I want to run Bugzilla in xampp on my Windeos server. I searched the net on how to do that but found no real answer. Any experience here? Does it work at all? I also found that Bugzilla installer package (https://wiki.mozilla.org/Bugzilla%3AWin32Install) but I am afraid to run it because it will install Apache as well. Will the xampp Apache and the Bugzilla apache interfere with each other? Is there a good alternative for Bugzilla that runs in xampp?
Thanks!
Yes. You can install bugzilla on xampp. My own experience (on windows 8.1 pro x64) was using bzr. Advantages:
It does not intall Apache
You can easily upgrade/update it.
You can find more info at wiki.mozilla.org
You can download the bugzilla folder to your htdocs folder and configure it. For more details you can refer to the online documentation of Bugzilla.

I am configuring httpd in windows server for load balancing. One of the step in configuration is to download tomcat connector for windows and put mod_jk.so file into modules folder.
I downloaded latest connector of windows from https://tomcat.apache.org/download-connectors.cgi
But after extracting, I could not find this file. I found some steps to build it on some sites, but those steps are of linux environments.
How to get mod_jk.so for windows environment ?
If you want mod_jk for Windows/httpd, then you should get it from the same place you got your binary distribution of httpd.
You probably got it from ApacheLounge, which BTW is not directly-affiliated with the Apache Software Foundation, but has been providing Windows binaries for quite some time and seems to be reputable. YMMV.
I have XAMPP installed on Windows 7 virtual machine. My old PHP version was 7.0.9 with Apache 2.4
I needed to upgrade the PHP version to 7.1.x and I set out reading about how to best to this. In end, I settled with the simple plan:
Stop Apache service
Downloaded new PHP version from official php website. For PHP 7 the 7.1.17 version was listed. I downloaded the thread safe version, as my Apache has thread safety enabled.
I extracted the contents of the downloaded archive to a folder.
I copied and replaced all files in the appropriate folders from C:/Server/php with the new php version files from the extracted archive.
I attempted to start Apache from the XAMPP control panel and the server will not start.
The message "Attempting to start Apache service..." just hangs and nothing happens.
The last entry in the error.log file in C:\Server\apache\logs shows the event when the server was stopped and that's it.
When I check the php version from CLI with the command php -v, the console returns installed php version 7.1.17
I tried different suggestions I read from similar questions, like changing ServerName localhost:80 to ServerName localhost:8080 and copying php7apache2.dll to apache/bin ( as suggested here: Upgrading PHP in XAMPP for Windows? ), alas the issue is not fixed and Apache does not start.
Of course, I also restarted the virtual machine, all the same.
At this point, I'm dumbfounded. Don't know what to do.
I need to get Apache running with php 7.1, as it is required by Magento 2.2.4. I do not want to reinstall XAMPP, as this will be a lenghty process with a lot of risk for more things to go wrong.
Any help is much appreciated!
Alright, so after checking Windows Logs > Application in Event Viewer I saw the error ".. the Apache service named is not a valid win32 application". I downloaded the x86 version of PHP from official website PHP for Windows
Then copied and replaced files as described above, and Apache started successfully.
To see if your Apache version is x64 or x86 open command prompt and cd to your Apache bin directory, in my case C:/Server/apache/bin , then run:
file httpd
My hosting provider's Centos machine doesn't have Apache's 2.4.7's mod_ext_filter installed. I have been waiting a few days for them to install it, but I'm not confident that it's going to happen any time soon. So... I'd like to try to install the mod myself.
I have SSH access to the box, am root, and can do sudo/yum, etc. as needed. I tried a simple yum install mod_ext_filter in the hopes that it would work, but since mod_ext_filter is not a package, it "does nothing."
So, what's the easiest way for me to install the mod_ext_filter(.so) so that I can use the filter from Apache?
Thanks,
John
It turns out that my hosting provider, Liquid Web, needed to recompile Apache from source, and needed to include the mod_ext_filter.c file in the compilation. Once they did this, I was able to implement the filter pretty easily.
I have just upgraded our webserver from PHP 5.3.6 to 5.3.10, and I now want to upgrade Apache as well from 2.2.17 to 2.2.22 (on a Windows Server). How do I go about this in a good way (on a live webserver)? A little downtime is alright, but not too much.
Apache is installed via an MSI installer and I'm not sure how to upgrade safely with the least downtime.
Do I just download the latest installer and install that? And what about my config files? I don't think it's possible to have both instances installed 'next to each other'? Or is it?
For anyone else who searches for this, I found that uninstalling the old Apache (in my case, 2.2.22) from Add/Remove Programs and installing the new version (in my case, 2.2.24) kept all the previous settings.
We had locked down the httpd.conf file and had an application that modified/added files in the "htdocs" directory.
Upon uninstalling and re-installing, all of these files were left unchanged and the new version of Apache Server is reflected.
Download a latest version of apache installer.
Make the necessary config changes.
Run it on a different port, other than your live server.
If things work well, correct the port number, and replace.
It will really take a little down-time.
I did it today on windows server 2012R2, apache was installed from "source" (installer was not used-updated to 2.4.55):
1.Stop apache service
2.Rename apache directory (from C:\Apache24 to C:\Apache24-old)
3.Extract Apache24 folder from zip archive downloaded from apache web site to original location (C:\)
4.Copy conf folder from previous installation to the extracted folder (Copy C:\Apache24-old\conf to C:\Apache24\conf-overwrite)
5.(Optional), if you have any certs copy it from C:\Apache24-old\ to C:\Apache24
6.Start apache service,no issues faced
I got a MacMini at work for development, and was asked to follow this article to install SVN on it: http://developer.apple.com/tools/subversionxcode.html The article assumes that only Apache 1.3 was installed and asks the reader to install Apache 2. I've since learned that the MacMini has Apache 2 already installed. So basically I've installed two versions of Apache 2. The preinstalled one has access to PHP, so I wanted to remove my version, but I'm unsure of how.
My version has httpd.conf stored at:
/usr/local/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
And the preinstalled version has it stored at:
/etc/apache2/httpd.conf, which I believe is an alias for /private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
Thanks for your help
Delete the Apache2 folder from the location you specified, /Library/StartupItems/Apache2, and /Library/Receipts/Apache2.pkg according to:
