I have downloaded magento from bitnami a month ago on my windows 8, now I wanted to install xampp to run my php files and test them I have some confusing issues
1:When I open my php file after installing xampp its not opening as a php file and I have to choose options to open it with notepad,php file is appearing same as nothing happens on installing xampp.
2.Magento has accessed the ports required so if i try to test xampp like this localhost/ it opens page for magento successful installation and not xampp.. I changed the port from 80 to 81 and accessed localhost like this correctly localhost:81/ but when I try to access phpmyadmin its not giving me access to the server with root and no password also I have changed AllowNoPassword true already.I have changed the port to 3310 now how to access phpmyadmin as if I write localhot:3310/phpmyadmin it force downoads a file saying "PACKETS ARE NOT IN ORDER"
I am feeling that there might be some thing conflict among the two installations the question is as I have installed magento already what is the best way t run and test my php file
Thanks in advance

6 months ago, I used FileMaker platform and set my localhost for Filemaker at that time! now I want to set my localhost for phpMyAdmin, "localhost/phpMyAdmin". I have done all the things right.
But, when write "localhost" still see the below page.
I activated Apache and PHP.
I have loaded : "sudo nano /etc/apache2/httpd.conf" and deleted # before "#LoadModule php7".
I have MAC, thus I've created the "Sites" folder and added a file named index.php with the required codes in it.
I also changed DirectoryRoot and
I have done all above mentioned steps by fallowing instruction in here "https://websitebeaver.com/set-up-localhost-on-macos-high-sierra-apache-mysql-and-php-7-with-sslhttps"
I don't know what to do now ?!
I uninstalled all FileMaker Server from my computer and the problem solved without any other change!
I still wonder what should I do if I want to have two localhosts!
1- localhost port 80 for Filemaker server
2- localhost port 90 for phpMyAdmin
I've been trying to install XAMPP for quite some time now, but every time, at the end of the installation, it says:
Windows cannot find "-n"
And after that, it says:
Problem running post-install step. Installation failed (php.exe) Perhaps you have to install Visual C++ 2008 package.
I have Visual C++ 2008 package and it still says this. What do I do now? I have Windows 10 64-bit for anyone wondering.
I installed it in the root of my C: drive and it worked. Strange that previously I could just install it in my program files folder and that everything works...
Had the same problem when I tried to install xampp in a folder with spaces in its name (some folder example)
It was solved after I reinstalled xampp in a folder that has no space in its name, E.g. c:/xampp
Change your registry settings.
Open Registry Editor by pressing Windows + R key combination, type in regedit and press Enter.
If prompted by UAC, click on Yes to continue.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
In right-side pane, look for a EnableLUA and set the value to 0 and close Registry Editor.
Restart your computer.
Source: windows10update.com
Then type in XAMPP shell:
setup_xampp.bat
That error could be shown if you already had an older version of XAMPP installed to the default folder (C:\xampp) and you try to install a new version in a specific custom folder.
Just go to the Windows Control Panel, Add or Remove programs and uninstall the old installation of XAMPP.
I can confirm using Windows 10, that the "Windows cannot find -n" message is indeed based on the fact that you are installing XAMPP in a folder which is not c:\xampp.
That is rather a huge oversight for those who distribute XAMPP, they should allow relative paths.
I was trying to set XAMPP in c:\webservers\xampp\ because I'm working with multiple versions of servers for testing and development and well, there goes that idea.
Of course, in the end, I could always just do it myself, and get each bundle I need such as APACHE, mySQL, etc.. And that would mean, not relying on XAMPP.
Anyways, it's a rather stupid flaw, but it is what it is, and it's free, so, you pay for what you get! :)
An alternative to the current answers: I found that installing in a folder with a dash also didn't seem to work for me. E.g. C:\xampp-test\ would still give an error. Changing it to C:\xampptest\ solved the issue.
I ran setup_xamp.bat once (w/o admin rights) and it did some configuration for XAMPP but that did not help. When I executed setup_xamp.bat again with admin rights, it gave a message "nothing to do!".
While looking at the Apache config I realized it is trying to listen on port 80 and I already had IIS listening on that port. Which was causing the problem.
So I changed httpd.conf to use a different port 8765 (change needed at 2 places)
Also changed httpd-ssl.conf to use a different port 8766 (change needed at 3 places)
Then in XAMPP Control panel > Config > Services and Port Settings > specified same port number for Apache.
Once that was done I was able to start Apache without any error.
I installed wordpress on my local machine (backtrack) for experimenting. After I got everything setup I moved it to an Ubuntu Server so that everybody can access those pages at work. I followed the same instructions, I moved the wordpress folder into /var/www but I created a new database with the same username, password and hostname.
The problem is whenever I access the webpage #ubuntu it tries to download the file, if access the page #backtrack it goes to the dashboard and everything is fine.
I did not have an .htaccess file on either machine sop I created one just to see if it will fix the problem but it did not.
Apache works fine because I can get to some folders I have setup by going to
"http://ubuntuserver/folder name"
and the logs shows no errors because it is delivering the webpage to the client just fine but the client is downloading it instead.
Any Ideas why this is happening??
Sounds like you haven't installed the PHP module for Apache or enabled it to use PHP using AddType in the Apache config file.
It seems that your WebServer ( Apache here, i suppose ) is not configured to use PHP module and/or is missing some PHP configuration options.
See here for some basic configuration tutorial.
I want to start learning php, I install apache 2.2 and I want to run my first.php file, I look for www folder in the installation folder of ApacheSoftwareFoundation but I couldn't find it.
here's the files in the apache
I tried to put my php file in htdocs but it doesn't work , can some one help ?
Edit
Doesn't work means when I make http:localhost/first.php , returns Unable to connect
Now the apache is running, when I open htt'://localhost/
returns "it works"
but when I open any php file, it opens as-is ?!
You'll need to check a couple of things...
Make sure the Web Server is running ,either the service
or the program, is running and that you have the correctly configured the Virtual Directories.
If the web server just outputs the
content of the .php file, it could
mean that you don't have mod_php
installed. Meaning the server does
not have the Mime type registered so
it will just try to treat it as a
text file ...
And as your on windows you might consider using something like XAMPP. It gives you a Full Working AMP (Apache Mysql Php) Stack with one install and a easy control manager to start/stop the servers. Other wise do a couple of Google searches on how to install the php module for your Web Server on Windows
Update
To start the server try executing the executable bin/httpd.exe .
Now the apache is running, when I open
http://localhost/ returns "it works"
but when I open any php file, it opens
as-is ?!
A default installation of Apache on windows does not include the necessary modules to run PHP. After installing Apache, you must either:
Install PHP separately and follow the instructions described here to configure Apache to use the installed version of PHP to serve .php files. I've been through this and took me hours to get every thing to work.
Recommended for you: uninstall Apache; install WAMP instead.
if you look in your httpd.conf file you will find the default root directory, it doesnt have to be called www. It is the htdocs by default.
error 500 covers a whole host of things. from compile error, to permissions.
Have you put a simple file of
<?php
echo "test";
?>
As your test php page to rule out other issues?
You need to:
Construct your URI correctly: http://localhost/first.php (with the //)
Ensure that Apache is running
all files in htdocs can be referenced from outside
Just put a basic file named index.php
and visit site http://localhost/
In general type in http://localhost/filename
You say that you get a connection error when you try to go to your webpage. Since it looks like you're using Windows Vista or 7, make sure you're running Apache as an administrator; it can't bind to port 80 otherwise. Also check that other programs like Skype aren't binding to port 80. If you still can't find the problem, check the error log. (logs/error.log by default I think)
The problem is that Apache was installed but not started
If you are using xampp start it and then start apache through control panel
for others look for similar instruction
My purpose is to setup a forum in php just locally on my Windows 7 machine to test how it works.
I have installed Apache HTTP Server and PHP v5 successfully. Then I downloaded and extracted the phpbb-forum software and put it in my root folder. Then I realized that I needed some kind of database so I downloaded and installed MySQL. To configure my database I also downloaded and extracted phpMyAdmin but I can't get it to work. When I open my browser and navigate to my phpMyAdmin-folder I simply get this:
Screenshot: http://img836.imageshack.us/img836/5139/captureqb.png
I use my Apache server to preview my website where I'm using some php include functions so I know that I've a "working" PHP installation. The MySQL service is also running on my computer.
However, do you need to configure PHP and/or Apache in order to get phpMyAdmin to work properly? I'm a complete noob on this so I suppose it may be multiple shortcomings.
Thank you.. //Realiserad
The simpler way is to install WAMP server : it bundle Apache, PHP, MySQL and PHPMyAdmin preconficurated for work together.
You need to enable the MySQL extension to use MySQL from PHP.
The MySQL extension may or may not be bundled with your PHP distribution. (look for php_mysql.dll in the ext folder)
Assuming it's installed you can enable it by adding or uncommenting this line in your php.ini:
extension=php_mysql.dll
As other people have said it may be simpler to install WAMP Server
Have a look at: http://www.ricocheting.com/how-to-install-on-windows/mysql - Specifically, the 3rd step. It involves downloading the mySQL PHP Extention (which is a dll), and un-commenting a line of php.ini so that PHP Load's the extension.
While is may be simpler to install XAMPP or WAMP, I think that it's good to know how to fix your own problems - Scientia potentia est :D
not very familiar with windows, but it seems like you miss the php-mysql extension, which you can download from here (i think):
http://mysql2.mirrors-r-us.net/downloads/connector/php/index.html
would be alot easier for you to use a preconfigured wamp install like this one (available for win/mac/etc). google "xampp", i'm not allowed to post more than one link due to stackoverflows spam protection.
Configure PHP to Access MySQL
Open the c:\php\php.ini file with your favorite text editor.
Uncomment the following lines by removing the semicolon:
extension=php_mysqli.dll
extension=php_mbstring.dll
extension=php_mcrypt.dll
save and exit editor
After extracting the archive into phpmyadmin folder, you will have to configure phpmyadmin before you can connect to sql server.
you should create a configuration file. This file can be created manually (simply use a text editor),
During your first session you will see an error message.
To solve this problem you should create folder (C:\project\wwwroot\phpmyadmin\config). After that give full rights for IIS_IUSRS group and IUSR user.granting permission/image
Return to the config window. Visit localhost/phpmyadmin/setup/
To configure the connection settings click on the “New Server” button.
Enter the verbose name of the SQL server, and then the server hostname. If necessary, you can specify other settings.[setting up/image][2]
Save the settings and then the server will redirect us to the previous page. Choose:
the default language – English
the default server – 127.0.0.1
end of the line – Windows (\ r \ n)
Click Save, and then download. The received file (config.inc.php) you should save to the root directory (C:\project\wwwroot\phpmyadmin).
Open the authorization window (//localhost/phpmyadmin/) and login under root account. If you see a starting phpMyAdmin window, you can delete config folder.
For the correct work phpMyAdmin requires a database with the information. The script for creating database is already installed.
