nuBuilder Forum

Hi All - I am itching to try nuBuilder and have tried to install it, to no avail, and yes I have gone through the install guide(s) to the letter. First some info:

Using Windows 11
WAMP server running on local machine (localhost, using port 7080)
Apache 2.4.46
PHP 7.3.21
MySQL 5.7.31
Created a "nubuilder4" database in mySQL via phpMyAdmin
I copied the nuBuilder installation files, as is, to "WAMP64/www/nubuilder4.5
Note: phpMyAdmin and PHPRunner both run without a problem on localhost:7080 so I don't think there is a problem with that.

I have done the following in nuconfig.php:

$nuConfigDBHost = "localhost:7080"; //-- Database Host / IP. You may try localhost if 127.0.0.1 does not work.
$nuConfigDBName = "nubuilder4"; //-- Database Name. You can change the name, if desired. The database must exist or must be created on your server.
$nuConfigDBUser = "root"; //-- Database User. Change the user, if desired. The user must exist or must be created.
$nuConfigDBPassword = "admin"; //-- Database Password. We recommend you to use any strong password.
//-- The default username for a new MySQL installation is root, with a blank password.

$nuConfigDBEngine = "InnoDB"; //-- InnoDB or MyISAM
$nuConfigDBCollate = "utf8mb4_unicode_ci"; //-- Or utf8_general_ci etc.
$nuConfigDBCharacterSet = "utf8mb4"; //-- Or utf8 etc.

// Administrator Login:
$nuConfigDBGlobeadminUsername = "*******"; //-- globeadmin username. You can choose any username you like.
$nuConfigDBGlobeadminPassword = "*******";

So what happens when I try to run "localhost:7080/nubuilder4.5" in my browser (Firefox) I get the following error:

"Connection failed: SQLSTATE[HY000] [2006] MySQL server has gone away"

mySQL has not timed out when I get this error as I can immediately access phpMyAdmin, and have also tried to stop and start WAMP and then try again, no luck.

I have added the tweaks to "my.ini" (key_buffer_size and max_allowed_packet) as described in the installation guide, also without any luck, and yes I did restart the server and browser after doing these adjustments.

What am I doing wrong, any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Hi,

Does this help'? “MySQL server has gone away” error – Solution(s)

Something else to try:

Remove the port number:
$nuConfigDBHost = "localhost"

And open the url like (replace nubuilder4 with your nuBuilder folder name)

Thanks guys - I applied both of your recommendations and it now works! In all honesty I wouldn't be able to say what made the difference but thanks nonetheless.
