New install runs phpinfo() but not more complicated app

Post by PaulK »

I'm trying to upgrade my localhost development machine (XP sp3). Currently I have an installation of XXAMP with Apache 2.2.8.0 & PHP 5.2.5, which has worked for me for 1 1/2 years.

I am trying to upgrade to the latest Apache 2.2.14 & PHP 5.3.1, this time each installed via the Apache & PHP zipped packages & configured by hand. This works fine when I just test with phpinfo(), but trying to run any real web application, like phpMyAdmin or Wordpress, etc, results just in "Waiting for localhost" for 5 minutes, followed by "Done" & just a blank page.

I've uninstalled & reinstalled countless versions of apache & php, including vc9 & vc6 compiled versions of apache, 5.2.11 php as well as 5.3.1, etc. I've also tried installing the latest version of xampp. None of these installs works on real php apps; only the original version of xampp I installed 1 1/2 years ago.

I'm guessing there is something in either php.ini or httpd.conf that is wrong, but I can't begin to guess what it is, and I have all error reporting turned on & don't get any error reports in the logs.

Does anyone have any idea what might be going on, or what steps I might take to see better what's going on?

Thanks,

Paul

Did you check both Apache and PHP error logs?
