Well just to give you an update on 3.3, its planned to come out on December 25, 2005 as a christmas gift. We could not figure out the problem with phpMyAdmin 2.7.0-pl1 on IE but we know that it works perfect on FireFox. On IE, you may have to reload the page/frame before the style is in use for some reason… don’t ask us, we asked and asked around and no one knows what the problem is also and it is not the Uniform Server because 2.6.4 works perfect.Since it works perfect on FireFox, the only problem i can see is IE. Stilling looking into it till the release date/hoping a new version comes out before then.

Introducing mod_security
To even improve on the already tight security in the Uniform Server, we are working on adding mod_security to the Uniform Server. Currently we are not sure on either we are going to add it to the package, or make it a plugin but we will let you know. Please know that when we say “adding to the package” we mean something like 3.4+ and not the upcoming 3.3 After the release of 3.3 we are going to start working on the installers of the other plugins we have developed (Tomcat, Resin …) while working on this.

We will keep you updated on whats happening.

Yap, you got it. Our site was suspended cause i was late on the payment for my Reseller Hosting. I have had the issue resolved cause i usually pay by 5months+ and this time i plan on paying for 8months so the least they could do is bring it back up for me
I am still looking into the phpMyAdmin issue, plan to test it when i get home in the afternoon and if it does not work, download a new copy to test and if that does not work, we may have to downgrade it to a old server… I know 2.6.3+ works perfect

Yes i know what you all are thinking, and i am also thinking the same thing too cause i really want to make this release and release it so we can move on to other things. Recently, today i was updating the packed softwares and i encountered an error in 2 places.

PHP 5.1.1: I was updating PHP as i usually do when i hit a major problem. The php.ini file was not pulling the extensions from /usr/local/php/extensions/ but it was pulling it from C:/php5/ for some reason, and that directory does not exist and neither has PHP been installed on this PC before. Another problem was also the fact that i later realized that it was pulling php.ini from C:\WINDOWS which has no file called php.ini in it. I later fixed the problem with a small tweak to the httpd.conf file.
By adding PHPIniDir “/usr/local/php/” my problem was solved for PHP.
phpMyAdmin 2.7.0-pl1: The second problem i’m facing is with phpMyAdmin. For some reason, there is a problem with the theme system cause its not pulling the css files right or something. You have to keep refreshing it like 3 times before it loads up right and after that it goes back to the plain dirty no css theme.

I am still working on fixing the phpMyAdmin problem, but i definately promise you that version 3.3 will be out in time for christmas. If i have to downgrade phpMyAdmin for the release i will I know everything works perfect on version 2.6.3+

Wow, i noticed i have not posted here for a while. Been busy with getting everything ready for school. Also fighting some family and real life problems.

Anyways, the Beta Chat 2 went OK. Not much people turned out but i guessed that was expected as most people only join to get and not contribute. 3.3 should be coming in a week or two so watch out for it. In fact i can even make it my gift to you all on my birthday which is December 13 :D. Just have to upgrade all the package contents plus some last minute fixes and checking.

We are now going to be compressing all .DLL and .EXE files with UPX to make the package smaller. Hope it works Havn’t tried it out yet :D.

Thats all i can think of now, but i will make sure to keep you all updated.
