Hello, everyone. We'd love to try OpenScholar (cf. My previous message), but are having a tough time installing it on Windows. We're trying to install OS 2.0-RC1.
We're using EasyPHP, and we've tried both the current version (the one with PHP 5.4.6) and an older version (with PHP 5.2.17). We get tons of messages with pink warnings during the install, and when the install is complete and we try to go to the site, we get a page with hundreds or thousands of messages, for example Warning: MySQL server has gone away query: SELECT data, created, headers, expire, serialized FROM cache WHERE cid = 'themeregistry:openscholardefault' in C: Program Files (x86) EasyPHP-12.0 www openscholar-2.0-RC1 includes database.mysqli.inc on line 169 and then finally, 'Page not found'. We're not complete newbies, because we've managed to get Drupal 7.20 running with no problem whatsoever.
Does anyone know what could be causing this? We just had these problems ourselves. Here's how we fixed it. You'll have to go in and modify your my.cnf and php.ini files to something like the following maxexecutiontime = 300 maxinputtime = 600 memorylimit = 160M postmaxsize = 160M realpathcachesize = 2M keybuffer = 1024M maxallowedpacket = 128M tablecache = 1024M sortbuffersize = 8M netbufferlength = 8K readbuffersize = 8M readrndbuffersize = 4M myisamsortbuffersize = 128M tmptablesize = 320M querycachesize = 192M querycachetype = 1 threadcachesize = 16 maxconnections = 400 waittimeout = 600 Use phpinfo.php to confirm your settings. You will still get warnings. Make sure your permissions are set as loosely as possible. Many of the warnings you'll get are passbyreference errors in php (differences between 5.2, 5.3, and 5.4).
SLOW Drupal over localhost windows7 EasyPHP 64x. Ask Question. Up vote 4 down vote favorite. I've had a very slow Drupal 7 install on Windows 7 64bit virtual. To get that the clear URLs works in Easyphp 1.8 you have to join the httpd.conf file and change this two lines: #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so and.
Just turn them off in the admin panel once you've set up OS or force php to accept passbyreference. That should do it.KA.

By Installing and running Drupal on a local computer, perhapse even your personal machine, can be helpful if you want to learn how to use Drupal without the expense of signing up with a web host. Although installing Drupal on your local machine is similar to the manual web-host installation you will have the added steps of installing the correct Apache, MySQL, and PHP versions.

For the database username and password, enter the username and password you chose. Click the Save and Continue button. After you set up the database, you see the Configure Site page. Upon completion of this form your Drupal site is completely installed.
