Got a question for you. When I try to restore the database I get this error:Any ideas what I am doing wrong? I am having my hosting company make a backup nightly and it is in the .sql.gz format. I'm using WinZip to extract it and it appears to extract it fine. It ends up as a text document with a .sql extension. My username and password are correct.

just to post this, if you have norton installed TURN IT OFF or apache wont work right, took me all day to figure this out

I get this message:

You are not running PHP - Please contact your system administrator.

The installation went well, except for when I was editing the httpd conf file for apache, I couldnt find the first step....
So I added it under all the other "LoadModules"

I just did the full install few days ago. Followed the exact same steps listed here.
I have no idea why is not working for some people because for me works always... never had a prob.

i had no problems except for ONE,

I couldnt follow that step...because "DirectoryIndex index.html index.html.var" wasnt in my config file. And i'm guessing that's why i dont get directed to index.php when i go to my forums directory or my phpMyAdmin directory. How can i fix that?

Superb job mate...

Obviously we also need to be able to send emails from the board... is that something that is easily setup?

Can anyone help with that?

^^

I have gotten the whole thing to pretty much work on my Win98 with PHPTriad because the other way wont work for me. I get everything to work but this error when I try to install vBulletin Warning: Unlink failed (No such file or directory) in c:\apache\htdocs\admin\install.php on line 305

It does let me install it and all but yea I wanna know what is up with that

I have it installed now and it all works fine but I still get that error in the install.php?step2 when you connect to the database.

Also is there anyway to get shtml pages to show up right? That means is there a way to enable ssi?

There is a tutorial about the error made by Logician in this forum - take a look at it ;)

- miSt

Succeeded in a fresh install. My FIRST!

Now I need to copy everything off current live site over to my localhost. I'm used to using MSFrontpage. Is it possible to use frontpage extensions on an apache server? Or do I need to use a FTP package?

Also, the mySQL database files, do I just download them to my local machine and run?

Once I have the SAME site running locally (with the already installed hacks) I can continue from there.

Thanks! :)

Everything is now loaded from live site. I go to run the site on my localhost and I get:

Warning: mysql_pconnect(): Access denied for user: 'root@localhost' (Using password: YES) in C:\Network\Apache2\htdocs\vbforums\admin\db_mysql. php on line 38

I've tried the user and pass from live site, local and none with same results. Where should I look?

Search my web site for an answer related to this problem, I posted this there, in MySQL forum.

I searched your site using a variety of words used in the error, etc and couldn't find anything. :(

i cant access my vb...it said page not found.... only is by goin through "C:\Network\Apache2\htdocs\forums\" ... but when i go there dreamweaver poped up

You need to go through a webbrowser with an HTTP address.

So, for instance, if your computer name is "foo", you would need to goto http://foo/forum/. You can set the computer name through Windows.

it still dun work

See, I've taken this hack one step farther, and am using this configuration as my production environment. The only problem I expect to have once my forum grows is bandwidth.... But I'm sure I can compensate somehow.

Oh, and I did all this before ever coming to vbulletin.org. Thanks for showing others how to do this amazingly simple thing and make it work properly!

it's not working for me, i installed apache, mysql and php.

Ill post the things it says:

1. When I open WinMySQL Admin

it says about phpDev, but I don't have it installed on my HD...

2. When I open up apache console thingy...

nevermind, I got it working now

nuther problem
and someone, plz reply this time...

whenever i start Apache, it comes up with this:

on this step

03. Go to Go to C:\Network\MySQL\bin\data folder and create a new folder called vbulletin. That is your database.

do i create the vbulletin folder in C:\Network\MYSQL\bin

or

C:\Network\MySQL\bin\data

because there is no data folder in the bin folder

C:\Network\MySQL\data

i get this error

You are not running PHP - Please contact your system administrator.

I fixed the php error for everyone.
I just forgot to reset the apache, and when i did it, it worked.
I just right click on it in the taskbar on the bottom right handcorner and then click reset for the people who dont know.

hope this solves some problems.
