PHP configuration fails on Windows Vista x64

OS: All / Any | Product: Komodo | tags: amd64 komodo vista windows x64
Question:

I am using a Windows Vista x64 system, and get an error when trying to configure PHP for debugging. Is there are fix for this?

Answer:

This problem is because Komodo is installed to the path

C:\Program Files (x86)\

on Windows Vista x64, and php.ini will not allow paths with parnthese characters in it. There are two possible workarounds:

1. Run the debugger configuration wizard and specify that Komodo's php.ini and php_xdebug.dll should both be placed on a safe path, preferably something like:

C:\php5.2\xdebug\

2. optionally reinstall Komodo to C:\Program Files\ instead.

Question:

What is the best version of ActivePerl to use with Windows Vista?

Answer:

The best version of ActivePerl to use on Windows Vista is always the most recent build of ActivePerl 5.8.8 or 5.10.0.

ActivePerl 5.8.8.819 and later versions pass the same suite of tests on Windows Vista as they do on Windows XP and other supported versions of Windows.

ActivePerl's known issues on Windows Vista include:

  • PerlIS and PerlEx are installed but not automatically configured due to differences in the script extension mapping process for IIS
  • the OLE browser will not function with Internet Explorer 7
