I know this is not a new question but I think something has changed with Xampp in the latest version. I was using Xampp 8.0 and was using another directory to serve as localhost just fine. My Xampp installation is in C:/xampp while my projects are located in D:\Whip\Projects. This is the folder I want to load when using the address localhost.
I changed 2 lines in httpd.conf like I had done several times before
DocumentRoot "D:\Whip\Projects"
<Directory "D:\Whip\Projects">
The folder loads but PHP doesn't work properly. I get errors related to missing session folders and extensions. The problem is in php.ini file the paths are not absolute anymore. For example, in xampp 8.0 I had
session.save_path="C:\xampp\tmp"
In 8.2 I have
session.save_path="\xampp\tmp"
And same thing with extensions directory and all other paths defined in php.ini (and who knows where else). If I manually add C: to the path above, the sessions start working. I'm apprehensive of changing every path like that. Is there a better way to change the htdocs folder now?
I am running tomcat 7, Ubuntu 14.04, apache 2.4, Java 8. I am trying to hook up apache with mod_jk to use the tomcat application with only the static resources coming from apache.
Apache is running on port 80 and I can see the file structure and all my static resources. But when I go to the naked url, I only see the apache folder structure. In my understanding mod_jk should be forwarding to the ajp port of tomcat instead.
I installed apache2 and mod_jk (libapache2-mod-jk) by using apt-get. It basically did all the configuration for me (at least it looks like it did). I followed some tutorials to install it, but basically just checked and made sure the steps were taken. The main apache conf file is called apache2.conf and it includes all the .conf files from the folder called mods-enabled. Inside mods-enabled, there is a file called jk.conf. This is the mod-jk conf file and it includes a workers.properties file that is held in my /etc/libapache2-mod-jk folder. (I edited the workers.properties file to point to my tomcat home location and my java home)
The one thing that seemed different from most of the tutorials I read was that my mod jk conf file (jk.conf) had no reference to a file called module/mod_jk.so. I don't know what this file is, and why the folder doesn't have a slash in front of it, but that was what it looked like in all the tutorials.
What would really help is if someone has used the apt-get installation of mod_jk on Ubuntu 14.04 (all of the examples I found were for 12.04).
Is the reason it's not connecting because I don't have the .so file?
Am I mistaken about how ajp is suppossed to work, do I need to do any extra tomcat configuration other than have an ajp connector that looks like this <Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8080" />?
I had not added JkMount to apache2.conf. That solved this.
I have recently got a mac an am not used to developing on a mac at all.
I have MAMP Pro 1.9.6.1. I did a locate on php.ini and got this:
$ locate php.ini
/Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.2/php.ini
/Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.3/php.ini
/Library/Application Support/appsolute/MAMP PRO/conf/php.ini
/private/etc/php.ini.default
I changed the name of all of them. Restarted MAMP. It loaded without a hitch (I know odd right?). I am using PHP version 5.2.
All of these files are now different names (done one by one for process of elimination).
So I figure restart the mac. Same, MAMP loaded no problems, even though all of the php.ini files had been move. On Lamp this that wouldn't even load. But either there is another php.ini file I'm missing (quite possible I don't know how to updatedb), MAMP is really intelligent and just pulls in all of them (less likely) or it doesn't use one.
Note: If this doesn't help, check below for Ricardo Martins' answer.
Create a PHP script with <?php phpinfo() ?> in it, run that from your browser, and look for the value Loaded Configuration File. This tells you which php.ini file PHP is using in the context of the web server.
I'm not sure if in MAMP (non-PRO) is the same, but MAMP overrides the modified php.ini everytime it starts.
In my case, I needed to use the MAMP menu to change my php.ini file (File -> Edit Template -> PHP -> PHP 5.xx -> php.ini).
To be clearer (as i read this thread but didn't SEE the solution, also if it was here!), I have the same problem and found the cause: I were modifying the wrong php.ini!
Yes, there are 2 php.ini files in MAMP:
Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.5.10/php.ini
Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/conf/php.ini
The right php.ini file is the second: Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/conf/php.ini
To prove this, create a .php file (call it as you like, for example "info.php") and put into it a simple phpinfo()
<?php
echo phpinfo();
Open it in your browser and search for "Loaded Configuration File": mine is "/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.5.10/conf/php.ini"
The error was here; i edited Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.5.10/php.ini but this is the wrong file to modify! Infact, the right php.ini file is the one in the bin directory.
Take care of this so small difference that caused me literally 1 and a half hours of headaches!
The file you have to edit is in MAMP Pro and uses the php.ini file everytime it starts up.
Start MAMP PRO
Edit File > Edit Templates > PHP 5.3.2 php.ini
Restart MAMP Pro
Your changes should stick.
I don't know if you ever found an answer to this but I DIDN'T need MAMP PRO to do this. Simply goto the correct path by following what others have said. It's something like...
MAMP-> bin-> php-> php(your php version)-> conf-> php.ini
The key here is where you're editing the file. I was making the mistake of editing the commented part of the ini file. You actually have to scroll down to LINE #472 where it says "display_errors = Off and change it to On. Hope this helps any
Just run the following command from your terminal, it will show you your Loaded Configuration File easiest way I have ever found.
php --ini
Change /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.2/php.ini if you are using 5.2 version of php. If you are using the 5.3 php version, edit the /Applications/MAMP/conf/php5.3/php.ini.
If you are using OSX Lion or OSX Mountain Lion, I recommend you using the default installation of apache and php.
Greets!
After running the MAMP server, you have php info link in toolbar
Once click, You will get all information about php
Probably the fastest way to access the PHP.ini for the currently loaded version of PHP in MAMP PRO (v.4.2.1):
Open MAMP Pro
Click on "PHP" under the "Languages" section on the sidebar
Tap on the arrow button right next to the drop-down that lets you select the "Default Version" of PHP.
It depends on which version of PHP your MAMP is using. You can find it out on: /Applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf looking for the configured php5_module.
After that, as someone said before, you have to go to the bin folder. There you'll find a conf folder with a php.ini inside.
example: /Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php5.4.10/conf

After going through all the solutions here, the easiest way to find the loaded php.ini file is to go into phpinfo on the loaded MAMP webpage, which will show you the loaded php.ini file.
This will also confirm if the parameters you change, like max_file_size, have updated correctly.
On my Mac, running MAMP I have a few locations that would be the likely php.ini, so I edited the memory_limit to different values in the 2 suspected files, to test which one effected the actual MAMP PHP INFO page details.
By doing that I was able to determine that this was the correct php.ini:
/Applications/MAMP/bin/php/php7.2.10/conf/php.ini
I only have the non-pro version of MAMP but just because it loads it doesn't mean the PHP file is being found/without errors.
I renamed my php.ini files and MAMP still started but Apache returned several errors.
What are you trying to change in your php.ini file?
I have checked all answers and of course I have used phpinfo() to check the exact location of php.ini. I don't see a File option in the menu bar on my mac. I changed both php.ini and php.ini.temp files in that folder. No vail.
Until I realized that I forgot to uncomment the modified always_populate_raw_post_data line.
I was struggling with this too. My changes weren't being reflected in phpInfo. It wasn't until I stopped my servers and then restarted them again that my changes actually took effect.
I finished installing Ubuntu 10 for netbooks, and XAMPP. The XAMPP website tutorial made it very easy to install, then left me high and dry. Everything works, but I have no idea where to put my handwritten php files.
After a few hours of googling, and trying to understand the file explorer, I realized I have no idea where anything is in ubuntu. For an answer, please don't just tell me "go to "X" directory. I won't know how to navigate there.
I also did a file search for htdocs with no luck.
in XAMPP the default root is "htdocs" inside the XAMPP folder, if you followed the instructions on the xampp homepage it would be "/opt/lampp/htdocs"
I created my project folder 'phpproj' in
...\xampp\htdocs
ex:...\xampp\htdocs\phpproj
and it worked for me. I am using Win 7 & and using xampp-win32-1.8.1
I added a php file with the following code
<?php
// Show all information, defaults to INFO_ALL
phpinfo();
?>
was able to access the file using the following URL
http://localhost/phpproj/copy.php
Make sure you restart your Apache server using the control panel before accessing it using the above URL
When in a window, go to GO ---> ENTER LOCATION...
And then copy paste this: /opt/lampp/htdocs
Now you are at the htdocs folder.
Then you can add your files there, or in a new folder inside this one (for example "myproyects" folder and inside it your files... and then from a navigator you access it by writting:
localhost/myproyects/nameofthefile.php
What I did to find it easily everytime, was right click on "myproyects" folder and "Make link..."... then I moved this link I created to the Desktop and then I didn't have to go anymore to the htdocs, but just enter the folder I created in my Desktop.
Hope it helps!!
Look into the httpd.conf and/or httpd-vhosts.conf files and search for the DocumentRoot entry. If you configure multiple virtual hosts, there may be more than one of those, separated in <VirtualHost> tags.
This will work for me:
.../xampp/htdocs/php/test.phtml
The default location to put all the web projects in ubuntu with LAMPP is :
/var/www/
You may make symbolic link to public_html directory from this directory.Refered. Hope this is helpful.
I work in OSX primarily with mostly PHP. Normally I work locally using MAMP and virtual hosts setup in my httpd.conf so that I can point a browser to http://some-project and have as many projects as I need setup.
We have a project coming up where we need to serve JSP pages and I would like to set up my local apache server to serve only JSP files to Tomcat and everything else to MAMP using the same virtual hosts setup in:
~/applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
So far I have:
Successfully installed Tomcat
Placed mod_jd.so in
~/applications/MAMP/Library/modules/mod_jk.so
Added the module by placing:
LoadModule jk_module modules/mod_jk.so
in
~/applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
Created /Library/Tomcat/Home/conf/jk/workers.properties
and added the following lines:
workers.tomcat_home=/Library/Tomcat
workers.java_home=/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home
ps=/
worker.list=ajp12, ajp13
worker.ajp13.port=8009
worker.ajp13.host=localhost
worker.ajp12.type=ajp13
worker.ajp13.mount=/*.jsp
added the following lines:
JkWorkersFile /Library/Tomcat/Home/conf/workers.properties
JkLogFile /Library/Tomcat/Home/logs/mod_jk.log JkLogLevel debug
to
~/applications/MAMP/conf/apache/httpd.conf
I cannot start my MAMP however when these last two lines are present in my httpd.conf.
Does anyone work like this?
Any tips?
Any clear ideas of what I'm doing wrong?
I've found with MAMP that it won't start unless the log files already exist. I create the path to the log file and put in an empty text document named the same as the expected log file and it starts right up.
