WebServ-1.3.6.0.exe - pear upgrade

joshlangley — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 12:26:19 -0000

I'm trying to upgrade the base PEAR package as it's required for other packages but I can't upgrade, since PEAR is erroring.
Any ideas what I can do/or am doing wrong?

In Command Prompt:

C:\WebServ\php>pear upgrade PEAR

Latest APACHE + MySQL

discoleo — Sat, 21 Oct 2006 17:28:47 -0000

Hi,

it would be nice to have the latest APACHE (v2.2.3) and
MySql (v5.0.something) in the package.

It would also be nice NOT to overwrite existing USER
settings in the MySQL database (or alternatively to
export the user names/ psw and create new ones in the
new install).

I really appreciate WebServ and so hope that the
package gets upgraded. The XAMPP package is a real
travesty (the security section is catastrophic), so I
really depend on this release (as I am not enough
techie to install all server subcomponents by myself).

PHP not connecting to MySQL

Headwinds — Sat, 05 Nov 2005 03:00:42 -0000

I've recently installed WebServ 1.2.9.0 on WinXP in the
default directory. All appeared to go well. I can use
mysql.exe with no problems, but I'm not able to connect
to a MySQL database with PHP. I'm using the following
code, adapted from the PHP manual.

<?php
echo 'Opening connection';
$link = mysql_connect('localhost', 'myusername',
'mypassword');
if (!$link) {
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
echo 'Connected successfully';
mysql_close($link);
?>

I've tried using mysqli_connect() with the same result.
Running this under PHP Designer, I can see an error
message complaining that mysql_connect() is an unknown
function.

I can use PHP to echo a "Hello World", so Apache is
working with PHP okay, but (to me) it appears that PHP
didn't get compiled with the right commands to make the
MySQL connection work.

Can you suggest how I can get this working? I'm
supposed to be mentoring a high school student, and
we've got the same problem on his laptop.

Thank you!

File upload size restriction ??

Anonymous — Sat, 18 Dec 2004 15:32:53 -0000

I am using WebServ and I have installed Coppermine
Photo Gallery. I can't get files larger than 50k to up
load.
I have searched for some setting that would cause this
but can not find it. Can you help ?

Thanx,

Kas
