Hello,
I have a big problem trying to install lams on my computer and make it work properly.
The files i use and install (in this order shown below) are the following three:
1. jdk-6u11-windows-i586-p.exe (java)
2. xampp-win32-1.7.3.exe (XAMPP)
3. LAMS-2.3 (lams)
Everything is left on the default settings, apart from the mysql directory that i have to specify myself which in this case is C:\xampp\mysql.
I just want to try out some thing on lams so for the time i only need to work on my computer therefor using the localhost and nothing more.
After everything is installed, i open up the xampp control panel, activate the mysql service ("start") and finally open firefox where i input the following address:
http://localhost:8080/lams/
The first time i did that, lams worked fine.
I input username and password "sysadmin", made a test lesson, saved it and logged out. But that was it. Any other time i tried to log in again, i got an error message telling me that the password/usename is incorrect and then i could not even see this page. So now, the only thing that i get is the "problem loading page" page, with the following known message:
"Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:8080
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web."
I really need your help, i think that i am out of new ideas?
Anyone? I have checked my firewall (windows firewall) and it is not blocking firefox. I also added an exception on port 8080. Nothing changed.
On port-check (xampp) the port 8080 is free.
And something else:
Could you please clarify me where exactly my work is saved?
Which directory keeps my newly created files?
Additionally, is there a file where i can see the stored username/password that is to be used to login on localhost?
I would really appreciate any suggestions/solutions...
Thank you in advance.
