Installation on NAS device

Anonymous — Thu, 18 Oct 2012 11:45:59 -0000

TYPO3Winstaller works only from my HD. I want to install it on my NAS device. XAMPP works without any problems, but in TYPO3Winstaller I get only white pages and PHP errors like "Can not redeclare class...". Maybe there is a path issue.

If myslq can not start, a defunct installation occurs.

If a mysql is already running during installation of TYPO3Winstaller 4.2.3, and that mysql can not be shut down, then the TYPO3Winstaller installation continues nonetheless, which results in a defunct installation. The setup I had was this:
1) As administrator, I had a TYPO3Winstaller running.
2) I switched to a non-administrator user.
3) I started the installation of TYPO3Winstaller as the non-administrator user.
4) During install, TYPO3Winstaller could not shutdown the already running mysql. That lead to the defunct installation.

TYPO3Winstaller will pop-up a warning from typo3start.log, so this is not critical since the user will know something is wrong.

This feature request is posted in the hopes that an even more elegant solution can be implemented.

Upgrade phpMyAdmin to version 3

phpMyAdmin version 3 is out. Maybe an upgrade to that should be done..?

Improvement to deleting instance. Add 'if exists' to SQL

Kasper — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:38:38 -0000

When trying to delete an instance that was not successfully created I got this output in the typo3start.log file:

09:31:35 [Command] - C:\TYPO3_4.2.3\MySQL\bin\mysql.exe "--defaults-file=C:\TYPO3_4.2.3\MySQL\my.ini" --port=8501 -u root --password="" -e "drop database GQuiz"
09:31:35 [Error] - ERROR 1008 (HY000) at line 1: Can't drop database 'gquiz'; database doesn't exist

The error can be turned into a 'note' by using SQL 'drop database if exists ...' (instead of just 'drop database ...'), confer http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/drop-table.html

Upgrade to GraphicsMagick 1.3

Kasper — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 08:09:15 -0000

GraphicsMagick 1.3 has reached stable. Upgrading TYPO3Winstaller to use that might be considered.

Include extensions.xml.gz in typo3temp/

Kasper — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 12:12:02 -0000

When trying to install an extension that has a dependency, the Extension Manager will try to fetch it from TER. Since TYPO3Winstaller does not provide an extensions.xml.gz file, the Extension Manager fails and reports that there were network problems. If an extensions.xml.gz file was provided this would seldomly happen.

I do realize that the extensions.xml.gz file would be outdated, but I think this would improve the overall first-time experience of using TYPO3Winstaller. Furthermore I guess it could be easily implemented.

(Un)Install as Services

Sascha Vogelgesang — Wed, 30 Aug 2006 06:58:58 -0000

Typo3Winstaller is really great but I'm really
missing the option to install/remove apache and mysql
as windows services, so it would be no longer
neccesary to be logged in on the server for the
webserver to be up and running. Great for developpers
on local networks. Thx
