I've been searching high and low for this one, figuring it to be a common noob problem, but nothing. I saw an oblique reference somewhere that xampp's shell won't accept ctrl-c to close an operation but I'd like to confirm.
As it is, I'm running Xampp on a win7 machine and it's set up with the default apache mysql combo. Which is all fine. Except that the command line stops receiving commands once I start a server. So if I want to run another command I've gotta exit the xampp command line and restart it.
Is there a way to abort shell scripts in the xampp shell or is it just a product of the environment it's running in?
Ok, I'm going to consider this solved.
While Xampp locks up once you start a server instance. It's possible to run a server directly through the windows normal command line Start->Run->cmd, while doing other xampp stuff in the xampp shell.

I am running Cygwin64 on two Win10 machines, one Home and one Pro. My software uses tftpd to receive a CSV from a network peer. tftpd is run from init (package sysvinit) with this line:
td:2345:respawn:/usr/sbin/tftpd -vvvvv -L -c -p -u Larry -U 000 -s /tmp
There is no xinetd running, no xinetd or tftp configuration file that I know of. On the Win10 Home system, which is my development system, this works. On the Win10 Pro system, it fails. The client times out. There is no entry in /var/log/messages (syslog-ng). Windows Application Log says "Cannot drop privileges: operation not permitted"
When I stop init and run that command line in a shell, it works and clients can transfer files in. But my system needs the respawn management of init. The pattern was set 12 years ago with Cygwin32 on Win7. My customer is now updating the PC and we have this glitch. If I were developing now, I would put the function on a raspi, but this is just a PC change.
Can anyone recommend a configuration to get the execution of tftpd under init under cygwin under Win10 Pro closer to that of the same command line in a user shell?
Edit 1: I also tried suid. tftpd.exe is owned by the user account, not SYSTEM or whatever cygwin has for root. Suid does not set permissions in a way that solves the problem.
Edit 2: adding cygdrop to the inittab line does not help.
Guess this one will be another tumbleweed. I found no good answers in 3 days of grinding. The problem seems to involve domain vs. local users in Windows, and how Cygwin interacts with the Windows user database, whatever that is. I ended up running the tftp server in an infinite-looping batch file that starts at user login, but is vulnerable to somebody killing the top level shell. Along the way, I recompiled tftpd-hpa for Cygwin and commented out the user ID change - that worked on my PC but not the customer's. If they have problems with the solution I may just retarget to raspi.
I have installed Anaconda under Windows and Ubuntu under WSL. I have not used this Ubuntu installation for a long time. When I tried to run Ubuntu now, I saw the following:
That is, WSL starts a Jupyter Notebook server, which I have to kill by hitting Ctrl-C to get the Ubuntu prompt. What could be causing this behavior?
There are several ways for something to "autostart" when running WSL:
First, you (or an application) may have modified your startup scripts to start the Jupyter Notebook server. To see if this is the case, try starting WSL from PowerShell by running:
wsl -e bash --noprofile --norc
This will run bash without the startup scripts. If this brings you to the prompt without running the notebook sesrver, then the problem is in your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile (assuming bash is your default shell).
Given the symptoms you are seeing, this is the most likely cause. If that's the case, look in those files to see if you can find the line that is starting the server, and comment it out.
Second, and related to the first, do you recall trying to enable Systemd at any point using something like Genie or WSL2Hacks? If so, then I believe they modify your start scripts to run Systemd, which can be used to start other services. However, I would expect those Systemd-executed services to start daemonized, in the background, and not interrupt your shell's startup.
Under Windows 11, services can also be autostarted via /etc/wsl.conf, but again, they would be started by the root user in this case, and in the background. I can't think of a non-pathological way that this could be used to interrupt the user's startup shell experience.
Very often when running ansible-playbook on the Vagrant VM from Windows, I need to stop in the middle of something by pressing Ctrl+C. This happens if ansible becomes unresponsive or there is some bug we need to fix asap, so there is no point of waiting until provisioner completes.
The probem is that Ctrl+C does not work, some 2 ruby.exe processes get stuck in process tree. Any subsequent vagrant commands fail until you manually kill these ruby processes.
I also use to kill all stucked python ansible processes on the VM before running new provision.
Any way to handle it more jently?
I found this problem as well on Windows and using Puppet Apply. The only way I can happily kill it by opening another terminal/cmd and then vagrant ssh -- sudo pkill puppet. That gracefully terminates the process, and allows me to regain control of my first terminal again.
In short the solution is:
Take a terminal that works.
I find one working gitbash v2.32.0.windows..
The latest available gitbash currently is v2.38.1. But only the old one is working correctly with Vagrant(Oracle VM). The strange thing is that the latest one (gitbash v2.38.1) is working fine with SSH connections to AWS EC2 instances.
Alternatively. Windows PowerShell is working fine with Vagrant(Oracle VM).
If someone needs my bad experience, here it is.
The following terminals DON'T WORK
gitbash v2.38.1 (latest for now)
gitbash V2.36.0
ConEmu v220807 Alhpa (latest for now)
cmder v1.3.20.1282 (latest for now)
I propose using vagrant halt.
I've been trying to figure out this problem for a while now and I thought I'd ask it here on stackexchange in case somebody out there has tried this and successfully got it to work.
I'm trying to install a RAD webapp tool called AppFlower through Xampp for Linux.
I am also experiencing issues with the command below:
symfony afs:init
symfony: command not found
This is the final command used to start up the AppFlower Studio dev environment, but this command doesn't work.
I have tried using:
./symfony afs:init
Same error as above
php ./symfony afs:init
gives a php error saying it isn't installed, but this is Xampp for Linux, so that command won't apply
/opt/lampp/etc/php.ini ./symfony afs:init
it will give a permission denied error, but even with 'sudo' in front, it says 'command not found'
The solution posted on the appflower forum is for xampp itself, but the problem I have is that they use the php.exe command to run the 'symfony afs:init' command, which xampp for linux doesn't have. The closest thing I could think of was to use the php.ini file, but (as seen above) that doesn't work.
Hopefully somebody can assist regarding this issue.
Regards,
Note. The process to run appflower on a manual version of lamp (one in which php, mysql, apache are all downloaded separately) is a lot more complex and the xampp installation is supposed to be much easier (in fact it is) but at the last point of this installation, this 'symfony afs:init' command is the only problem.
If you are already using Linux, why not install AppFlower directly. It's pretty straightforward, maybe i lost something on the way, understanding why you use XAMMP for Linux.

I am trying to run a simple hello world script as CGI (from the Beginning Perl book).
i am running to the following problems:
I do not find a folder /cgi-bin/ at any place on my computer (Mac OSX Lion).
I did try changing mode to 755 and any thing i found on the web.
when I try the localhost, I get "it works!" (this means the apache is working o.k)
I saw some advice on changing configurations on apache files and there are confusing
never the less i did try and all did not work.
for instance, the advice to check and uncheck the web button in sharing does no work in
mac osx lion, there isn't a button of that kind any more.
Is it possible to get a step by step guide or help on what to do from the Perl script to actually running it on the web server?
i do not find a folder /cgi-bin/ at any place on my computer (mac osx lion).
You can create one.
The Apache manual describes how to configure it for executing CGI.
when i try the localhost , i get "it works!" (this means the apache is working o.k)
You need to use the URI to the CGI script rather than the Apache root.

Apple did remove the GUI option. Instead of using it, fall back to the command line:
apachectl restart
It is usually a good idea to first check your config file edits with:
apachectl configtest
