Topic : Ampps 3.5 on Mac and invalid path/missing file to python.conf


Posted By: kosmiq on August 22, 2016, 8:30 am
Hey all,

I ran the update from http://www.ampps.com/wiki/How_to_update_Ampps_Manually and upgraded from 3.4 to 3.5 just now (first time that actually worked for me...). All went smooth until I tried starting Apache. Nothing. Just nothing.

So I started restoring default configs and various stuff. No go. Then I started googling and found a thread where someone was recommended to run

Code
sudo /Applications/AMPPS/apache/bin/httpd


in the terminal. Said and done. And an error message appeared

Code
httpd: Syntax error on line 568 of /Applications/AMPPS/apache/conf/httpd.conf: Could not open configuration file /Applications/AMPPS/python/python.conf: No such file or directory


And there really was no python.conf file in that directory. So I copied the one from Ampps/conf folder and pasted into the python dir and everything is fine.

So either a file is missing or the path in httpd conf is incorrect.

Just thought I'd let you know.

So more problems manifested themselves today. All php.ini files for all versions except 5.3 were empty. And by that I mean that the files had excactly zero rows. Restoring default config had the same effect.

If I started adding extensions for a PHP version those lines were added but nothing else. Solved by opening the default config files and copy-pasting into the the respective version files. Very odd.

I have also noticed that the AMPPS program file inside "Ampps" in /Applications on Mac does not have an icon, but the folder does (and so does Amupdate).

I might add (since I can not edit) that the PHP.ini with empty configs was discovered today since I hadn't switched versions for a while.
