Moving From LAMPP to WAMP

[eluser]Timothy_[/eluser]
Hello,

I have been working on my ubuntu machine developing my site using LAMPP.

This has worked great.

Now I have moved the whole site to a windows machine running XAMPP and it doesnt work

Symptoms are...

**Site (login screen) comes up as normal. Except it wont let me login, or show any errors indicating wrong password so I think the script is not being properly triggered.

**When i click on links that dont require a valid login session, the URL changes but the login screen remains???

**The codeigniter user manual loads normally.

Does anyone have any ideas as to where I am going wrong. Is it the server config? Is it codeigniter (although I doubt this as the ROUTING, and DATABASE seems to be fine)

Am I missing something obvious?

Thanks,

Tim

Hello,

An update.

I have removed my htaccess file and can now access files using the /index.php/ method.

Question is why when I add the .htaccess file does it not work

Moving onwards in my journey and I have decided to go with WAMP for now.

Unfortunately now Williams template library wont work.

Namely PHP is not parsing tags that look like this <? $title ?>

Does anyone know the name of this convention so I can google it and turn it on in WAMP ?

Hello again,

I would like to finish this monologue with the following.

<? $title ?> are PHP short tags which I turned on in php.ini.

This has fixed everything and I would recommend WAMP over XAMPP any day

Thanks,

Tim

WAMP is easier to use if easy is what you are looking for, but XAMPP has HTTPS functionality by default. I wish there was something that combined the best of both.

Thanks for sharing anyway, sorry I couldn't help, but I always programmed in WAMP, and never had a problem deploying to LAMP, so I don't know what happens in the other way.
