Hi All, I'm trying to install moodle on a usb stick. Currently trying WOS installation but when I run start.exe initially Apaches and MySql sart up but Apache then shuts down. Anyone got any ideas on this problem - or an alternative installation i could use.
Many thanks
Ron
RH,
I don't have any idea why Apache is shutting down. The first thing I would look at in this situation is the Apache logs. Then maybe I would look at other logs, like the php log, etc.

Could it be that another web server is currently running on port 80?
Last week I had to check an installation of Moodle with XAMPP ... it had the same problem. I found out that there was a web server running with NERO software instructions ... bad thing ... you install a cd burning software and in the background it also installs a web server.

Make sure that Skype is not running as that can break things.
Assuming you're using Windows, make sure Micro$oft haven't sneaked IIS in while you weren't looking.

Try posting a screen dump here of the processes running on your machine
If you don't want the hassle you can get Moodle on a stick in the UK from here:
http://www.partnershipmatters.co.uk
(If you prefer to ring them the number is 08700 668617.)
For about the price you'd pay for the stick in PC World.
This version uses The Uniform Server rather than WOS (which in my view is more robust) with some tweeks, and has Moodle 1.8+ on it. There is also two hard drive versions, one of which works on a network.
You might still have to sort out your machine if Apache is running elsewhere on it. Usually, it's IIS running on the machine. There's some support with the stick to get you through these common problems.
Is there a particular reason you want it on a stick rather than install on the machine? Indeed, have you installed it on the machine and that's why Apache might be running elsewhere?

Check if tcp ports 80 and 443 are free for use... shutdown skype and pando and try again...
