Zend Studio

[OneCleverCookie]

Hi,
I downloaded the Zend Studio a couple of days ago and I was trying to get the Zend Studio Server configured and was having trouble. I instinctively un-installed, then reinstalled and the bloody trial program prompted me for a serial number. Evedently, if you re-install, even it the "30 day" trial isn't completed it just locks you out of the evaluation. What a bummer. Am I missing anything here, or should I just chalk it up to another bloated IDE and go on with the business of leaning PHP. I"m going to tell you that on Zends site and others I couldn't figure out how to install that Studio Server, and I'm not a computer noob either.

Well let me know what you guys and gals think?

I don't know anything about Zend Studio. I just putz along with HTML-Kit as my editor and XAMPP installed on my PC so I can test my pages locally.

I suspect if you did a bit of googling you could find something which might fix your problem. </carefully calculated enigmatic response>

I did Google, and I searched all kinds of forums. But the problem is now, is that if did find a solution to the origianal problem, I can no longer use the evaluation. Zend is not allowing me to re-install the evalution, even though I only started using it less thab 24 hours previously. Now you see my problem?

Usually, trial software writes their trial data to the windows registry. So it can compare to the install date to the current, and then decide if your trial has ended or not.

This might be the case here, though I have absolutely no idea how and where to locate that reg entry. (Carefully) searching through the windows registry might solve this problem for you.

Ah So, Master! :)

XAMPP installs PHP, MySQL, Apache web server, and phpMyAdmin onto your PC. When I installed the Windows version on my WinXP-Home pc's, the only tweaking I had to do to get things to run was a couple settings in the phpMyAdmin ini file.

http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.htmlForgive me for highjacking this thread but, Where do I go from there? Do I move the whole site that I'm working on into the XAMPP/htdocs folder? Or is there a way to set up other folders under localhost? I want to make sure that my links to the root work, "/style.css".

You can make subdirectories under htdocs, then reference them as http://localhost/directory/subdirectory/file.php (basically the same as adding subdirectories under your public_html directory on many web sites).

So I can't be working on several rojects at once. I was afraid of that. I was hoping that I could set up different accounts with different roots.

[NogDog]

You could possilbly set up sub-domains, perhaps? (I'm not Apache-savvy enough to know what that takes to set up, though.)
