install : MysqlDB missing ?

Hi,
First, thanks for all these informations.

=> I did not try the protable version of xampp. I will try it to try and reproduce.

=> Your workaround seems to be good. But I don't understand why. I will invertigate.

=> If you come to the login screen, you're on the good way. If the database is empty, it's normal, it is automatically generated at first login. Just login as admin/admin.

=> all your traces confirm that the issue is raised on the session_start() command. It is very strange as the session_start() is an internal PHP command. There is no reason for it to call a MysqlDB class. The location of error in __autoload function is normal : it is an internal function that fetches the correct class in the correct directory.

=> Just writing previous lines, I just had an idea : could you search in you PHP installation directory for a MysqlDB.php file ? It could be a class used on session_start() in this typical distribution. As the __autoload() changes the place where to look for classes, it could lead to this strange behaviour.

Regards.

Hi,
I try to reproduce, but can not find the lite version on portableapps.com .
I'd like to find exactly the version you installed, to be able to reproduce.
Which version exactely did you download ? (if you have a full link...)
Is it V1.7.4, V1.7.5 (maybe not V1.7.7, which is just 8 hours old...) ?
Installer or zip ?
What is the size of the downloaded file ?

Thanks.

Hi,
I tried with xampp-win32-1.7.5-usb-lite.exe, on usb, running on vista.
No issue.
I will try later on XP PRO.

Just notice that performance is very bad running on USB.
Creation of tables at first run longed more than 2 minutes.
On an EasyPHP, locally installed not on USB, this step last less than 3 seconds on the same machine.

Regards.
