The full XAMPP package includes: Apache MySQL PHP + PEAR MiniPerl OpenSSL phpMyAdmin XAMPP Control Panel Webalizer Mercury Mail Transport System FileZilla FTP Server SQLite ADODB Zend Optimizer XAMPP Security XAMPP Lite leaves off the additional packages and sticks to Apache, mySQL, phpMyAdmin, SQLite and related packages resulting in an installation that's significantly smaller. There are no upgrade packages for XAMPP Lite like there are for XAMPP, though. 2490e41ec24eaa5baf9ff02a551e876e Sep 5, 2010, 10:32 PM http://www.gossamer-threads.com/forum/Products_C9/Links_2.0_C2/Installation_--_Windows_F3/Re%3A_%5BBabiesOnline%5D_Links_SQL_runs_fine%2C_2.0_not_P309679/?page=unread#309679 3 down vote Instead of running your production server on Linux have you considered to run rails on Windows? I am currently developing an application using SQL Server and until know it seems to run fine. These are the steps to access a SQL Server database from a Rails 2.0 application running on Windows. The SQL Server adapter is not included by default in Rails 2. It is necessary to download and install it using the following command. gem install activerecord-sqlserver-adapter --source=http://gems.rubyonrails.org Download the latest version of ruby-dbi from http://rubyforge.org/projects/ruby-dbi/ and then extract the file from ruby-dbi\lib\dbd\ADO.rb to C:\ruby\lib\ruby\site_ruby\1.8\DBD\ADO\ADO.rb. Warning, the folder ADO does not exist, so you have to create it in advance. It is not possible to preconfigure rails for SQL Server using the --database option, just create your application as usual and then modify config\database.yml in your application folder as follows: development: adapter: sqlserver database: your_database_name host: your_sqlserver_host username: your_sqlserver_user password: your_sqlserver_password Run rake db:migrate to check your installation. If everything is fine you should not receive any error message. 87c462101aa1d2ae982222bd5234572b Sep 5, 2010, 10:29 PM http://www.gossamer-threads.com/forum/Products_C9/Links_2.0_C2/Installation_--_Windows_F3/pages_did_not_build_but_no_error_showed_P307204/?page=unread#307204 Well, I am starting up another website, been out of it for 5 years and I am installing links 2.0 on windows first on my personal computer to get the website fully running first then transferring it to a free webhost. Anyways, I searched the posts for this problem and can not find it. I am using Abyss Web Server, on Windows Vista. I added one link to Links 2.0, built the pages no error, but the pages were not built. I know I am missing something. Please Help! f2177ee2af726d4e32a853a965d371e4 Sep 19, 2009, 4:00 PM http://www.gossamer-threads.com/forum/Products_C9/Links_2.0_C2/Installation_--_Windows_F3/Re%3A_%5BSevenSpirits%5D_Links_2.0_and_xampp_P298929/?page=unread#298929 Glad you got it!

I removed .htaccess and .htpasswd files in admin directory 2. First line in CGI files: Instead of : Code: #!C:/xampp/perl use: Code: #!c:/xampp/perl/bin/perl.exe Now it works fine!

The idea of my example was to preserve the origin directory structure of the web server installation . I will check and post the entries of the log files later. Andreas Dr.Windows 18c287dd1a604251691baa48f81f0025 Oct 22, 2007, 12:41 PM http://www.gossamer-threads.com/forum/Products_C9/Links_2.0_C2/Installation_--_Windows_F3/Re%3A_%5BSevenSpirits%5D_Links_2.0_and_xampp_P298919/?page=unread#298919 I looked over the documentation here: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html , question#8. According to that, the Links scripts should be in /xampp/cgi-bin , not /xampp/htdocs/cgi-bin : Code: $db_script_path = "C:/xampp/cgi-bin/admin"; $db_dir_url = "http://localhost/cgi-bin/admin"; $db_cgi_url = "http://localhost/cgi-bin"; $build_root_path = "C:/xampp/htdocs/public_html/links"; $build_root_url = "http://localhost/public_html/links"; $build_image_url = "http://localhost/public_html/links/images"; But as I said, I have not used this, and am not familiar with how xampp is set up. Did you check any entries in the xampp\apache\logs\error.log or the access.log? You might try posting in their forum: http://www.apachefriends.org/f/ Leonard aka PerlFlunkie a01ed5abb93328c11af46b0b2080ef7e Oct 22, 2007, 10:33 AM http://www.gossamer-threads.com/forum/Products_C9/Links_2.0_C2/Installation_--_Windows_F3/Re%3A_%5BSevenSpirits%5D_Links_2.0_and_xampp_P298918/?page=unread#298918 I forgot to post the error message: Error 500 Andreas Dr.Windows 221ae5c79aa31688a024d86e0ef2dca2 Oct 22, 2007, 5:50 AM http://www.gossamer-threads.com/forum/Products_C9/Links_2.0_C2/Installation_--_Windows_F3/Re%3A_%5BPerlFlunkie%5D_Links_2.0_and_xampp_P298917/?page=unread#298917 Hi Leonard - thank you for your reply. I installed links completely in the directory : C:\xampp\htdocs\public_html\ . Relevant parts of links.cfg : Code: $db_script_path = "C:/xampp/htdocs/public_html/cgi-bin/admin"; $db_dir_url = "http://localhost/public_html/cgi-bin/admin"; $db_cgi_url = "http://localhost/public_html/cgi-bin"; $build_root_path = "C:/xampp/htdocs/public_html/links"; $build_root_url = "http://localhost/public_html/links"; $build_image_url = "http://localhost/public_html/links/images"; Now I have a curios problem: nph-build.cgi works (fine) if I commet out #&parse_form and start the script from the command line. It doesn`t work if start with the browser : http://localhost/public_html/cgi-bin/admin/nph-build.cgi. admin.cgi doesn`t work if started with the browser. If start from the command line (perl -w admin.cgi) I receive an error message : db_utils_pl: Use of uninitialized value in string eq at C:\xampp\htdocs\public_html\cgi-bin\admin\db_utils.pl at line 562 The problem is probably the call of sub &parse_form in admin cgi. admin.cgi: Code: #!C:/xampp/perl # #-/usr/bin/perl #-/usr/local/bin/perl # ------------- # Links # ------------- # Links Manager # # File: admin.cgi # Beschreibung: This is the administrative interface for the links program. # Author: Alex Krohn # Email: alex@gossamer-threads.com # Web: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/ # Version: 2.01 # # (c) 1998 Gossamer Threads Inc. # # This script is not freeware!

Can somebody help me? Some things seem to work, somethings don't.

The guy who is setting up links 2.0 for me, asks me to: "We need "Control panel" 1. Link or url 2. User id/password to do the modification. Kindly send the same at the earliest." How do I register? The URL in the Links 2.0 readme file doesn't work! http://gossamer-threads.com/scripts/register/ Is there something I have missed?

I found this in nph-build.cgi Code: sub build_check_dir { # -------------------------------------------------------- # Checks the directory before we create it to make sure there # are no funncy characters in it. my ($root, $dir) = @_; my $chrs = quotemeta ("/_-"); if (! -e $root) { &cgierr ("Root directory: $root does not exist!"); } if ($dir !~ m,^[\w\d$chrs]+$,) { &cgierr ("Invalid characters in category name: $dir. Must contain only letters, numbers, _, / and -."); } return $input; } &cgierr ("Invalid characters in category name: $dir. Must contain only letters, numbers, _, / and -."); I belive this was to fix it. I sure would like to get this fixed, Meanwhile I will start looking for a script that works because from what i have read, No one knows how to fix it. 55dfb145da1e2c28388aa2cc8cc4ae1a May 23, 2007, 7:53 PM http://www.gossamer-threads.com/forum/Products_C9/Links_2.0_C2/Installation_--_Windows_F3/Re%3A_%5BPerlFlunkie%5D_Name_(Invalid_format)-%3F_P297073/?page=unread#297073 Yes this is a new Install. as long as it is only one word it works fine.

Is this a new install, or one that you know works? I see no problem with your category name, the script should accept it.
