We are currently working on MoWeS Portable III version 0.2.
The biggest change is that the application packages (TYPO3, Wordpress, Drupal etc) of MoWeS Portable II will be usable with it! Moreover, you do NOT have to restart MoWeS anymore to install packages - you can do that during runtime!

Furthermore the menus have been cleaned up a bit and the code is now completely written in Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 instead of Visual Studio 2008.

Check out the screenshot:

Symptoms

• Some applications connect connect correctly to the MySQL database server anymore.

Applies to: MoWeS Portable II, all PHP packages greater 5.3.0

Cause

• After PHP 5.3.0 the IP resolution was changed. When using "localhost" instead of "127.0.0.1" as MySQL server PHP cannot connect anymore the MySQL server.

Resolution
Use "127.0.0.1" instead of "localhost" as database server in any application. Yet, some MoWeS packages have not been updated hence there is still "localhost" used. You need to fix this manually in the application configuration file.

• Open the Windows Explorer and goto the www directory.

• Switch to the application directory that is not working correctly anymore.

• Look for a file that is called "config.inc.php", "settings.inc.php", "config.php" or similar.

• Open this file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad)

• Look for a line that says something like

$dbServer = "localhost";

• Change this line to

$dbServer = "127.0.0.1";

• Save the changes. Everything should work fine now.

Symptoms
You want to use MoWeS Portable III with command line options such as auto start everything and auto minimize.

Applies to: MoWeS Portable III

Resolution
First, MoWeS Portable III accepts several command line options (run "mowes.exe --help" a list):

• --force-path-correction: Forces to correct paths even if paths have not changed

• --auto-start: Starts all packages automatically after the start

• --auto-hide: Minimizes MoWeS automatically after the start

You can combine several command line options.
The easiest way is to create a .bat file in the mowes.exe directory. Open notepad and create new file, e.g. with the following content:

mowes.exe --auto-hide --auto-start

Save the file as mowes.bat (select file type "All files")
