XAMPP BUGS - ISSUES

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?

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

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.

0000046: XAMPP bundles a very old (broken) Xdebug version

XAMPP for windows (just downloaded) bundles 2.0.0RC1 which is quite outdated and many bugs have been fixed since. Please update xdebug to atleast rc4.

0000142: XAMPP 1.7.2 has some odd folder names on extraction (/lampp/etc/)

Using the native file extraction in Ubuntu 9.04 and explicitly following the Linux installation instructions on your site, I'm seeing some odd folder names with xampp-linux-1.7.2.tar.gz. For example, in "/lampp/etc" there are some folders with brackets and excessive spaces in their names.

This is not seen in XAMPP 1.7.1.

I also extracted the Linux release of 1.7.2 with 7zip in Windows and saw the same brackets and spaces in folder names.

0000139: Query/Prepared Statements with PDO not working

If I make a query with PDO or a prepared statement it always says,
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 261900 bytes) in D:\..\PDOWrapper.php on line 24

On line 24: return $this->query($query);

It is a normal PDO call... I set the memory_limit to 128M but still the same problem. What can I do?

0000127: 1.7.2 Security pages no longer restricted to localhost.

(This is a 1.7.2 bug, not in the list)

In 1.7.1 the Security link on the main XAMPP page was restricted to localhost access (although one could hack around that).

The security check page links to xamppsecurity.php which was also limited to localhost in 1.7.1.

In 1.7.2, these links can be accessed remotely.

Security page still states:
"=> http://localhost/security/xamppsecurity.php [^] <= [allowed only for localhost]"

But "allowed only for localhost" is no longer true.

This will allow hackers to lock down an insecure XAMPP install (how's that for ironic? Is this a feature?)

0000138: Installation of Pecl packages doesnt work

after running
pecl install xdebug i get the following errors



/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/xdebug.so, 9): no suitable image found.  Did find:

	/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/lib/php/php-5.3.0/extensions/no-debug-non-zts-20090626/xdebug.so: mach-o, but wrong architecture

I get the same error for all pecl packages i try to install

0000133: LAMPP security does not re-enable MySql networking

When "lampp security" disables the MySql networking, running security again does not give option to re-enable.

0000123: XAMPP PHP build executing slowly

This report is in response to kleinweby in the forum topic XAMPP 1.0.1, slow PHP execution times <http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=36481>. [^]

For some reason, the XAMPP PHP build is executing slowly. Here is a more thorough test and the results. XAMPP is performing almost twice as slow as the built in OSX build and MAMP. I'm not sure why the Linux build is twice as fast.




	$start = microtime(true);

	

	for ($i = 0; $i < 1E6; $i++) {

		hash('sha512', 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.');

	}

	for ($j = 0; $j < 1E6; $j++) {

		$object = new StdClass();

		$object->sentence = 'The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog.';

	}

	for ($k = 0; $k < 1E6; $k++) {

		$lim = sqrt($k);

		for ($d = 2; $d <= $lim; $d++) {

			if ($k % $d == 0) {

				break;

			}

		}

	}

	

	echo ((microtime(true) - $start) * 1000).' ms'.PHP_EOL;

?>

0000132: Control Panel not Stopping Apache!

In Version 1.7.2a, when you try to stop apache, it will appear as you stopped it (red light, and "Start" button). When you press "Start", it will try to start and come up with: "XAMPP's apache can not start while another webserver is using port 80. Please turn it off and try again.", and if you load a XAMPP page, it will still load, and when you quit, and re-open XAMPP Control Panel, it will show up as "On" again, and you still cannot stop it. To stop it, you have to restart your computer.

0000130: Spoiled tar.gz archive in xampp 1.7.2

Description
When you try to extract xampp from the tar.gz archive, the etc directory (lampp/etc) is spoiled. By mistake I already reported that problem, but I chose the wrong product version. Hope there will be a 1.7.2a soon cause this problem is annoying. Thanks in advance.

0000128: libxml2 hase big bug in version 1.7.2

libxml2 have BUG. This lib can't parase xml files with special charaters, like:

& "e; etc.

You must upgrade this lib to version 2.7.3 or newer.

0000118: Add DBD::mysql perl module

I can't install any Perl-based program to the MySQL database because of no existence of the DBD::mysql module. I've tried to do that manually, but often results in failures.
