There is a great tutorial on using Uniform Server on a removable USB drive in the UniCenter http://center.uniformserver.com/virtual_ho...host_pac_4.html This is great -- I setup a Subversion repository on my office harddrive and checkout to my USB memory stick. Now I have my full development environment wherever I go. I wanted to add an extra tip on top of the UniCenter tutorial. The tutorial shows you how to setup a proxy file so you can have name based virtual hosts without modifying the current computer's HOST file. The examples in the tutorial require you to modify your proxy file (*.pac) to add a line for every new virtual host. In addition, the examples use wildcard matching, so if you name your local site "example" and the real site is "example.com" the browser might not let you load both. I made a simple proxy file that solves both these issues function FindProxyForURL(url, host) { if(isPlainHostName(host)) return "PROXY 127.0.0.1"; return "DIRECT"; } The isPlainHostName looks for hosts that have a dot. So, I always name my local version of a website as a single word; e.g, site1 is site1.com site2 is site2.com

Good call! I had LIBMYSQL.DLL in my C:/Windows folder. Thank you!

I've been using Inform Server 3_2 without problems and though I would upgrade. When I click Server_Start.bat for 3.3 on my XP box, I get a series of popup error windows: According to phpinfo(), PHP does seem to have started well. I can click the run MySQL and it seems to get going ok. When I try to fire up phpMyAdmin, I get an error window cannot load mysql extension; please check PHP configuration Documentation So, it seems like I have some problem with the php/mysql connection, but I do not know how to fix it.
