RE: [PHP] Xampp question, pretty much 0T
Alternatively, I suggest you look into VMWare. There are several free versions (player, server, etc) if you don't want Workstation (which I absolutely love!) Workstation will give you such life-savers as multiple Snapshots amongst other things. http://www.vmware.com/products/player/ http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/ http://www.vmware.com/products/server/ Then you can setup a LAMP VM with your favorite distro (I use Gentoo myself, but don't recommend it for a VM as the compilation all the time is painful). You can download some already setup and ready to go. http://www.vmware.com/appliances/directory/cat/53 This is how I do all my development. I run XP as my host OS. VMware is NAT. Setup SAMBA & ssh on the VM and don't forget to edit your "C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts" with an entry to point to your VM's virtual host(s): 192.168.222.128 askeet 192.168.222.128 askeet.LAMP.com And your /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/askeet.conf DocumentRoot "/home/sfprojects/askeet/web" ServerName askeet.LAMP.com ServerAlias askeet.LAMP.com askeet ErrorLog logs/askeet-error_log CustomLog logs/askeet-access_log common DirectoryIndex index.php Alias /sf /usr/share/php/data/symfony/web/sf AllowOverride All Options FollowSymLinks +Indexes Order allow,deny Allow from all AllowOverride All Options FollowSymLinks +Indexes Order allow,deny Allow from all Then you just go to http://askeet.LAMP.com in your XP host and you're hitting your VM LAMP virtual host. Add this to your /etc/samba/smb.conf file: [askeet] comment = askeet symphony development VMWare path = /home/sfprojects/askeet read only = no public = yes create mode = 0666 directory mode = 0777 force user = daevid WIN+R and \\askeet and you'll connect to that directory to start coding in your favorite PHP editor. Works like a f'n champ! :D I'll also suggest SQLYog and SecureCRT as my two other tools I just can't do without.

Adjust paths/files/usernames/passwords as necessary. Hey! Thanks for replying. I decided to try something else while waiting for a response (still nothing from the main XAMPP forums though) and this is what worked for me, am posting it here so maybe it will help someone else in future (via the archives) facing the same problems that I faced , I dont know if this is a temp fix, I dont think so and it works perfectly for now. Downloaded XAMPP again, installed it in c:/xampp2 (original version was in c:/xampp) copied over all the files needed from the htdocs to c:/xampp2's htdocs in the MySql folder, go into the "data" folder and just copy the files with the DB names that you created, leave all other files alone, paste these files into the c:/xampp2/mysql/data folder... do not overwrite anything, and if you have done this correctly you should _not_ get the overwrite prompt Go to xampp's security page and redo the security including putting the password for root.. I am a bit of a paranoid dude, so i did a complete backup of all myfiles in htdocs and the mySql data folder and burnt it to DVD, you might consider doing thesame...just in case. Thats it! Remember to edit the paths in your scripts for those that need it from xampp to xampp2. A slight hassle, but not one that cant be done in 3-10 mins including copy time.
