PROBLEM: Scoop is blocking my XAMPP

famousmag · January 6, 2024, 8:15am

Hey guys,

I’m on wappler 6.0.5 stable , windows 10 and I’m facinf a serious (for my standards) problem.

Yesterday I created a new php project to have for tests…
It was a long time to create a project and wappler had a lot of checks and changes to do…
(ask for a few assets to be installed)
Anyway among others, I noticed that “Scoop” was installed…
I had hard time to make it work but i did what I needed.

Today I opened wappler to work on my previous project (also a php one) and when I start Apache on my XAMMP, I get this window poping up and the most important:

my XAMMP localhost doesn’t work…

And I click OK but it always comes up until I stop my XAMMP apache…

because it is in Greek I’ll try to translate that message:
(title) httpd.exe - The entrance point was not found

The entrance point zend_zvai_value_nme of the procedure was not able to be detected in the library’s dynamic connection.
and the path for a file (related to that “scoop” that was installed yesterday…

Please any kind of help would be much appreciated

UPDATE:
My previous project was set to Own Server and can’t have access to it through my XAMMP localhost…

The new project I seted to Wappler Local Server and I can access it through my http://localhost:3000/index.php

ON BOTH CASES as soon as start my XAMMP apache, I see this popup window with the “scoop” warning

Please help…
How to uninstall this “Scoop” or fix this problem?

Scoop is the auto installer used by wappler to install dependencies and is pretty much essential.
I notice you are using XAMMP but have selected wappler own server in config.
Should this not be custom?

Hi Brian,

Thanks for replying brother!

Yes, I googled it and find out what sccop is. But still, I’m just trying to find out what happened…
This happened while working on my newly wappler installed on my PC.
My laptop work fine.

Once you mentioned it, I rembered that I had created a Wappler Local Server project on my Laptop and worked fine!

Now, I’m on my laptop and share a screenshot of both ways working:

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT:
When I start my XAMPP apache it doesn’t through me any popup alerts…

Anyway, we are not supposed to work in both ways but making sure that it is not the sourse of my problem and the XAMPP alerts of about 8 files (.dll) in this path:

One thing I know for sure: MY XAMPP is not working any more on my PC…
I tried to change ports but nothing…

I will try to reinstall XAMPP and see!

If anybody have an idea would be much appreciated!

well you should just choose to either use the Wappler Local PHP Server or XAMPP for your project. You can’t use both.

Thanks @George for your answer and confirming what I should not do!

But my problem is still there…
I can’t access my localhost.
Any idea on that direction?

Because this setting is wrong to use XAMPP:

It should be:

famousmag · January 9, 2024, 5:30pm

OK Brian, I got it brother, I won’t do it again.

But I have to find what caused XAMPP not to work… Its just like php was screwed up!

Now, without even opening Wappler:

if I start XAMPP apache 7-8 popup alerts come up about those dll files
I don’t have localhost at all

Anyway, I’ll try a few things and see how it goes.

Thanks Brian and George!

Sounds like a corrupt XAMPP install or missing OS dependencies , maybe clean reinstall?

You don’t mention what o/s you use but alternatively try MAMP or WAMP?

So I am having the same problem. I never chose Wappler Local Direct Server when setting up my project.

I started with a clean install. It was working fine and then it wasn’t.

What I tried…
I went into php.ini and added the scoop ext folder to the directories
extension_dir=“C:\Users\rande\scoop\apps\php\current\ext”
Still showing the same issues.

The files it is saying isn’t there, are there, each file that popped an error was verified.

OP, did you figure out how to fix it?

famousmag · February 17, 2024, 2:04pm

Ohhh…

Yeah there were about 10 files in that folder that causing am error alert…

That was in my pc. Haven’t worked on it again since then…

The problem appeared when I was starting XAMPP.

Maybe a clean install of XAMPP could fix this issue?

Richelle_Anderson · February 17, 2024, 2:37pm

No that won’t do it.

Go to powershell and uninstall scoop. Then delete the scoop folder.

When you open Wappler back up do not reinstall it.

Worked for me AND wappler is still installing dependencies.

Hope this helps you.

That’s good news!

Glad it worked!!

I really have no time at the moment, but at some point I have to fix it.
So, thank you very much!!
