TeddyTech Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 First, I am not new to Uniform Server. I found it in 2009 and have been running ever since then for my Dokuwiki wiki.However, the time has come to upgrade and I am trying to install Coral 8.8.2 on a Windows 2003 Server platform.I upgraded the primary wiki server and everything there is fine. I copied it to the backup server (an almost identical server) and cannot get Apache to start. The prior version ran fine.I tried lots of things and was still unsuccessful at getting Apache started. So, I cleaned the slate and started with a completely fresh install on another very similar server that has never run Uniform Server. I downloaded the Coral_8_8_2.exe file and ran it. I then immediately ran C:\UniServer\Start_as_program.exe (without making *any* changes).I selected "Apache Syntax Check" and received this message (I receive the same message when I try to start Apache as a server or a program): httpd1.exe: Syntax error on line 64 of C:/UniServer/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf: Cannot load C:/UniServer/usr/local/php/ssleay32.dll into server: This application has failed to start because the application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.I tried commenting out that line and it just failed on the next. I have been searching everywhere for a hint at what might be causing this problem and have found nothing.Any suggestions?Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeddyTech Posted April 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Looks like I missed a step in the install of this new release. My other systems must have already had the Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package installed. After installing that the startup went fine. (Tough to figure that out from the problems I encountered though so maybe this will help someone in the future.)Bye! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobS Posted April 30, 2013 Report Share Posted April 30, 2013 Glad to see that you found the fix. When a software package works properly on one system and not on another, it's most likely due to a "helper" package, like these redistributable libraries.However, finding and fixing the situation can be very tricky.
