Hi, thanks in advance for helping an idiot.

 

So, I have successfully installed Uniform Server and when I start the server I get the nice Uniform Server logo up and then get redirected to a blank apanel page.

 

Is it because during installation it setup udrive instead of wdrive? I am running Vista.

 

I am trying all kinds of variants including getting my site into www folder, but never can get beyond the blank apanel page

 

Please help!

When you say a blank admin panel what do you mean?

Can you attach a screenshot?

What URL is displayed in the address bar?

Also, the drive letter should not matter as long as UniServer creates a drive.

Have a look under the u drive and make sure that everything is there, ie. cgi-bin, docs, etc, home, htpasswd, plugins, tmp, usr, & www.

 

To access your site, copy the site to www under udrive. Then in IE or FireFox type http://localhost/ or Http://localhost/site/ if you dreate a folder under www.

Go to http://localhost, what do you see?

 

Go to My Computer, Do you see W:/ drive?

Had the same problem.

An easy solution was found - turn off Skype.

Do not know why but it grabs port 80.

 

PS anybody knows how to turn off the browser starting after the launching of the server?

To prevent the browser starting after the launching the servers:

 

Open Server_Start.bat and locate the line:

start %apanel%\redirect.html

and change it to this:

:: start %apanel%\redirect.html

 

The :: comments out the line preventing it running.

 

Note: If you need to run apanel type http://localhost/apanel/ into your browser.

 

As for skype!

All the best
