Problems in Installing Pligg on localhost - mysql

I'm facing problem in installing Pligg on localhost(xampp). It seem to install successfully but does not login, as the page freezes. If anyone is familiar with this problem, please suggest me how to fix it. thanks.

Yes this problem is very very common. I similarly have this issue, even to this day. I've tried installation on Windows XP, Vista, and 7, all have failed.
The only way I'm able to work on Pligg is installing directly onto my hosting server. There I don't get any problems, go through the install process and access my site. Check out this quick google search as many of the top links from forums.pligg.com may offer a solution.
Unfortunately though, I haven't found one. To this day I still deploy my Pligg launches onto the server in a sandbox before going live.

I recommend using WAMP Server (Windows) or MAMP (Mac) for testing Pligg locally. I know for certain that both are working fine with the current version of Pligg CMS. I believe that I had some issues when I tried XAMPP years ago, so it may have some default setting that Pligg just doesn't agree with.

Live Server extension is not auto-reloading with WSL2

I'm having an issue with the Live Server extension for VS Code (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=ritwickdey.LiveServer). I'm using WSL 2 for my programming and I have my GitHub repos saved in the Linux filesystems:
\wsl$\Ubuntu\home\myName\Files\GitHub\CSS-My-Site
The issue is that when I make any changes in my project and save, the web page does not automatically reload the way it's supposed to. Now, when I initially run Live Server it does indeed open up my browser and display my page. It just doesn't update after that, I have to refresh manually.
I'm guessing it has something to do with WSL2 because if I move my project folder to my Windows desktop, Live Server works perfectly. I've tried 3 different projects from within the Linux filesystems and none of them update automatically. I've moved all 3 to my desktop, and they auto-refresh just fine. I've also uninstalled and reinstalled the extension, and reinstalled VS Code as well.
I've gone through a couple of posts but none of them seem to have my specific issue. The 2 most relevant were:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/troubleshooting
https://github.com/ritwickdey/vscode-live-server/issues/452
I am running Mullvad VPN and also tried turning it off and the issue persisted. My system information is below:
Edition Windows 10 Home
Version 20H2
Installed on ‎11/‎13/‎2020
OS build 19042.630
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.31.0
It seems WSL doesn't support live reload if the file is in another OS. Please refer the GitHub issue.
The solution is to keep the source and execution in the same place.
I solved my problem just by changing the extension, now I use "Five Server"
I solved it by looking for the local ip of my machine using ifconfig in the terminal, copy the ip, paste it in my browser and then :5500

Two MAMP/Wordpress sites, one with "missing MySQL" error

I'm trying to do some major dev on a two sites I built a couple years ago. They're both just plain old Wordpress installs with some customized themes. I pulled them both down off production today in an attempt to get them running locally to do this dev. First one goes fine. Second one keeps throwing the
Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which
is required by WordPress.
error. They're both running on the same MAMP install on my system, just different directories. So I'm pretty confused as to why there's a difference. Typical "check phpinfo" on server responses to this issue don't really help as they're on the same server and have the same settings. Nothing SEEMS out of place within wp-config or phpMyAdmin. Feeling lost... plz help.
Welp, I'm dumb. My MAMP was defaulting to php 7. Turned it back to 5.6 and now I'm in business.

MySQL is not working after Windows 8.1 update

I have Wamp Server 2.5 installed and it was working fine until my Windows 8.1 update. After the update the Wamp Server has became very slow. I have searched for the solution the whole night and tried every possible solution but no joys :( I re-install wamp, disable IPv6, removed cache, etc. I tried to install Xampp Server then but it has the same issue. I came to know that the issue is with MySQL. Whenever I access my project which requires connection with database it doesn't respond but whenever I access any static page it works normally. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks in Advance
localhost may be needed to replace with 127.0.0.1 in your program
'Listen 80' need to replace with 'Listen 0.0.0.0:80' in httpd.conf

MySQL5.6 stuck on the process " attempting to start service "

I got a community server version of MySQL5.6 for windows7 32 bit.
and also downloaded windows installer for the same windows version.
Everything was prepared correctly.
I saw on a blog giving me a step-by-step manual for installing MySQL 5.6 on winodws7 32bit.
I did the instruction accordingly and it always stops processing in the phrase of starting service. I completely don't know what the problem is.
I googled it for like three hours and got nothing relevant to this problem.
It never processes any further without any kind of alerts, no matter how much I wait.
Please help me out.
My OS
Windows7 Ultimate K 32bit, Service Pack1
TURN OFF WINDOWS FIREWALL COMPLETELY BEFORE INSTALLING
This was one of the only threads I could find on this issue and the current answers did not cut the mustard for me.
MySQL 5.6.21, both x86 and x64, did not want to get past "Starting Server" and would give me the "MySQL install taking longer than expected" message.
I tried all of the registry cleaner, folder deletions, etc to no avail.
I am running Windows 7 x64 and I finally decided to check the event viewer to find this:
0x80070422 turns out to be some unspecified firewall error and boom, it struck me like lightning.
I hope this post helps future visitors!
Have you installed other version of MySQL before? I have experienced this case ,but I installed MySQL5.5 and uninstalled it. I solved it by clearing regedit and deleting the folder of MySQL in the directory(C:\ProgramData.This directory is hidden by default in Windows.),then reinstalled it.
Follow this link http://tadeparti.com/pages/?page_id=808.
And do remember to delete everything under the C:\program files\mysql folder, including the odbc stuff if you have.

webmatrix unable to connect to localhost:port

No idea what's happened here - I've been using Webmatrix to build a wordpress site - everything has been going nicely. Powered off the machine last night, now today am unable to run the site.
Firefox gives me this error -
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost:portnumber.
I've tried running other sites from Webmatrix, no joy. Uninstalled xampp. Windows firewall is off, Norton firewall has the appropriate exceptions.
Where has localhost gone? Anyone?
EDIT: reinstalled Webmatrix, no change. Reinstalling MySQL atm, will see if that helps.
EDIT: nup. Clean install of Webmatrix, MySQL and wordpress makes no difference.
All seems to be working again - rebooted, swore a little, had a coffee and boom, back in business. I think it was the swearing that helped.
Thanks for the suggestions
