Good evening everyone, I been workin' on Ubuntu server, and I work from a remote pc that uses Windows XP Pro and ubuntu 9.10 too...ok the thing is...I installed joomla 1.5 last version on the ubuntu server from my pc and everything was good until I had to fill the ftp information, never found the connection path so I installed without it...now I have my joomla but I want to install some extensions and here's the problem, with the FTP Filezilla runin' on windows I connect perfectly with the server as with SSH in Ubuntu, but when I try to fill the FTP information on joomla, it doesnt recognizes the path, any idea about it?...
If it's 1.5, you really don't need the FTP in the Joomla configuration set.
Try this: disable FTP in Joomla. (Global Configuration / Server)
Then try to install a component / module / plugin / whatever.
It's a bit counterintuitive, but will most likely work - or at least it does in my experience. Joomla's file system can manage files for you... it's that whole content management system thing.
If you're dead set on enabling FTP, then check the Global Configuration, and see what the :Path to Temp-folder: is set to. In 1and1's case, it'll be something like:
/homepages/26/d264424517/htdocs/english/tmp
Strip the 'tmp' and you'll see where '/english' would be the root path for the FTP setting, but again you most likely don't need it.
Please read the FTP Layer hints on the Joomla! forum. The info here had helped me resolved similar problems in the past.

This might be a silly question, but I'm new to web-dev, so here it is:
I recently installed MAMP on my windows system [yes, MAMP works on windows too] and it shows Apache and MySQL server to be active, but neither I have installed any of these servers, nor I can find them in "Services" of my system.
So I wanted to ask whether I'll need to explicitly install both of these servers or not.
Also, If there's no need of explicit installation, how does MAMP work ? like, giving access to both these servers without actually installing them ? [A brief explanation would be enough]
T.I.A.
They come with MAMP. You can access phpMyAdmin under the Tools menu in the page that automatically opens up when you start MAMP, for me it is http://localhost/MAMP/?language=English
I've been here before and even wrote an article on how I was able to connect Coldfusion 2018 with Mac OS X Mojave, but since the upgrade to Mac OS X 10.15 Catalina, I haven't been able to get Coldfusion to work correctly on virtual hosts (ie. http://local.mylocalsite.com).
Goal: install Apache connector for Coldfusion so that I can run my dev site from within the /Sites folder like I would any other site.
Problem: Apache is working and I can access websites from the /Sites folder using the virtual host (ie. local.mydevsite.com), but although Coldfusion is running (I can access the Coldfusion Administrator), my computer does not seem to recognize that Coldfusion is supposed to run. I don't know if this is Apache or Coldfusion's responsibility.
What I've tried: I've tried using the GUI connector, as well as trying to confirm the settings via command line. I have XAMPP installed, which I believe that DesktopServer (an application by ServerPress) is relying on, but that's probably not relevant; but what I'm getting at is that I believe XAMPP relies on Mac's default installation of Apache.
I've also tried to go into every file that is referenced in any instruction document to determine if there is anything out of place. Part of my confusion is that there are many instances of some of these files and I'm not sure which one is active. Here are some of the files I've looked into:
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/etc/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/conf/httpd.conf
/Applications/XAMPP/xamppfiles/apache2/conf/mod_jk.so
/private/etc/apache2/httpd.conf
/private/etc/apache2/mod_jk.conf
/private/etc/apache2/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
From what I can tell, the main settings for Apache are stored in the /private/etc/apache2 folder, but I want the XAMPP version of https-vhosts.conf because that's where DesktopServer is pulling their virtual hosts from. Regardless, I don't think it matters which vhosts file is being used because Coldfusion won't run on any of the local sites from my /Sites folder that are loading correctly when I visit local.anylocaldevsite.com.
Thoughts? This is either a really dumb question because no one else is asking it, or there aren't many Mac users who also use Coldfusion. Would love assistance if anyone has a clue. Thanks!
Update: This isn't an exact answer, but the recommendation to try CommandBox was a win. I installed CommandBox and then ran the "ColdBox" application in the root of my project and the site opened up in my browser like a gem. Wonderful. Thank you! I can call that the "answer" if no one objects, but I know that it's more of a workaround than an exact fix.
I'm extremely new to building websites. I'm attempting to create a website using Joomla (and a Joomla template) and plan to use a webhost, bluehost.com. Do I still need to download XAMPP if I'm using bluehost? What's the point or use of XAMPP?
No, you don't need it. The likes of Xampp and Wamp are offline development environments that allow you to develop on your computer/localhost. So rather than making any changes to a live website that might result in the site breaking, you can simply take a backup, set it up on your localhost and testing your changes there. Be sure that you configure your localhost to use the same server settings as your live host as there might be some potential differences that may prevent things from working.
Seeing as you're new to web development, my advice would be to set up a local environment using either Xampp or Wamp, build your site on there, then move it to your live host when you feel ready to.
Charette,
Just have Bluehost install joomla for you. Install the free Akeeba backup yourself, and then start playing around with the demo content.

Finally after much research when I couldn't get anything, I'm posting here. I'm trying to install magento on wamp server version 2.1. I extracted the Magento CE 1.7.0 to 'magento' folder in c:\wamp\www. I checked the dependencies and they are all compliant. When I try to access magento through
http://localhost/magento/, the url changes to
http://www.localhost.com/magento/ and I get a Connection was reset error.
What am I missing? If any other information is needed, please let me know.
Please check out your error logs (probably in C:\wamp\logs).
Magento itself should not run on windows (it's possible, but requires a lot of work to get all the PHP modules running).
I would suggest you to install it on a linux/unix server with an Apache installed from the packet manager (no preconfigured packages like LAMP, XAMPP, etc...).
If you don't have access to a linux box and don't have a server try a VM (like VirtualBox).
Trust me, running Magento on linux will be way easier then on windows ;-)
What is a good piece of software to be able to have a set of files hosted from a localhost on Windows 7?
IIS 7 - really easy to use and it comes with a default website already setup. Just drop your files in and right click the site, then click start.
If you are interested in a LAMP port for Windows (preferring Apache over the built-in IIS) check out XAMPP. It bundles everything you typically need on a web server: Apache web server, MySQL database with web admin UI, PHP and Perl languagues, FTP and mail servers.
There is also WAMP, but I have no experience with that.

You can install it, then install php ect. as you need them...
If you're looking for ASP/ASPX then either use VS internal web server, or IIS.
Assuming that your looking for a PHP/Apache/MySQL environment, I would recommend EasyPHP. It comes with the latest version of PHP, Apache, MySQL, Phpmyadmin and a pretty easy to use admin panel.
easy php is good stuff, my problem with it is that its just toooo slow... but the features are nice, sometimes you'd not mind the slowness because of the features on the Admin Panel that comes with it... But if you're looking for speed... then XAMPP or IIS is the way to go...
if you install them both you gonna need to configure the Apache and give it a port that does not clash with IIS...
