Access Problem

[pickle_jimmy]

Hi Quaxth,

First up, thanks for trying out nuBuilder - it is well worth a little effort to get it up and running.

Second, nuBuilder is primarily a PHP + MySQL application. The windows installer that we have on our site is a little dated, and the
php.ini file has the error level setting pretty high - it is not designed for a production environment.

And finally, we are yet to try it out on Windows 8, though that is not to say that it wont work.

So, with these things in mind, here is my advice. As getting a WAMP server up and running (and especially on Windows 8) is
beyond the scope of this forum, I always suggest to people to use one of the many WAMP environments that are available on the
internet - the one I generally use is WAMPSERVER (http://www.wampserver.com/en/)

Download this (stick with the 32bit version for a start, even on 64bit windows) - install it - make sure it runs (make sure you
can get into PHPMyAdmin) - Make sure that windows doesn't already have a webserver (iis) running, this'll make installing apache difficult.

Once you have a running WAMP server, you are 95% of the way there. One of the benefits of WampServer is that it has a SysTray tool
that points to the ini files it is using, making editing them a breeze.

Then, download the .zip version of nuBuilder, extract it into your web root, and upload the .sql files into mysql using phpmyadmin. If
you need more info on this - do a search of this forum for pickle_jimmy - as I have more than one post already on this.

Let us know if you still have issues.

Cheers

Pickle Jimmy

Thanks for answer.

If you had look at the pictures in my post, you would have seen that I run nuBuilder on Wampserver already.

The Windows 8 is 32bit, same the Wampserver! The nuBuilder I used here, were the zip file.

nuBuilder is working except that at any screen the Error Messages are in the background of any page which makes it really impossible to work with the system. Even after editing the php.ini file and changing the error reporting, it's still the same both in Google Chrome (plain text error messages) and IE10 (graphic with text in colored boxes). Just see the pictures.

What else and really could be the problem?

Thanks.

Anybody else were try nuBuilder on Windows 8? If so, what's your experiences? Did you face the same problem as I?

As I wrote in some port prior, after the release of Windows 8 in October, many will adopt that new version and nuBuilder should be ready to work with. And till January 2013, the Release Preview is free to download and use on legal base.

Just a a sidenote, Visual Studio 2012 and Server 2012 previews also free to use till January 2013, all available on Microsofts websites.

Hi Quaxth (etal),

I am going to do an install on Win8 today - I will post my results, and anything I did to work around issues that appear.

I am assuming we are going to be seeing a lot more Windows 8 users in the future, so lets sort this out once and for all.

Cheers

Pickle Jimmy - wish me luck

Hi Jimmy,

thanks for that.

I believe it's a good move to start with the adoption of Windows 8 now, so it will all clear at the release date of Windows 8. And for sure, there will be a lot more users of Windows 8 after they recognize that they would really benefit form that change. From my own use, i really have to admit that it's the best Windows I ever had in hand's even better than Windows 7 Ultimate. And as MS announced, with the release version in October their would be some more changes to even the better with the release.

So I wish you all the best with your start of Windows 8 and that you all get solved.

For to get a bit more easy to work from beginning, please download the Classic Start Menu form this link: http://localhostr.com/files/HB9IYcd/Cla ... _3_5_0.exe , run the installation of it and if you click on Desktop onb the Metro Menu, you'll get those Classic Start Menu directly to work. Right click on that Icon and chose Settings and select All Settings. Then you couds start to adjust the Menu to your personal needs. That will helps you a lot for to get familar with Windows 8.
If you like to know a bit more of Windows 8, like all the shortcut key's go to my post here: http://www.slatedroid.com/topic/33857-w ... to-public/

Have fun and let me know if you solve the nuBuilder problem I'd with running under Windows 8.

Thanks and have a good day.

Hi All,

I think I'll start with a WooHoo, as I not only got it working, but I experienced the issue as seen by Quaxth and so I hope this will help...
Here is what I did.

1) Updated to the latest Virtual Box
2) Installed Windows 8 (32bit) Release Preview
3) Downloaded WAMP-SERVER (2.23-php5.4.3-httpd2.2.22-mysql5.5.24)
4) Installed WAMP - with default settings
5) As noted by WAMP, I needed and so I downloaded and ran the Microsoft C Distributable (http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/de ... px?id=8328)
6) Make sure Apache Service is installed. WAMP > Apache > Service > Install Service

Apache Service

6a) The links in WAMP take you to http://localhost and http://localhost/phpmyadmin (use 127.0.0.1 instead)
-- At this point WAMP was up and running... now for nuBuilder

7) Download nuBuilder (v2.7.2-12.07.12-Build468)
7a) Extract the .zip - copy the contents (\db \productionnu2 index.php etc) to c:\wamp\www
8) Open PHPMyAdmin (http://127.0.0.1/phpmyadmin) and import c:\wamp\www\sample.sql

9) Open http://127.0.0.1/ and select Sample - log in with u:globeadmin p:secret
9a) Screen fills with Errors.

10) open the php.ini (use the link in WAMP) - edit the error_reporting line
Make sure the line you edit does not start with a ";" as this is just a comment line.
Find this line
error_reporting = E_ALL
and change it to
error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE
10a) Restart the services - Errors still appear.

11) Seems with the latest WAMP, PHP is set to display errors. Turn Off: WAMP > PHP > PHP Settings > Display Errors

Display Errors

12) Open http://127.0.0.1/ (Again) and select Sample - log in with u:globeadmin p:secret
13) Tada...

Hope this is clear to all

Unfortunately it were not happen with WAMP only, even with XAMPP 1.8.0 (the latest new edition) and the older 1.7.3, 1.7.2 I was getting the same problem, not ion Windows 8 only, in Windows 7 Ultimate as well.

Installed nuBuilder directly to Windows 7 Ultimate, not any problem and all will work! But that's recommended only if not any other Dev Apps will be used which will need Apache, PHP etc. to work.

So, I'll check I could stop the whole Error Reporting and see it will work than.

Report back later.

[quaxth]

As I'm out of office at the moment, I've only my Laptop with me which has XAMPP 1.8.0 installed. I was looking to disable the Error Reporting within XAMPP for PHP and could not find out how to get to do that.

Do you have any idea or advice?

Thanks.

Hi Quaxth,

Sorry, I cant really help with XAMPP - But; Google is your friend.

When looking for why changing the php.ini error_reporting level for WAMP didn't stop the warnings from being displayed - Google gave me the answer.

Give the WAMP Server a try though, once you set the display errors of it works like a charm

Cheers

Pickle

Hi Jimmy,

back in Office, running Wamp Server on Windows 8, disabled Error display and all is fine. Now I'll check in PHP.ini for to disable errors and check with XAMPP again. Will also ask our all friend (Google) may he knows an answer too?!

So let see what will be!

Cheers, Quax
