To w:/x directory (W: is a new SanDisk Cruzer Mini USB Flash Drive, 1.0 GB)
Execute msas-web-installer-1.exe and the MSAS 4.5.2 web install begins.
I have SQLServer on the system but is shut down.
Firewalls, virus protection, Office apps, all shut down.
Windows Task Manager verified these processes are gone.
Looked at the event viewers for errors. Nothing.
Got to Start/Programs/MSAS and hit Mambo Stand Alone Server.
"This is your first time running MSAS after your installation. ..."
OK, "Extracting Mambo 4.5.2."
Looked at the event viewers for errors. Nothing.
Comes up and asks for a drive letter....I have the stick running as "W" and therefore hit "enter" for the default "w".
It comes back and tells me that it's successfuly installed and to restart it to use it.
Now I go back to Start/Programs/MSAS and hit Mambo Stand Alone Server.
Here is the error:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Error on Startup - there are two possibilities for this error:
1) MSAS could not start Apache Web Server on Drive "w".
Solution: Run "MSAS Configuration" from the MSAS Admin Panel within MSAS or Run "MSAS Configuration" from Start->Programs->MSAS
2)MSAS installation is corrupt and proper files are not installed.
Solution: Re-Install MSAS.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hit OK and the error message repeats itself for a second time????
Hit OK again
"Please Wait"
The MSAS 4.5.2 control panel popus up with this in the right hand side window:
-------------------------------------------

Internet Explorer ???
-------------------------------------------
I look in the Windows Task Manager and there are two msas452 processes.
The first is 1, 952K memory, with 538 page faults.
The second, 13,780 with 10,000 page faults
-----------
Now I have a list of options on the Mambo Admin Panel:
Advanced Options
MSAS Configuration
PHP MyAdmin
Apache Log Files
PHP Environment
Server config
Restart MySql
Restart Apache
-----------
So I hit "Apache Log Files"
Error alert is "The connection was refused when attempting to contact localhost:85
So I go to Start->Run and telnet 127.0.0.1 85 and it trys to connect and then the window closes.
Both MSAS452 processes are still there.
--------------------
If I hit "restart MySql" an error arises:
"Error executing file.
w:/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin.exe
The system cannot find the path specified."
W:\x\http_root\usr\local\mysql\bin\mysqladmin.exe exists.
----------------------
If I hit "restart Apache" an error arises:
w:/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqld-opt.exe
The system cannot find the path specified."
W:\x\http_root\usr\local\mysql\bin\mysqld-opt.exe exists.
----------------------------
I kill that box and this shows up!!
"MySql Server now restarted."
Both msas542 processes are still running.
-------------------
If I hit "restart Apache" again, an error arises:
Error executing file.
w:\home\admin\program\pv.exe
The system cannot find the path specified."
W:\x\http_root\home\admin\program\pv.exe exists.
----------------------------
Then this error pops up:
Error executing file.
w:\usr\local\apache2\bin\Apache.exe
The system cannot find the path specified.
--------------------------------------
Then another box pops up and says 'Apache2 Server now restarted'
-----------
No processes that look at all like Apache or MySql.
I can uninstall and re-install all day long and reproduce these errors.
Is there something hidden in the registry??
Is there another process that I need to be looking for?
Ok, I'll kill the smaller of the two msam452 processes... BOTH processes die.

Any suggestions?
