Title: Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
Post by: squattinbull on April 12, 2010, 09:28:06 am

Hello all,

I just recently changed my OS from Vista Home Premium to Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.  Bebot worked fine on Vista Home Premium.  I set up mySQL same as before and started up the bebot engine after PHP was installed.  And the picture is what I get.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all,

~Bull~

Possibly firewall issues, I've tested on Windows 7 beta 64 bit (I used xampp) without problems so I know it is possible.

Try setting your MySQL server to 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost.

Other than that it is likely a firewall issue, or as someone has mentioned somewhere, that Windows 7 no longer maps localhost to 127.0.0.1 by default. I have however not verified these claims.

I have fixed the issue.  :)  Thanks guys.

Let it be known the fix for this, is to change:

Code: [Select]

Database server (usually localhost)
*/
$server = "localhost";
TO

Code: [Select]

Database server (usually localhost)
*/
$server = "127.0.0.1";
Change this line in the MySQL.conf file under the conf folder and works like a champ.  Be sure to still follow the standard set up as described here:
