Hi

I'm currently evaluating PhpMagic and am experiencing a problem with creating the database files.

I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium.

I get an 'HTTP 500 Internal Server Error' when the file 'setup.php' is attempted to be accessed.

The error log in the folder that I have installed all my server programs (Apache, PHP, MySql) gives me this:

[Fri Aug 15 05:27:56 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Notice: Undefined index: dbServer in C:\\webserver\\htdocs\\music2\\setup.php on line 29, referer: http://localhost/music2/singers_view.php
[Fri Aug 15 05:27:56 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Notice: Undefined index: dbUsername in C:\\webserver\\htdocs\\music2\\setup.php on line 30, referer: http://localhost/music2/singers_view.php
[Fri Aug 15 05:27:56 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Notice: Undefined index: dbPassword in C:\\webserver\\htdocs\\music2\\setup.php on line 31, referer: http://localhost/music2/singers_view.php
[Fri Aug 15 05:27:56 2008] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] PHP Notice: Undefined index: dbDatabase in C:\\webserver\\htdocs\\music2\\setup.php on line 32, referer: http://localhost/music2/singers_view.php


The lines referred to (29-32) in my 'setup.php' file read as follows:-

// connect to the database
$dbServer=$HTTP_POST_VARS['dbServer'];
$dbUsername=$HTTP_POST_VARS['dbUsername'];
$dbPassword=$HTTP_POST_VARS['dbPassword'];
$dbDatabase=$HTTP_POST_VARS['dbDatabase'];

I'm sure that there is a simple solution to this, but I have had a good look around various forums and tried a few things without any success.

Any assistance would be reatly appreciated.

It's hard to help troubleshoot personal pc issues running web servers. It could be many things to do with configurations.

'HTTP 500 Internal Server Error' is most always a permissions issue.

Check the permissions of the folder and file is at least chmoid 755

Also be sure you have created the database on your mysql server.
