XAMPP setup preconfigured for IntegraMOD.

[Michaelo]

In main xampp page select phpMyAdmin click on privileges and make sure ayasha is there and give the privileges needed (same as root). If you are not there add ayasha with the same password as you use in the config.php file and set privileges to %(all databases) privileges to ALL PRIVILEGES should be same as root.

well, that seems to be where the problem is in the phpMyAdmin, when i click on that, i get

Error

MySQL said: Documentation
#2003 - The server is not responding

when i click on the start for MySql, it will start, stay green with the word running for a sec, then stop. it will not stay connected/running whatever you want to call it.

[Fubie]

you may want to start from scratch and take it one step at a time. It is even possible that your db was not imported correctly.

Try running mysqldumper in IE or Opera. It has gotten stuck a time or two in FF.

[ayasha]

why won't the MySql stay running? and i did start from scratch, i even uninstalled and installed again.

[Fubie]

oh I see, mysql keeps shutting itself down.

I'm not sure really, I'll do some checking to see if anyone else has had this.

Back shortly.

[ayasha]

thanks Fubie, i appreciate that

[Fubie]

Cleo, can you turn off any antivirus and firewall software including windows firewall and try it?

[ayasha]

i turned them both off, it made no difference.

[Fubie]

what version of win XP do you have and what service packs.

Do you have any security software at all running.

Please run the xampp-portcheck.exe in the xampp folder. Make sure everything is free.

[ayasha]

all i can tell you is i am runnign win xp, i use windows firewall, and mcaffee.

i have no other security software running, and i am up to date on all the windows updates, sorry i don't know what version of xp or what the service packs are.

i ran the port check and everything is free, but still no go on the MySql.

[Fubie]

Ok, this is my last idea. goto the xampp folder and run mysql_start.bat

Hopefully that will start it.

[ayasha]

well, keep your fingers crossed Fubie, that did it for the mysql, and i can connect to the im140.

now i am going to get my database back in, and hopefully everything will stay working <img>

[Fubie]

Geeeze.......... It's the simplest things. <img>

ok, got that forum up and running on my HD, but now i am faced with a new problem, how do i get into the acp?

it keeps taking me to

//http://graphicsplayhouse.com/forum/login.php?redirect=admin/index.php&admin=1&sid=93598ac689c72f274fd9647db760951f

and that is not the localhost. if i manually type in the url

//http://localhost/forum/admin/index.php

it stills tries to take me to the first url. any ideas now?

edit: i got in, kept messing with the url til i did, now let me get everything i wanted off this one, and get rid of it. <img> it has been such a headache.

but let me go ahead and ask this question, when i set up a copy of my live forum on my HD, will there be any problems when i do upgrades, in getting the upgrades to work right on the live forum? as you can see with the 2 urls i used above. will the "localhost/forum/index.php carry over to a live forum? or will it be right when i upload the modded files and run the sqls on the live database on the server?

I've had the same problem...

But there is a simple way...
When trying to log in, I was taken to my online forum...
http://yourdomain.com/forum/login.php?sid=xxxxxxxxxxxx

Solution:
In your browser, change 'yourdomain.com' in that URL to 'localhost' (but keep the rest untouched)
http://localhost/forum/login.php?sid=xxxxxxxxxxxx
By doing so, you can login to you xampp installed forum

Once you're inside your admin panel, change domainname in your config.
The next time, you won't have that problem anymore!!
