Neos with XAMPP success!

Using Neos & Flow
1

I Have a tutorial as in
https://flowframework.readthedocs.io/en/stable/TheDefinitiveGuide/PartII/Installation.html
set uped. I am using a Windows system and XAMPP. However, when I go to Web/index.php I get a view of XAMPP.
I have set then in the file
$_SERVER[‘REDIRECT_FLOW_ROOTPATH’] = ‘http://localhost/tutorial/Web’;
set. But I still don’t see anything.

What do I have to do to see Flow on my Windows /XAMPP.

Thanks

i would not recommend using flow + native windows to an flow/neos beginner

it just complicates some things (of course its possible …)

i have good experiences with wsl2 + php + mariadb or ddev + wsl2

Did you try the xampp tutorial on XAMPP Setup (Windows) - Installation & Development Setup - Neos CMS - Neos Docs ?

Thank you for the answers.

@Mark S: Unfortunately, I only have a Windows system and have to get it regulated with Windows.

@Sebastian Helzle: Yes, I worked through that as well.

At the moment I get the error message in the browser: Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access this resource.

wsl is basically linux inside your windows supported by microsoft.

maybe Running Neos / Flow on Windows 10: Success! helps?

or just search this discuss for “windows” or the current error message youre getting :wink:

I have adjusted the httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
       DocumentRoot c:xampp/htdocs/tutorial/Web/
       ServerName dev.tutorial.local
       SetEnv FLOW_CONTEXT Production
       <Directory "c:xampp/htdocs/tutorial/Web/">
              Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
              AllowOverrideAll
              Require local
       </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

Result:

Forbidden

I finally got it working!!! On Windows with XAMPP, I’ve just seen the Welcome page.

Thanks for your support.

maybe you can leave here some tricks for the future (we could even put them on the docs)

Here’s how I did it to make it work on Windows/Xampp.

In the httpd.conf:
(c:/xampp/apache/conf/httpd.conf)

<VirtualHost *:80>
      DocumentRoot c:xampp/htdocs/tutorial/Web/
      ServerName dev.tutorial.local
      SetEnv FLOW_CONTEXT Production
	SetEnv FLOW_PATH_TEMPORARY_BASE "C\\:tmp\\"
	<Directory "c:xampp/htdocs/tutorial/Web/">
		Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Require local
	</Directory>
</VirtualHost>

In the php.ini; corresponding dll in: c:/xampp/php/ext

extension=php_yaml.dll

[XDebug]
zend_extension = xdebug
xdebug.mode=debug
xdebug.start_with_request=trigger
xdebug.remote_autostart = 1
xdebug.profiler_append = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable = 0
xdebug.profiler_enable_trigger = 0
xdebug.profiler_output_dir = "c:\xampp\tmp"
xdebug.remote_enable = 1
xdebug.remote_handler = "dbgp"
xdebug.remote_host = "127.0.0.1"
xdebug.remote_log = "c:\xampp\tmp\xdebug.txt"
xdebug.remote_port = 9000
xdebug.trace_output_dir = "c:\xampp\tmp"
xdebug.remote_cookie_expire_time = 36000

Very important: In the httpd-vhosts.conf: (c:/xampp/apache/conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf)

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>
	ServerName dev.tutorial.local
	DocumentRoot "c:/xampp/htdocs/tutorial/Web"
	<Directory "c:/xampp/htdocs/tutorial/Web/">
		Options +Indexes +Includes +FollowSymLinks +MultiViews
		AllowOverride All
		Require local
	</ Directory>
</ VirtualHost>
