You can use command-line parameters for example: UniController.exe start_both UniController.exe stop_both For details see reference manual page: UniServerZ/docs/manual/command_line_parameters.html All the best Ric

Your solution is ok and since Apache does not complain about any other missing dll’s there is nothing else to do. Apache searches the system path for dlls and could not find libintl.dll however placing it in UniServerZ\core\apache2\bin, which is on the path the dll, is found. Just wondering if you are using a portable version of Postgresql this would explain why Apache couldn’t find the dll. Anyway glad you have a solution All the best Ric

Uniform Server does not directly support PostgreSQL only MySQL or MariaDB. This extension php_pdo_pgsql.dll is for PostgreSQL and should not be enabled. Note: The missing dll is part of the PostgreSQL installation. All the best Ric

The following is a quick and dirty way to upgrade. It will give you a working MySQL server: Uniserver 8.8.1 upgrade MySQL from 5.5.30 to 5.6.14 A) Download ZeroXI_mysql_5_6_14.exe and save to folder some_temp Double click ZeroXI_mysql_5_6_14.exe to extract files C) Navigate to folder some_temp\core\mysql create two copies of file my.ini Rename these copies to small_my.ini and medium_my.ini D) Navigate to folder some_temp\core\mysql\bin rename file mysqld_z.exe to mysqld1.exe E) Uniserver 8.8.1 Delete folder C:\UniServer\usr\local\mysql F) Copy folder some_temp\core\mysql to folder C:\UniServer\usr\local You will need to make additional changes to the configuration file as appropriate for your requirements. Ideally use the new Uniform Server Series ZeroXI because other versions are no longer supported. All the best Ric

With the current versions of US there is no easy way to open a portable browser. Running a portable browser requires tighter integration and significant changes to the controller. That said the above has been addressed in the upcoming new release of US. In addition the new release addresses the issue off full portability. This is currently not possible because of the reliance on using a host PC’s hosts file to resolve domain addresses when using Apache’s Vhost. All the best Ric

I do not think it’s a problem with phpMyAdmin to confirm this type the following into your browser. http://localhost/us_phpmyadmin/index.php Do you have the same issue with buttons View www or Vew phpInfo?

An interesting post, when creating a virtual host an entry is written to the hosts file requiring administrator privileges. This is the only situation where elevated privileges are required. I do not have access to Windows 8 therefore would you download Zero_Controller_10_1_1.exe extract it and perform the following test: 1) Run UniController. 2) Click yes when prompted to run as administrator. 3) Select: General > Edit Windows Host file 4) This opens the “UniServer host file editor” 5) Click in the “Host name” window 6) This will highlight the Add button click this button. 7) Confirm an entry is made to the host file (Entry appears in the right window) 8) In this window click the host name “example.com” and click Delete button. 9) Confirm the entry is removed. 10) In “Host name” window enter fred.com and click Add button 11) Close “UniServer host file editor”and UniController. Final test: In folder UniServerZ create a new text file test.bat with the following content: UniController.exe 12) Double click on file test.bat. 13) This will run UniController 14) Click yes when prompted to run as administrator. 15) Select: General > Edit Windows Host file 16) Confirm fred.com is displayed in right window. 17) Highlight fred.com and click “Delete” button 18) Close “UniServer host file editor”and UniController. Can you confirm 7), 9) and 16) I need the results to decide what solution to implement. The above test is open to anyone wishing to run on W7 and W8 All the best Ric
