Joomla problem [Solved]

Post by ph0bYx »

Hi guys.
I've recently installed xampp on my WinXP box. Everything went smoothly with the installation and then I installed Joomla (downloaded from the official website). While I was installing I get errors like these:

I have PHP 5.2 installed. I tried with xampp the first time, and I installed Joomla but it was full of these errors, I tried with wampp but the same thing happens.

Anyone got a solution?

the problem is because of PHP5 running in E_STRICT mode, it reports every kind of error and warning there. I don't think you can really fix it in a windows environment, but you could disable "display errors" in php.ini.

:wink:

Code: Select all

error_reporting  = E_ERROR

I've restarted it a couple of times, still the same. I changed the error_reporting = E_ERROR value and restarted after that a few times (even the did a computer restart) still no change. Installed Joomla again, but the same thing is happening.

SOLVED!

It seems that Joomla wasn't compatible with xampp 1.7.2 and installing 1.7.1. version did the trick!
It's running as it should be now :)
