As far as I can tell a copy of the Forum (4.2.3 Cand1) is running mostly normally in xampp, under Windows 10 64bit; I would say 95-98%...

However there have been a small number of niggles where things haven't functioned totally as expected, testing plugins such as CometChat / VSaChat etc, that have gone ahead and worked perfectly on the Live Forum.

One obvious issue is with edit/create posting, a vBulletin internal process - a screenshot provides some of the issues I'm experiencing.

I am using to date copies of Forum files and database (1GB+), the latter set under mysql (makes no difference under mysqli), and utf8-general-ci.

What I can't work out is where the issue is - php, template, quality of backup (cPanel activated) or something I haven't considered.....I've used a couple of different backup copies and nothing seems to change - which appears to point to an issue with xampp?

Any one with any thoughts?

warmly
Geoff
