Errors with a Drupal Site On Windows

[llbbl]

On Windows. Installed the Apache that comes with Zend Server. Trying to setup a Drupal site to work when I am booted into windows. Nothing in error logs. Had to change permissions on the folder to allow modify privileges for Authenticated Users.

I added a Virtual Host to the httpd.conf file:

Code: Select all

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName sitename.local
   ServerAlias othername.local

   DocumentRoot "C:/Users/Name/Web/site/drupal"
   
   <Directory "C:/Users/Name/Web/site/drupal">
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
      AllowOverride all
   </Directory>
   
</VirtualHost>

Php is working because I can login the Zend Server admin and run php files in the "drupal" folder. It is either giving me a 500 error "Service unavailable (with message)" or its a blank white screen.

Nothing in all the logs I checked.

.htaccess looks normal. Changed some other options in the httpd.conf to allow indexes and allowoverrides.

It is failing after this line in the drupal front controller.

Code: Select all

drupal_bootstrap(DRUPAL_BOOTSTRAP_FULL);

Any ideas?

hmmm. perhaps it is the application because out of the box drupal core seems to be working fine. I added another virtual host for the clean drupal.

For you information.Error 500 in Zend Server Windows version can be many things as well as Application error since PHP runs in Fast-cgi mode error behavior is different from PHP running as Apache PHP module.

I haven't seen problems with drupal site, if you encounter the error 500 it might be that the .htaccess file is wrong.

Which version of windows are you installing into?

Have you installed SQL Express? And did you install it in mixed mode?
