0000162: Apache2 can't start

Hey together,
Since a week I can't start my Apache.
Following error:

0000161: Update Apache2 to 2.2.15

Windows version of XAMPP is currently using a vulnerable version of Apache2 (see bug 0000154 and CVE-2009-3555, CVE-2010-0408, CVE-2010-0425 and CVE-2010-0434).

Is a 1.7.4 version of XAMPP planned?
With such as:
Apache 2.2.15
PHP 5.3.2
MySQL 5.1.48
PHPMyAdmin 3.3.4
APC 3.1.3p1
MemCached 1.2.1.0

etc..

0000110: Apache crashes when using multiple ports in httpd.conf

There is a problem with using multiple ports on xampp v1.0.1 for Mac.
This problem is on both PPC and Intel Macs.

If I edit the httpd.conf-file and a listen-command somewhere, Apache fails to start-up. I had tested this on two systems:
- Mac OS X 10.4.11 PPC G4
- Mac OS X 10.5.5 Intel Core 2 Duo

This is the error-log I got on the PPC G4:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lines 1, 2, 3 and 9 of above (the warnings en notices) are also generated when not using multiple ports.

How to reproduce:
Add the following line in the httpd.conf-file (for example on the bottom of the file):
Listen 3200

Expected result:
Apache should start without problems.

Actual result:
Apache tries to start but fails with a Fatal error.

0000160: PHP ini has arg_separator.output as &

Rather than the default '&', the php.ini that comes with XAMPP has it set to '&'. I assume this is an attempt to create valid XHTML but it ends up breaking applications that are using functions that depend on arg_separator.output but are not XHTML-based. For example, outputting a url in JSON or doing a redirect with a header call where the URL is created dynamically in PHP. Doing a search on "xampp arg_separator.output" will show a few PHP applications that break because of this choice.

0000159: eAccelerator extension functions aren't existence

I've set up
zend_extension = "D:\xampp\php\ext\php_eaccelerator.dll"
in php.ini and restart apache server without problem.

The phpinfo() output contains the "eAccelerator" part, but all the eA functions, such as "eaccelerator_info', aren't available.

====
if (!function_exists('eaccelerator_info')) {
die('eAccelerator isn\'t installed or isn\'t compiled with info support!');
}

// 'die()' statement will be executed.

0000158: Mysql doesnt start install on HFS+ Journaled Case sensitive File system

I remember having run some times ago

- XAMPP 1.7.3
- on my laptop mac book pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.3

now I did a fresh installation of macosx 10.6.3 and reformatted
my hard disk with the *case sensitive* version of the journaled filesystem.

After installing XAMPP I can start apache, but mysql doesnt start,
I tried the actual MACOSX beta but its the same.

I guess the problem comes from the fact that my mac book pro now has
a case sensitive filesystem.

I set this to blocker because I cannot use it :-(

0000150: MySQL status is shown as "DEACTIVATED" after lampp security

OS Ubuntu 9.10
Xampp Rev is actually 1.7.3a
After initial install and start, localhost shows all (except PHP extens) as "Activated"
Following MySQL pswd change via lampp security, localhost shows MySQL database as "Deactivated"
Remove Xampp and reinstall
Change pswds one at a time via lampp security - MySQL database remains "Activated" until MySQL root pswd is changed - then status becomes "Deactivated"
Remove Xampp and reinstall v 1.6.6
All show Activated
Run Lamp security for all pswds
All remain Activated

0000157: Pear::Mail + MercuryMail not working

when trying to send a mail using Pear::Mail there is a timeout.
It seems to be a problem with MercuryMail because trying to telnet to the smtp-port gives the error that the connection failed.

0000156: After installed the tomcat addon, the virtual hosts invalid

Maybe the mod_jk.mod's problem,but i am not sure.
After i changed the tomcat's VirtualHost setting from
..... to and restart apache server,all my virtual hosts work well again

0000155: xampp_cli.exe incorrectly reports Tomcat status when using custom JRE/JDK

When the JRE_HOME or JAVA_HOME path is set to something other than the included jre path xampp_cli.exe incorrectly reports Tomcat status as "not started", and subsequently it cannot be used to shutdown Tomcat.
This appears to be because "tomcat\jre\bin\javaw.exe" is hard coded in xampp_cli.exe.

Possible solution: parse output from the call to tomcat\bin\startup.bat for correct status and/or path.

0000154: Apache 2.2.14 mod_isapi Dangling Pointer

Hope to see XAMPP packaged with the Apache HTTP server 2.2.15 soon :)

0000153: Cannot be created one object from PDO

I am using orb xpdo to work and create one object from PDO, but this action is not produced.

Please, review the attached file
I am using xmapp 1.7.2

Error Message:

0000152: NoSQL extensions

Any chance that you will be including additional nosql extensions in later builds of xampp?

ie: mongodb, couchdb...

0000151: Can not use xampp command line tool due to bad paths

The xampp command line tool, used to run various processes related to setting up and using xampp, is not able to be used in the 1.7.3 beta due to bad paths, for example references to 'lampp' exist in the subscripts 'crypt' and 'xampplib'.

0000107: Some path's are not casesensetiv ready

/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/bin/mysql.server points to /Applications/xampp/xamppfiles/share/mysql/mysql.server which may causes errors on casesensetiv formated macs.

Maybe other symlinks or paths are affected to, this should be checked.

0000148: Xdebug 2.0.6 is having problems when i add a watch to some variable from Netbenas IDE

Hi, i am using the xdebug version that comes with xampp 1.7.3 but in the xdebug site they said that issues with variables watches and socket troubles where solved in the xdebug 2.1 version. Is there any way that you could publish in your site this version of xdebug compiled the right way to use it with the php5.3.1 versiion that comes with XAMPP 1.7.3 ?

I would be just comppile xdebug 2.1 for the same VC and api of PHP. Please.There are some other guys having the same issue with xdebug and it is so tricky to get it compiled to the same api of the xampp php and getting working on the xampp i have already installed. Thanks.

0000135: Unable to run XAMPP on another port if port 80 is in use by another apache.

I'm currently running MAMP on port 80 and I want to be able to run XAMP on another port.
To do this, I went in and changed the listener port in the httpd.conf file, but when I go to start XAMP, it tells me that port 80 is in use.

The only way I can run both XAMPP and MAMP together is if I start XAMPP first, then start MAMP.

Since the server will not start if the requested port is in use, it would seem that the check is not that critical. Is there any way the check could be removed? or if it could pull the listener ports from the conf file and see if they are in use and check those instead of just a strict port 80?

0000149: XAMPP - Apache2 - portable - TMP environment bug

In the portable version of windows XAMPP 1.7.3 (xampp-win32-1.7.3.zip)
there might be a bug with setting the TMP environment under specific circumstances for Apache2.

If you install the windows portable binaries of XAMPP to drive P:/portable/xampp
and setup the Apache2 document root to an other drive letter like "S:/my_webserver" you
will get warnings/errors when starting a session with "session_start()".

You can test this by a simple script:
session_start();
?>

Reason:
The apache is first looking for a directory S:/portable/xampp/tmp.
(The apache is looking for the tmp dir at the document root drive letter
and not at the tmp environment.)
At this drive (S:) a session file is placed and afterwards the PHP tries
to get infomation for this session file at (P:).
So if the tmp-path at P: doesn't exists, the complete session handling fails.

To set the environment by hand with
SetEnv TMP "P:\\portable\\xampp\\tmp"
has no effect.

Please check.

0000147: Apache port

Permitir mudança de porta. Ex: Ao clicar no botão Apache Admin do Control Panel não apenas abrir na porta 80 e sim em qualque porta pré definida.

0000146: GD Extension - Fehlerhafte Umlaute

Die Funktionen imagefttext() und imagettftext() liefern keine Umlaute mehr. Die übergebenen Texte sind nach wie vor in utf-8 codiert.

0000141: MySQL service would not start due to time zone related problem

MySQL would not start because of a problem related to the default-time-zone configuration. In my installation it was "Asia/Karachi".
Windows Event Viewer reported this error : "Fatal error: Illegal or unknown default time zone 'Asia/Karachi'".
I downloaded the files from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/timezones.html [^] and copied them to mysql/data/mysql to solve the problem.

0000144: Fix for Spaces in Path Names

There are runtime problems when the system is setup in a directory with spaces in the path name. This is first manifested as an Apache issue but there may be other issues that are masked by the first error.

0000145: Mysql Starting error

when starting MySQL on Snow leopard, it asks for the password - Administrator. Then it says:The operation couldn’t be completed. (XAMPPErrorDomain error 1.)

I tried to look for error logs on it, but didn't see any that pertained to mysql.

0000136: 1.7.2 LIBXML not working needs patched.

Update: This was fixed for libxml2 version 2.7.3 in PHP snapshot on 11/01/2009. You can use the following patch:

Pardon the dumb question but how does one go about applying a patch to Apache Friends..

0000043: eAccelerator extension

The eAccelerator extension provided with xampp (lampp) on linux is not up to date when you switch from php5 to php4.
