I've never had this issue before. I have a local server setup on a Windows Machine - Windows XP Home Edition. I'm running Apache 1.3.34, PHP 4.4.2 and My SQL 5. Several months ago, I installed ZenCart onto my local server for development purposes - I can't remember what version it was, but it ran just fine. Then I heard that a new version of ZenCart was out, and it was all into the tableless design - which rocks, because the last version I had I had to hack to death to get rid of all those icky tables. So I downloaded it - it was the one dated 9/4/2006. I never got around to installing it until last night. Everything went fine - I just deleted the old one, even dropped the complete database and started completely fresh. I installed it, everythign goes smoothly - until I try to log into the admin panel. When I did that, Apache "encountered an error" and completely shut down. It would not start up again until I completely shut down my computer and restarted it. I thought it was a fluke and tried again - and when I tried to log in, it shut down Apache again.
I rebooted, came to the zencart website, found out there's a new version to download (I figured maybe I had a corrupt file or something), I downloaded it. I deleted all my old files, again dropped the database tables and started fresh and clean. Unzipped the new zencart (dated 10/27/2006) and proceeded to install. Everything went fine. Until - yet - again - when I tried to login to the admin panel, Apache shuts down again.
This isn't looking good. If it does this on my development server, what's it gonna do on the real thing? (Actually, it'll probably work! LOL)
I don't understand, though, why it would be shutting down my Apache server. it's getting extremely annoying. It worked fine before, with the old version. Would anyone know why it would suddenly be doing this? or am I gonna have to revert back to the old one I've got and start hacking away at core files to remove the tables?
