Hello
Fri
I am new user of easywamp.
Now I am built joomla Cms on the local sever using easywamp.
Everything is ok.
But Now I am facing an error.
That error is begin installation an extension on my joomla.
I can’t solve This error.
Error message is

101 : Your system is running on PHP 4.4, JomSocial only support PHP 5 and above.

Due to easywamp?
Can you advice me something?

Please forgive my bad english usage.

no problem bro.

it’s simple
easywamp include php4 and php5 , no setup needed or whatever .

Goto desktop > easywamp icon > click on php4 — php5

by default easywamp works on php4 if you do the steps above you switch to php5

I think some Joomlas extensions required PHP5 , That’s what Easywamp provides.

thank you,

It is not as easy as that.

Easywamp don’t work with joomla as of version 1.5.17. The main problem is that you can’t login in the joomla administration when php 5.2 is turned on. You can login when you switch to php 4.4.4.

And after I installed the latest easywamp version, I can’t switch back to php5 after using php4, nothing happens when I use the easywapmp switch, still php4. I have to manually edit the httpd.conf file to change back to php5.

Hope you can get easywamp back on track according joomla. Thx for excellent software.

if you change the folders structure or switch manually to php4 or php5 this will screw up everything ……and you can’t switch between php4 and php5 .
so if did that please reinstall easywamp again .

about jommla……. I installed joomla in my local machine and no problems with it.

but for a security issue Joomla 1.5 not works with php4

check this link for more info :

http://docs.joomla.org/Why_can%27t_users_login_in_version_1.5.7_with_php_4%3F

I did not change anything, but as of joomla 1.15.17 you can’t login with PHP5 on an easywamp server. I then tried to reinstall the latest version of Easywamp, same issue.

I have tried this on two different vista machines with same result, so I don’t thin it is my incompetence being the problem.

Only way to login is to first switch to php4, then login to joomla admin, then restart server with php5 while logged in to do admin tasks.

I took the easy way out and installed wampserver instead, works perfect.

Peace out

Hello, I am new to webhosting but not so new to comp programming, I want to ask, can people look into my webpages folder and see what’s inside it? if so how can I prevent that? I want my files to be accessed only through the links provided on certain pages, I don’t want them to be able to open a folder index and see everything in there…

Also (as I said I’m new to web hosting) how can I make an exe app on my computer activate itself when a certain link or file is accessed on my site? as in I want for instance doSomething.exe to be launched whenever arr.zip is downloaded by a guest…

Hi ,
to hide the files inside any folder just follow these steps :
1- open the file X:\EasyWAMP\Apache2\conf\httpd.conf
2- search for Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
3- replace it with Options -Indexes FollowSymLinks
4- save it , restart apache .
5- Now , nobody can see what inside the folders ….that’s it

for the other question you need a php script to do that
the idea is ..while someone try to download abc.zip the php
codes similar to this :

1- check if the requested file is there .
2- if no, error page .
3- if yes , goto 4
4**-exec (“your exe file”);
5-redirect page to download page of abc.zip
6- done
