I have version 3.3 of MAMP Pro. When I click the icon to change the document root for one of my virtual hosts, it shows all of the blue folders in my Finder as grayed out. There is one exception, I am able to go into Applications/MAMP/htdocs and successfully select that directory.
Why are all the rest of my directories grayed out?
Thanks!
Seems a permission rights issue.
Check who is the runner of your Mamp services in settings (usually you or www/sql).
Check the permissions applied for folders you want to use as document root.
Change permissions to allow the "services runner" to read and write in this folder.
If necessary add this user in Get info window of this folder by clicking Alt and + button at the bottom left of window.
It works for me by adding _www (# World Wide Web Server) group to read and write.
Hope this helps.
I use Weblogic 12.1.3, when logged to admin server I see a tab with label "WLDF Console Extension" when choosing it, I get this message
"The WLDF Console Extension, which provided visual tools to display diagnostic information in this domain, has been replaced in this release by new integrated Monitoring Dashboard and Request Performance tools. For more information on these updates, please consult the online help and release notes for this release..."
How to hide this uselss tab, I have another installtion at work with the same version does not have this tab.
In general the WLDF extension is not installed by default so someone must have put it there and/or turned it on. To remove it there are 2 options:
Navigate to <domain dir>/console-ext and remove the diagnostics-console-extension.jar file. Restart your admin server.
Click the perferences link at the top of the admin console, click the Extensions tab, find the diagnostics-console-extension and disable it
If you ever need it back you can re-enable it or copy it back into your domain directory from the WL_HOME\server\lib\console-ext folder
I am trying to install Xampp win32-1.8.2 on Windows 8.1. I get a message saying" Because an activated user account User Account on your system some functions of XAMPP are possibly restricted." I've tried to change the user account control settings but still the warning is there. And the APACHE does not start. I've also disabled my IIS but still, its not working. What should I do? Thanks.
There are two things you need to check:
Ensure that your user account has administrator privilege.
Disable UAC (User Account Control) as it restricts certain administrative function needed to run a web server.
To ensure that your user account has administrator privilege, run lusrmgr.msc from the Windows Start > Run menu to bring up the Local Users and Groups Windows. Double-click on your user account that appears under Users, and verifies that it is a member of Administrators.
To disable UAC (as an administrator), from Control Panel:
Type UAC in the search field in the upper right corner.
Click Change User Account Control settings in the search results.
Drag the slider down to Never notifyand click OK.
open up the User Accounts window from Control Panel. Click on the Turn User Account Control on or off option, and un-check the checkbox.
Alternately, if you don't want to disable UAC, you will have to install XAMPP in a different folder, outside of C:\Program Files (x86), such as C:\xampp.
You can solve the issue by
Ignore the warning and Install XAMPP directly under C:/ folder. It will solve your issue
You can deactivate the UAC which i don't recommend. It's makes your PC less secure.
As ivan.sim writes in his answer
Ensure that your user account has administrator privilege.
Disable UAC(User Account Control) as it restricts certain administrative function needed to run a web server.
Install in C://xampp.
Problem with the correct answer is in the explanation of point 2., and magicandre1981 writes more about it
Moving the slider down doesn't completely disable UAC since Windows 8.
This is changed compared to Windows 7, because the new Store apps
require an active UAC. With UAC off, they no longer run.
How can we then disable UAC and install XAMPP?
Easy. Go to Registry Editor and navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Right click EnableLUA and modify the Value data to 0.
Then restart your computer and you're ready to install XAMPP.
To disable UAC (as an administrator), from Control Panel:
Type UAC in the search button in your windows the upper right corner.
Click the (Change User Account Control settings) in the search results.
Drag the slider down and select Never notify and click OK.it will work.
There's nothing to be worried upon for this. Like other servers, install xampp somewhere outside of the default Program Files folder of Windows. It shall work fine.
I previously had wamp server installed on my machine and i never understood why wamp server installs itself outside of the default directory. Xampp cleared this, now i have both the servers lying outside the Program Files folder and are running fine.
I don't know if you are still having this problem, but I had the same problem and had a different fix than what was listed in the other answer. I did install XAMPP under C:\xampp\, and my user is an admin, but there was also something else.
I had to manually go give my user full access to the C:\Users\XAMPP\ directory. By default (at least on my machine) Windows did not give my admin user rights to this new user's directory, but this is where XAMPP stores all of it's config files. Once I gave myself full access to this, everything worked perfectly.
Hope this helps!
UPDATE!
In retrospect, I think that I must have accidentally typed in "C:\Users\XAMPP\" as the install folder during the installation process. So I think the most important thing is to make sure that the user you are actually signed into Windows as when you start XAMPP has full access to the folder that it was actually installed to.
I have faced the same issue when I tried to install xampp on windows 8.1. The problem in my system was there was no password for the current logged in user account. After creating the password then I tried to install xampp. It installed without any issue. Hope it helps someone in the feature.
You can solve this problem by installing xampp in different Drive .Instead of C Drive .
Run win+R and type msconfig
Then at tools box launch UAC
Then set it on the lowest level
Then press ok and continue your setup
Finish
change User Account Control setting via control panel
step 1 -: Go to control panel
step 2-: select 'user Accounts'
step 3-: select 'User Accounts' (Control Panel\User Accounts\User Accounts)
step 4 -: select 'Change User Account Control settings'
step 5 -: Drag the slider down to Never notify and after click ok.
I need to install an application (SQL Server Denali, but this is irrelevant) and during the installation, I have a lot of problems with registry... a lot of pop-ups appear telling that i dont have permissions to modify that key of the registry.
I'm administration but seems that with some keys i dont have permission and i have to modify permissions manually. The problem is that there is a lot of registers giving problems.
What can I do? How can i add full control to all the keys of the registry?
I have Windows 7 64bits
Thanks
What's your OS on which you are trying to install?
I have seen security features on Windows 2008 and Windows 7 (which is good but can be annoying as seen by you on popups for permissions). Even though the local user is as administrator with which you are trying to install, on these systems its best to right click and choose "Run as Administrator"
Also you can choose to lower the security level on "user account control settings" (click on start menu button in Windows 7 / 2008) and in the search bar type uac, and lower the security to never notify and bring it back up after the installation.
Hope this helps...
I imported a website made in visual studio express 2008 to visual studio express 2010. When I run the home page I get the following error:
"It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."
When I looked up the meaning of this on Google I read their needed to be a change to the configuration of the virtual directory. Another suggestion was to change the web config files . T
Were these suggestions correct? If so how do I emplement them so that I can view these website pages on my local machine.
To try the first suggestion:
Right-Click MY_COMPUTER, choose MANAGE.
Expand the SERVICES (then IIS) section(s) in the left-hand pane until you can see the directory containing the "home page"
Right-Click that folder and Choose PROPERTIES.
Click the "Create Application" button.
================================ EDIT ADDED after I realized I could edit an answer
No, you can't create an app using the WINDOWS EXPLORER...
So... here's a more descriptive instruction:
Once you've expanded "Services and Apps" the left hand pane should contain (at least) "Services", Indexing Service, and "Internet Information Services."
Click the "+" to the left of "Internet Information Services" and that action should expose (at least) "Web Sites", Again click the "+" to expose (at least) "Default Web Site."
Once more click the "+" to the left of Default, to expose the Virtual Directories.
Hopefully you will find the FOLDER in question (containing your 'Home Page'). Right-click it, choose PROPERTIES, and see the "Create Application" on the "Directory" tab of the window that pops up.
////////////////////////////////\
If You Do Not See your folder in that final list, it is because there is no virtual directory pointing to the My Documents folder that contains your web site (and home page.)
To create a virtual directory, right-click on that DEFAULT WEB SITE (now visible in the left hand pane) Click "New.." and choose "Virtual Directory." Follow the directions offered in the popup window ... i.e. Browse to your folder, etc.
Too bad StackOverflow does not offer the ability for me to add pictures.
If you still have trouble, I can create a set of screen shots for you and put a link to it in another response.
Did the directory tree get jacked up on import? I've gotten this when for whatever reason, I end up with two web.configs in the directories of the project.
