XAMPP Localhost Joomla Installing Error

Monday, 07 September 2009

If you want to try Joomla 1.5.x on your localhost with XAMPP, and you got the following errors:

C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla\libraries\pattemplate\patTemplate.php on line 1424

C:\xampp\htdocs\joomla\libraries\pattemplate\patErrorManager.php on line 202

That mean, you have installed the newest version of XAMPP server. Joomla doesn't work with PHP 5.3.0, so uninstall the XAMPP server and install the 1.7.1 version, that is using PHP 5.2.9

Download XAMPP 1.7.1 from http://sourceforge.net/projects/xampp/files/ . It should solve your problem.
