I've just downloades MoWeS and unziped all files to folder name "MoWeS" on the root of the pen.

When i try to start MoWeS.exe it brings me a msg box with the information thar MoWeS.exe can't find the MoWeS.ini file.
I've check the folder and there is a MoWeS.ini!!! Why the MoWeS.exe file can't find it?

Tnks...

before I invest too much time and money: Is it possible to use powershell as cgi-interpreter in the MoWes Portable environment, preferably using the "post" method?

<form method="post" action="My_tool.ps1">  should work as it did in perl.

I'm asking because, for political reasons, I am forced to write my scripts in powershell instead of perl (my boss decided that all script code has to be powershell from now on) and I am terribly seeking a simple and portable web-frontend to my ps scripts. I'm someway optimistic, as powershell is available by default in all win7 and server2008 environments.

I'm currently working on an AUSAID project on Kiribati a small island in the Pacific.  Internet access is a MAJOR problem so I'm trying to set up a localised moodle site.  Everything works OK from MoWes and we can get Moodle 2.01 running no problem.  Our problem is the courseware we have been sent and are restoring from is from a version 1.9 moodle site. 

Moodle 2.0 will not restore from 1.x sites.  This is a know problem in moodle and is planned to be rectified in version 2.1 (next year).

Is it possible to 'retro-fit' an older version of moodle? We have downloaded a copy of moodle 1.9 but are not sure how to proceed.

Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated.

There is another "open" source server launcher (but, I couldn't see how to download their source)  called server2go, which auto exits exactly that way (when you close any browser it has launched, it closes everthing down).  I would like to have that feature in my Mowes installation. That server2go is a actually very weak implementation in nearly all respects (so I would never use it), but they have that one feature which is very nice. 

I have your source code and access to the tools to compile a VB6 application, but I don't know what code to alter to make that auto-exit happen. Maybe I would have to poll the external app periodically to see if it has closed, then do a shutdown of Mowes if it has.   Is that some "how to" coding information which you might provide to me?

I download PHPMyAdmin from MowesMixer, then unpack it to the same
directory as mowes.exe, as per the instructions. What next? The
included documentation.html file doesn't really seem to correlate with
config.inc.php

Frustrating thing is that I had already done this once previously, and it
was ridiculously simple - it "just worked", as they say. Now I need to
do it again on what is essentially the same install (a copy of the
backup I made before installing PHPMyAdmin last time) and for whatever
reason it doesn't want to run when I start it now -
although the MoWeS localhost webpage automatically opens now whereas it didn't
before adding phpMyAdmin.

The folder has always been a folder with spaces inside

I'm using MoWeS for a while and I also use Secunia PSI to have always the latest critical updates of my system software.

PSI says, that the Apache Version of MoWeS II is to old an have some critical security lacks. I thought this was ok, but since some days, my virus scanner ist reporting and blocking some attacks to an from my pc, when I have run MoWeS II.

O.K. my virus scanner software blocks the attacks, but maybe it will be helpfull, if you more often update the apache modul or can i just download the latest Apache 2 zip file from the apache homepage and overwrite the Apache files of MoWes with the latest ones ???

1) dialog "installation packages" --> click install
2) dialog "installing packages"
3) note "mowes has started mysql server. please confirm firewall warnings ... " etc --> i click OK
4) dialog (2) freezes, nothing happens
5) after a while note (3) appears again ... and so on ... and so on ...

Mowes/Apache/MySQL/PHP5 are "allowed" in Windows Firewall.

OS is Win 7 Professional 64 bit SP1

Does anyon know how to help? Thank you.

Any chance that there will be an update for the MediaWiki package anytime soon?

The current package version is almost a year old and a lot of versions with security updates have been release in the mean time. The latest version 1.17.0 has been released this week.

It would be very much appreciated if the MediaWiki package could be updated to the latest version.

Cheers,

After a copy to a new folder something whent wrong, my complete wiki is now blank. I still have the previous folders but this doesn't seem to help.

can I recover my data with the "ibdata1" file? This file is 26mb and at fresh install its only 18mb.

All help would be appreciated, I really need to recover this. Some very important data is in there.

kann mir evtl. jemand aus dem Forum helfen?

Das folgende Phänomen erfolgt in keinem festen Intervall, sprich ein paar Mal lässt sich die Software problemlos nutzen und irgendwann kommt es zu dem folgenden Fehlverhalten.

Bei Start der MoWeS Software erfolgt ein Blue-Screen.
Der Fehler liegt im Detail, es werden willkürlich die Dateien php.ini (php5) und/oder httpd.conf (apache) sowie my.ini (mysql) verändert bzw. geleert, so dass das System abstürzt.

Nur durch eine ständige Kontrolle und Einspielen von Backups der o. g. Dateien, vor Programmstart der MoWeS Software, kann ein Absturz zurzeit umgangen werden.
Nervt aber!

Vielen Dank für Hilfe, Tipps & Tricks.
