How do you start UniController? The above may seem a strange question! I have seen people drag UniController.exe onto the desktop and run it from their, resulting in the above fail message. By dragging on Win 8.1 you are moving the actual file. In this case you need to right click on the file and create a short cut, then drag this file to the desktop. All the best Ric

"Now since my url already has a port 81 redirect silently added by noip I believe this causes the dns to see this as www.my-domain.com:81:81" The above would be a logical conclusion however when you changed Basic Apache Config (server name and listen port) I assume you allowed EditHost to update your hosts file. This inserts a entry into the Hosts file "127.0.0.1 your_domain_name". When you enter your_domain_name (no port) into your browser the domain is resolved locally, port 80 is assumed and fails. However if you add port 81 the domain is again resolved locally and the page correctly displayed. I assume the above is the problem you are seeing. To force external domain resolution proceed as follows, from UniController click the "Extra tab" and click "Edit Win hosts file". In the pop-up click "yes" allow changes to this computer. A new form is displayed, click on your domain name in the right window and click delete. Now when you type your domain into the browser it is no longer resolved locally instead it is resolved by noip which adds port 81. All the best Ric

I do not fully understand the problem. Please explain more and state the server version. Perhaps the following links may be of use: command_line_parameters PC-Win start-up Run as a service All the best Ric

Uniform Server Coral series is no longer supported it was replaced with the ZeroXI series. "wanting to use Start_as_program." A default installation of ZeroXI is to run as a standard program. "so where is it getting this version" A downloaded preconfigured server has its version number hard coded. The latest release (current) version number is obtained directly from uniformserver.com website. All the best Ric

I have published the new controller module ZeroXI_controller_1_1_9.exe To update an existing installation proceed as follows: 1. Create a temporary folder for example temp2 2. Download module ZeroXI_controller_1_1_9.exe and save to folder temp2 3. Double click ZeroXI_controller_1_1_9.exe extracts folders and files. 4. Replace existing UniController.exe with file temp2\UniServerZ\UniController.exe 5. Replace existing us_clean_up.ini with file temp2\UniServerZ\home\us_config\ us_clean_up.ini I have also updated the online documentation and published new documentation module ZeroXI_documentation_1_1_5.exe All the best Ric

The following Uniform Server ZeroXI modules have been published: UniController 1.1.9 - Udated ZeroXI_controller_1_1_8.exe to ZeroXI_controller_1_1_9.exe Documentation 1.1.5 - Updated ZeroXI_documentation_1_1_4.exe to ZeroXI_documentation_1_1_5.exe Controller update fixes a minor bug. If you do not modify configuration file C:\UniServerZ\home\us_config\us_clean_up.ini there is no need to apply this update, you can safely wait for a new release of The Uniform Server (11_5_2_ZeroXI). However if you wish to update current version (11_5_1_ZeroXI) of The Uniform Server proceed as follows: 1. Create a temporary folder for example temp2 2. Download module ZeroXI_controller_1_1_9.exe and save to folder temp2 3. Double click ZeroXI_controller_1_1_9.exe extracts folders and files. 4. Replace existing UniController.exe with file temp2\UniServerZ\UniController.exe 5. Replace existing us_clean_up.ini with file temp2\UniServerZ\home\us_config\ us_clean_up.ini Regards, The Uniform Server Development Team

Short answer, no its not possible with current implementation. It would appear this menu option is rarely configured otherwise someone would have reported a bug! The bug I found, adding another folder to section [FOLDERS] produces "List index (2) out of bounds" I will fix the above bug and take the opportunity to add a new section in configuration file us_clean_up.ini to meet your requirements. If I have time will publish a new controller within the next two days. All the best Ric

The above is possible however its lacking in detail. How do you see this working? What about PHP switching how will it interface (where to place folder containing the addition ini files) An interim solution is to start UniController.exe with a batch files and set the environment variable accordingly. The following example is portable and would be specific to the selected PHP version: 1 Create a new folder for example user_php_inis in folder UniServerZ containing all additional ini files. 2 In folder UniServerZ create the following batch file ini_run.bat @echo off pushd %~dp0 set PHP_INI_SCAN_DIR=%cd%\user_php_inis Start UniController.exe popdRun the above batch file, this sets the environment variable to folder user_php_inis and then runs UniController.exe Note: Additional environment variable support added starting from Uniform Server 11.4.0-ZeroXI All the best Ric

Are you sure this works on Mona? Its a relative path from the current working directory. Absolute baths generally start with forward slash (start search from root folder top-level) I think it should be: require_once("/home/webfolder/public_html/common/scripts/globalscript.php");Anyway back to original question Assuming you are not running servers as a service its very easy to simulate a drive. Create a batch file us_run.bat with the following content: SUBST X: C:\11_3_3_ZeroXI\UniServerZ X: Start UniController.exeReplace X with a drive letter you wish to use e.g D replace C:\11_3_3_ZeroXI\UniServerZ with the full path to folder UniServerZ on your PC. Double click on us_run.bat the above creates a new virtual drive X and runs the servers at the top-level. The above if it works! Is an interim solution. You should never ever use absolute paths more specifically hard code absolute paths. By all means use absolute paths however ensure these are dynamically calculated see PHP manual require_once All the best Ric

You now get a 403 forbidden error however did not state if this is for local or external (Internet) access. I am assuming its for Internet access, edit each .htaccess file in each Vhost root folder as follows: Comment out the lines as shown: #Order Deny,Allow #Deny from all #Allow from 127.0.0.1 #Allow from ::1 This allows access from the Internet. All the best Ric

I assume the two domains you have represent two separate websites. These need to be configured using VHosts. The www folder then becomes redundant more specifically becomes the default site if either the two sites cannot be resolved. Setting up and configuring Vhosts, takes just a few mouse clicks, for details refer to the following documentation section Create Apache Vhost additional information is found on this page Apache Vhosts All the best Ric

The information you require can be found on documentation page Run as a service All the best Ric

Since you have not changed the server configuration and WordPress is self-contained. Transferring WordPress to a new server is straightforward. The following is one method you can use: Create Backups; On the current installation make a backup of each WordPress database. 1 Start UniController and Start MySQL server 2 From the top menu click MySQL tab 3 Click Database backup menu item 4 From list on the left select a WordPress database to back up 5 Click Create backup button 6 Repeat steps 4-5 for other WordPress database 7 Close list, stop MySQL server and close UniController 8 Check you have two backup files in folder UniServerZ\db_backup_restore 9 Rename folder UniServerZ to UniServerZ2 if something goes wrong you can rename this back to the original. Extract new server 1 Extract the latest version of Uniform Server to the same drive as the original. 2 Copy the two backup files in folder UniServerZ2\db_backup_restore to the new Server folder UniServerZ\db_backup_restore 3 Copy the two WordPress folders in folder UniServerZ2\www to the new server folder UniServerZ\www 4 New server: Start UniController and Start MySQL server 5 From the top menu click MySQL tab 6 Click Database restore menu item 7 From the list select a WordPress database to restore 8 Click Restore button 9 Repeat 7-8 for other database Start Apache and check your WordPress Sites work as expected.
