XAMPP Ultimate Guide

I am fed up with this XAMPP. I have to research forum each time I start to using it again.

So here is my personal little guide, that will help you set it up in minutes.

First just download the files. You can choose 32 bit version even if you run 64 bit WIN 7.

Just install it, dont tick any of the services boxes.

Then double click on xampp tray icon and enable apache and mysql.

SKYPE

If apache does not want to start, shutdown your skype, because skype is using same port 80.

You can change the setting in skype, under connection, untick the box where it mentions port 80. This should work.

After install type localhost into browser url box

http://localhost/xampp/

Click on Status, all the fileds should be green.

If PHP is deactivated, you should put password of your database into this file

/xamppfiles/phpmyadmin/config.inc.php and changing the password to reflect your mysql config

That fixed it for me

Then go to

http://localhost/security/index.php

and you should setup password for root acess and also for phpmyadmin

after you do that you are done.

DATABASES

click on tray icon and mysql admin button.

Here you can create databases.

Then download the drupal install files for example and put them into folder

htdocs/drupal/......

put each site into separate folder, for example I have many folders inside htdocs folder like drupal6, drupal7, joomla, wordpress, magento folders.......

Then just run the site

http://localhost/drupal

WORDPRESS ISSUES

Almost none, but in the first step of installing WP you can get this error

COULD NOT CONNECT TO DATABASE, make sure you input the username, password and database name in the configuration WP file. Then it should work. You have set up the password on your mysql because of security reasons, so you have to use that password now. It should work.

MAGENTO ISSUES

THere is this error that you get

"Please enter a valid URL. Protocol is required (http://, https:// or ftp://)”.

YOu can use firebug to just delete the whole line in html code and it will work great

MYSQL IMPORT ISSUES

If you can't import mysql database into xampp, then you might suspect the size and timout limits in the settings of mysql. You should edit my.ini file, xampp/mysql/bin

And change these two lines

max_allowed_packet= 64M
wait_timeout= 6000

Now it should work
