if you do the chances are it’s not a browser problem. The problem may be either a firewall or anti-virus program issue. A quick check is to temporally disable them (make sure your PC is not connected to the Internet). Trouble is these programs may not be fully disabled hence cannot be fully ruled out unless they are completely removed. Its difficult to be specific the nature of the problem means it’s a process of elimination until you find the route cause. All the best Ric

I was just wondering if this post would help: http://forum.uniformserver.com/index.php?showtopic=1558 Implement the change it may resolve the issue. If it does not check Apache’s error.log file located in folder: \Uniform Server\udrive\usr\local\apache2\logs It may shed some light on the problem. All the best Ric

The release you are referring to is an unofficial upgrade to 3.5-Apollo. It was removed from the announcements section because this is reserved for official releases only. There are two upgrades downloadable from the Wiki. These are now in their third incarnation; new core components have been released in quick succession and the current upgrade looks like this: Apache 2.2.11 MySQL 5.0.67-community-nt PHP 5.2.8 phpMyBackupPro v.2.1 phpMyAdmin 3.0.1.1 ActivePerl 5,10,0,1003 eAccelerator 0.9.5.3 SSL pre-installed (ssl_098i) Check out the Wiki for additional support information.

Please note new version published on SourceForge mini_server_21_xoops_v1_1.exe mini_server_21_xoops_v1_1.zip Taken the opportunity to upgrade Xoops to 2.3.2b mainfile.php: Modified to use relative paths All the best Ric

Interesting! There is a link back to the main Uniform Server site. I agree, would be a good idea to have a link to the forum and also the Wiki. Over to you Olajide, what do you think? All the best Ric

What MiniServer are you using? All the best Ric

I have checked mini_server_21_xoops.exe there is a bug those hard coded paths should be relative. Check out this page for a solution: http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/In...ops#Portability Note: When it refers to W replace with Z. Hence you need to replace every occurrence of drive letter “Z” with the variable $_ENV['Disk'] as show in the Portability section. All the best Ric.

Please note, check the Wiki for details regarding 3.6 it’s an unofficial upgrade of 3.5 Consolidates bug fixes, in addition will save you the trouble of upgrading Apache, MySQL and other components separately (ref mini-servers). Contains a little bit of extra functionality in that it integrates SSL, this you may find useful if you require a personal secure server. All the best Ric

Hi REFFER, I think the community can rightly place the blame at your doorstep for 3.6 Its just been published, hope it meets your requirements. All the best Ric

I was never happy with the final outcome on this. However with 3.6 running as a service you will find MySQLAdministrator works fine. MySQLAdministrator really is excellent piece of kit. All the best Ric

Edit the following file: uniform_server\udrive\home\admin\www\includes\config.inc.php Either remove or comment out this line as shown its erroneous code: //$hname = gethostbyaddr($REMOTE_ADDR); //Not being used nowssssss All the best Ric

Excellent, glad you have it working Would have pointed you to the quick-guides: http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/New_Users:_Home http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/Ne..._Quick_Perl_CGI All the best Ric

This page will get you started http://wiki.uniformserver.com/index.php/Ho...ngle_Page_Guide All the best Ric

Yep! I have one idea, what virus checker do you use? Seriously it could be a whole host of things. Total number of programs that are running, either visible or services hidden in the background. They all impede on available resources such as memory and the need to pop stuff on and off disk. There are a number of virus scanners that are resource hungry including some software firewalls. Lets put it another way, after a disk crash I never restored Norton or MS firewall an interesting increase in speed was observed. All the best Ric PS I am not knocking either but I believe they have both lost their way in terms of efficient and minimal software (Just never understood the bloat and the need to eat resources).
