JoomlaPack problem

Posted 15 years 8 months ago
- Hi,
  
  I have now been trying for three days to make JoomlaPack work on my WAMP server.
  
  Details are:
  
  Template: TT
  WAMP ver. 2.0f with MYSQL 5.0.51a
  Joomla 1.5.9
  joomlaPack 2.0.1
  kickstart-svn425
  
  The site I am trying to download is http://www.krakow-city.org
  running on hosting server using PHP5 and the same MYSQL 5.0.51a
  
  I have tested the WAMP server with a clean install using the same template that the site is running on and it is fine.
  
  With the downloaded site every thing performs ok until at the end of the process when I try to view the site on WAMP, all I get is a 500 error and the following message:
  
  "Internal Server Error
  
  The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
  
  Please contact the server administrator, admin@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
  
  More information about this error may be available in the server error log."
  
  Anyone got any ideas? :shock:

- Try checking for the cgi-bin directory if it is set to 777
  
  You can also view this to troubleshoot the issue:
  
  encodable.com/internal_server_error/
- Quick tips::
  1) Clear your browser cache if changes dont reflect
  2) Provide link to your site to help us help you better
  3) Use in firebug

- This is what is in the cgi-bin directory
  
  #!c:/Perl/bin/perl.exe
  ##
  ## printenv -- demo CGI program which just prints its environment
  ##
  
  print "Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1\n\n";
  foreach $var (sort(keys(%ENV))) {
  $val = $ENV{$var};
  $val =~ s|\n|\\n|g;
  $val =~ s|"|\\"|g;
  print "${var}=\"${val}\"\n";
  }
  
  What do I change?

- OK guys - have located the problem.
  
  WAMP ver. 2.0f does not like .htaccess
  
  Take it out and it runs
  
  However, it does not seem to like the RokSlide Show very much either. It will just about work with it providing you use the refresh browser button.

- Have you considered using XAMMP?
  
  Joom!Pack and all the RT templates run on it without any errors.
- Thanks,

- Did try installing Xampp - it crashed my system - had to take it off.
  
  Will have another go some time but did not find it as user friendly as WAMP
  
  What is the documentation like for Xampp?

  If you've got Windows, XAMMP works well.
  
  This video will get you up and running in about 20 minutes.

  Note: the video *should* get you up and running in 20 minutes.
  
  But, in my case, once installed I couldn't access the first screen.
  
  I uninstalled and reinstall about a dozen times.
  
  Long story short, you may have some software that is using ports XAMPP needs to function, MSN, Skype, ect.
  
  Along with SP3 firewall settings, virus software etc, you may run into problems.
  
  Finally, after almost giving up, I installed it in Safe Mode without networking, XAMPP got all the ports it wanted and the install went off without a hitch.
  
  When I rebooted, everything worked, I've got 26 sites running on it now.
- Thanks,

- Jem you hit the nail right on the head. This is what happened to me with the ports messing up my system. I even had trouble in uninstalling it.
  
  So you installed under Safe mode - I may try it later but there may be a fix for WAMP - see entry on the JoomlaPack forum.
  
  I will try to post here when sorted.
