Softaculous


Topic : Xampp Softaculous General Question


Posted By: danielj on September 15, 2017, 10:38 pm
I have Softaculous working in Xampp, I was able to get external domain name servers at name.com to render my web sites from Xampp online through my AT&T NVG510 router, although the so called online help did not work, but the remedy in the end was simple.  Also the online help with setting up my IP address was not of much help but I fixed that too.  So I now have some notes on what I had to do especially with the Win 10 firewall settings. 

I am using Xammp v3.2.2 Apache 2.4.2 with PHP 5.6.31 since when I used 7.1 the suggested Ioncube loaders would not work, however the ioncube_loader_win_5.6.dll loader does work.  ~ Thread safety is enabled.

Two things I have noticed when I load my site from another location, I have Word Press installed via Softaculous and it looks fine on the server PC, however from the remote PC it is not rendering its theme layout and is a mere theme-less white page with text and bad links.

Second thing, I can not get into the Softaculous enduser section and am wondering whats up with this.

If any of you have had these problems I would like to know what your remedies are?  With the Wordpress installation I am wondering about the PHP version and if that has anything to do with it, or do I have to load some extension or module in Apache or PHP, etc.  And if you know what my problem is with Softaculous which works fine on localhost let me know.

Hi,

At the moment Softaculous in XAMPP is designed to work only on localhost and will not work from remove server.

Also Softaculous supports installation of any script only on localhost so it is possible that you have the URL in your WordPress installation has http://localhost and since you are accessing it from a remote host the CSS and JS will not load.
