I downloaded the latest pyrocms zip file and I noticed something strange happening. On windows using xampp-lite 1.7.3 or 1.7.2 the installation process is successful and I am able to go to the admin login page. But as soon as I type the given username and password and attempt to login, apache in xampp crashes and an error comes up with send to MS etc so I switch to ubuntu which is a virtual machine on my system and in ubuntu it installs successfully as well but when I attempt to see the login page it just goes blank. I even used a full xampp 1.7.2 install for linux and nothing. Maybe this is important, I have other client websites running on both win and ubuntu running off CI and no problem. I have no error codes cos I don't see any errors in the logs of xampp. do have any suggestions cos this bums me out, atleast before I look for other lamp and wamp stacks for windows and linux? thanks
If downloading php from php.net and replacing the one that comes with xampp, reconfiguring and restarting apache doesn't fix it. Try commenting php_threads.dll extension in php.ini
To reconfigure xampp apache edit xampplite\apache\conf\extra\httpd-xampp.conf php module section:
#
# PHP-Module setup
#
LoadFile "/xampplite/your_new_php_dir_or_same_if_you_deleted_and_replaced/php5.dll"
LoadModule php5_module modules/php5apache2_2.dll
<IfModule php5_module>
<FilesMatch "\.php$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</FilesMatch>
<FilesMatch "\.phps$">
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php-source
</FilesMatch>
PHPINIDir "/xampplite/php"
</IfModule>
At least we can try to narrow it down bit more
