Cannot Install Concrete5 on my Windows 7 PC, installed great on my XP box

Permalink
I am sorry if this has been asked before. Very first time here. I tried to find an answer before asking.

I am getting this error at the Support for C5 Request URLs step

Support for C5 Request URLs
concrete5 cannot parse the PATH_INFO or ORIG_PATH_INFO information provided by your server.

I have no clue where to even begin to troubleshoot this error.

BTW..My e-mail address is superdavepctech@msn.com

Are you using WAMP on your PC?

One of our development computers is Win7 64bit using Wamp for the server and Concrete runs fine on the machine.

I am using XAMPP on my Windows 7 Pro 64 Bit system.

Can I download WAMP as well, or will they conflict? I am not real familiar on how to "change" the ports each one uses.

But if I can figure that out, can you have XAMPP and WAMP running on the same 64 bit PC? I would really like to get Concrete5 up and running.

Many thanks!!

I believe there would be a conflict if you have both installed on your machine (both servers running port 80, both mysql running 3306 etc...). Do you do a lot of work with Perl? I believe that is only difference between the two, XAMPP has perl. You could try uninstalling XAMPP if you don't and try using WAMP.

Windows is a bit weird with upper and lowercase table names so if you do install WAMP add this to your my.ini and restart the service, before installing c5.

So if you have XXAMP and WAMP running at the same time, it would cause a conflict. The best option is to install each piece individually and then you can have full control over them. I knowhttp://lynda.com has tutorials on how to do this.

!--uninstall all prepackaged server before doing this.

1. Install Apache
2. Install PHP
3. Install mySQL CE
4. Install mySQL Workbench

url in apache =http://localhost/

Here are the links that I used to install them.

Download mySQL CE and the mySQL Workbench
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/...
Download Apache v2.2
http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi...
Download the most stable version of PHP
http://php.net/downloads.php

Let me know if you need any more help.

Austin!
