TP 1_beta3, SMF 1.1.8 and EasyPHP 2.0.0 doesn't work together ?

[MisterTutu]

Hello everybody,

I use SMF for several years and I want to add a portal to the forum. Before applying TP on my web site, I am testing on my PC the installation and configuration of TP.

I installed EasyPHP to install a fast development environment. The installation of SMF is ok and works without any problems. When I try to install TP, I have several problems (I made several trys) :

1/ When I apply the mod, after a valid testing, the installation made my apache server stop (omg!)
2/ When I apply the mod, after a valid testing, I wait a very long time for the redirection and I got the following message :

TinyPortal v1.0 beta 3 is now installed/updated.

The database changes have been done already but in this screen you can choose from a few more options available to you as part of the installation:
Available languages for TP v1.0 beta3 (note that all TP 1.0 versions are listed, but choose primary 1.0 beta3)

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in D:\Andraste\Bin\EasyPHP 3.0\www\Sources\Errors.php on line 348

Is this error is due to EasyPHP and my local installation ?
Or did I miss something ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Most likely a settings issue in easyphp. If you don't know how to trouble shoot it, I would suggest you use another one like WAMP.

WAMP works very well... I recommend it over the others.

Thank you for your comments

I download and install wamp and it seems very interesting. I install a new version of SMF from scratch without any problem. Then I install TP : upload package, apply mod, test ok and then... same result.

I have the same error message, and when I clic on a link of TP in the admin section my apache server crash...

Some other informations : I use an HP PC with windows XP.
I'm very surprised and I don't know what is the problem with both PHP environments.

I use WAMP in XP and have no issues with it so far, installed just fine there.

Try downloading a new version of TP. Maybe your copy  is corrupt.

Another download, another test, another crash for apache...

I tested an installation with apache, php and mysql installed by myself separately. After testing and applying mod, seems to work fine except I don't see the TP logo after finishing the installation.

I test the installation by clicking on the TP links in the Admin panel and... my apache server crashed. I'm wery surprised that no body had any errors by installing TP 1 beta 3.

I am very disappointed.

Must be something in your local computer that causes it to crash, several of us here use the same things as you and it work for us, i even tested and upgraded my WAMP and it works just the same as before, no issues what so ever.

I read that Norton Internet security can cause the apache to crash and also kaspersky firewall, perhaps something to look into ? Google holds a lot of answers through a littl bit of search.

Try simply increasing the PHP execution time in php.ini. Since is your local it won't matter if you set it to 5 minutes(300sec).

Sometimes the PC runs a bit slow to fully do what apache asks, especially if you like me, run Photoshop, browsers, email etc.etc. Also, if EasyPHP supports it, set apache and mysql as services, runs smoother then.
