Hi,

I am new to Zenphoto. I tried to install the latest Zenphoto on XAMPP in my Windows 7 64-Bit system, but it crashes Apache immediately. My PHP is currently running 5.3.1. Can someone guide me in resolving this issue?

Thanks in advance,
J

What errors are in the logs?

This is in the error log:

Thanks!

There have been some strange issues with WAMP on some versions of PHP. I have had problems that would go away when I inserted debugging statements into the code to see what was happening.

What works for me is WAMP 2.2D (apache 2.2.22, PHP 5.4.3, and MySQL 5.5.24) Maybe you should give that a try. We have never installed XAMPP since WAMP was sufficient, so no idea on that combination.

I have installed XAMPP v1.8.1 (the latest I could find) on my local Windows 7 64bit system. All works fine for me. Perhaps your install had some issues? Do you have the correct Visual C++ runtime installed?

Hi,

I installed wampserver 2.2, and it works on that. I did not try to repair my existing XAMPP 1.7.3. Maybe I edited some configurations that could cause a conflict with zenphoto.

Thanks for the help, guys!
