And it is spelled ok ...: Quote: // Database Hostname Any luck with error logs? Try changing localhost to 127.0.0.1 (once I had problem with corupted hosts file) There is a bat file in MySQL folder of xampp if you need to reset the database pass.

| by Anonymous on 2008/11/30 23:27:20 @ghia and @stefan88 MySQL and Apache are running fine. I added a password to db user "root" and got the "unable to access database" error. I am confident that it's not an issue with the db connection; changing the root pasword gives a db error and the xampp control panel says apache and My SQL running. http://localhost/xampp gives the expected content. I think it's to do with the xoops_data folder and either the path or the permissions; this is what we'd say to users whose white screen has this when looking at the source code: le="color: #000000"><?php <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"></HEAD> <BODY></BODY></HTML> It's as if the XOOPS content of the page isn't being passed to the browser. Keep going guys.... all help/advice welcome. @ghia Yes, I'll do a clean install of XOOPS 2.3.2a via xampp tomorrow evening. |

| by stefan88 on 2008/11/30 22:01:38 Hi, Any debug errors from xoops? Any errors in server logs? (c:\xampp\apache\logs\error.log) or something like that... You may turn php error logging (also to file) in php.ini or php5.ini depending on the version.

| by ghia on 2008/11/30 21:56:33 At the install of XAMPP, you must run one time the setup_xampp.bat file from cmd. To start your site execute (double click) mysql_start.bat and then apache_start.bat. For stopping the site execute first apache_stop.bat and then mysql_stop.bat. Could you see if a fresh install of XOOPS (in eg the site2 subdirectory of xampp/htdocs/)is possible? Otherwise use phpMyAdmin, to create a database and a database user, assign the user to the database and give him all the rights. You can then use this database and user in the credentials of mainfile.php. |
