XAMPP 1.7.1 + ProsePoint 0.30 installation not working
Sat, 06/02/2010 - 03:31
Hello,
I installed XAMP 1.7.1 + ProsePoint 0.30 on my Windows XP SP3 machine. I followed the instruction and everything seems to be all right. When the installation script finished, I redirect my FF browser to http://localhost and I couldn’t see the ProsePoint demo site.
This is the error that displays FF:
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
I checked the Apache error log and I saw this:
[Fri Feb 05 09:17:16 2010] [notice] Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting.
Any help or advice is appreciated.
Thnak you in advance,
Eduardo

Thank you for your answer
Thank you for your answer beng.
First, I tried to install ProsePoint with XAMPP 1.7.3 and I got the same issues as this post http://www.prosepoint.org/node/504. Then, I installed XAMPP 1.7.1 version because it includes PHP 5.2.9. As I said before, the installation finish completely with XAMPP 1.7.1, but when I try to open the ProsePoint site demo, my browser cannot display it. In error log of Apache I see the:
Parent: child process exited with status 3221225477 -- Restarting.
Maybe I will try with WAMP
Regards,
Eduardo

google seems to turn up some possible things to check
Hi,
Sorry, that error message from xampp is no help to me. However, google seems to turn up some possible things to check.
See http://www.google.com/search?q=child+process+exited+with+status+3221225477
Maybe try chasing one of those up?

XAMPP 1.7.1 and ProsePoint 0.31 Install issue
I make it to the point that I select which variant and then I keep getting a message from Windows that the program (Apache server) has stopped responding. I am on Windows Vista, running XAMPP 1.7.1. (see information below). I have installed Drupal 6.16 without any issue.
Also, I have had to increase the max execution time in php.ini to avoid timeout (I see that this is a common issue).
What is the status of this? Is it possible to install PP 0.31 on XAMPP 1.7.1? Why does the install run so slowly?

I guess I found the "answer" on d.o.
I decided to poke around more, since I hadn't heard a response from you, yet and I came across this:

Bummer!

Can you try setting your PHP max_execution_time to about 600 sec
Hi,
(I just realised in comment #1, I said that XAMPP 1.7.1 uses PHP 5.3. This is my mistake. XAMPP 1.7.1 uses PHP 5.2.9)
Is 'being slow' the main or only symptom? Some Windows setups run PHP about 10+ times slower than non-Windows systems. Not sure why though.
Can you try setting your PHP max_execution_time to about 600 seconds (10 minutes) and see if that makes a difference? Just for testing?

It's not just that it is running slowly
Beng,
I do have the max execution time set at 600 seconds. I also inlcuded the XAMPP 1.7.1 information in a previous comment, so I am aware that it runs php 5.2.9.
The issue is that I reach the point of selecting the variant and then it gets the error message from windows that "the program has stopped responding." See the link to the D.O. forums I included in my prior comment for more details. It appears that there is just something wrong with the Vista + XAMPP 1.7.1 + PP combination.
I will see about doing the manual upgrade from a Drupal 6.16 release to include the additional modules, etc., to make it a ProsePoint setup. I'll dig into your profile script to see what's going on; it will be good php learning for me.

Hmmm ... It's possible that you may get more informative error messages in your PHP error logs, but I'm not sure where XAMPP keeps those. You might want to have a look?

Apache error logs weren't at all helpful
I checked the Apache logs without seeing anything useful. I can look for the php error logs. Where are they kept in other server set ups?
Hi,
XAMP 1.7.1 uses PHP 5.3. ProsePoint is currently not yet compatible with PHP 5.3.x (see http://www.prosepoint.org/docs/php-requirements.html). Sorry.
I'd suggest you try an older version of XAMP, or maybe find another web server software stack for Windows.
