That's already three releases behind. Why would you install anything
other than 1.10 today?

There's not requirement for you to install Apache httpd:

"3. Prerequisites
Some webserver capable of executing PHP scripts."

Any webserver with PHP support will do.

Check your webserver's error log file.

You also might want to review
http://www.catb.org/esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
at one point. It will help you get better answers.

Thanks for replying

The browser shows the following error

Object not found

the requested URL /simplesaml/module.php/core/frontpage_welcome.php was not found on this server

What's wrong here?

Either you don't have the Alias directive set in your httpd config
http://simplesamlphp.org/docs/stable/simplesamlphp-install#section_6
or it points to the wrong local directory or you didn't reload httpd
after changing its configuration or something else is off.

[Irien Kamaratih]

this is my httpd config :

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1:80>

    DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs"

    ServerName localhost

</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost simplesamlphp>

    DocumentRoot "C:\xampp\htdocs\simplesamlphp\www"

    ServerName simplesamlphp

    ServerAlias simplesaml

    <Directory "C:\xampp\htdocs\simplesamlphp\www">

        Options Indexes MultiViews FollowSymLinks

        AllowOverride All

        Order allow,deny

        Allow from all

    </Directory>

</VirtualHost>

I've added to hosts file :

127.0.0.1  localhost

127.0.0.1  simplesamlphp

I've reloaded my httpd. Is there anything wrong with my alias?

You don't have one. Other than that it's OK.

You did not use the Alias directive as specified in the SSP
documentation (which is fine and up to you). How about the rest of the
relevant documentation, i.e. setting baseurlpath?

Make sure the virtual host ist working as expected, e.g. by putting a
plain text file (say, "test.txt" with any content, like "Hello,
world!") in the directory specified as DocumentRoot and accessing it
from the web browser via http://simplesamlphp/test.txt
If that does not work you virtual host config is incorrect.
If that does work but accessing SSP's files in there does not maybe
it's a local PHP install problem. I'd retry with a simple PHP file
echo'ing hello world.
Unless all that works it has nothing to do with SSP.

I think my Alias isn't working..

I've changed the Alias with this:

ServerAlias simplesamlphp

Alias /simplesaml/ "/xampp/htdocs/simplesamlphp/www"

But, the results is same

When I type the URL manually, the browser shows the start page for installation but there's a warning like this :

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at C:\simplesamlphp\templates\includes\header.php:2) in C:\simplesamlphp\templates\includes\header.php on line 41

You didn't have one. I told you so before. But that's not the source
of your problem(s).

Also you're not reading what I wrote and not answering the questions I
asked. Highly unmotivating when someone is trying to help you solve
/your/ problem.

That has nothing to do with anything here.

Blindly copying what the documentation states won't make this work on
MS-Windows. You'd need to use the correct syntax for your deployment,
which for some reason you already managed to use for your DocumentRoot
directive).
Also, you don't need that Alias at all since you already pointed the
DocumentRoot directive at this directory (whether setting that
DocumentRoot like that is a good idea is up to you. It's your idea.)
Which all indicates you seem to have no idea /why/ you are doing any
of that. In which case it's always advisable to stick to what the
documentation says.

> But, the results is same

I would expect as much.

Does not happen with a default install for me. Search the web for it,
it's a very common PHP error in some of the files you have modified.
If you don't find it, wipe out your SSP install and unpack again from
a fresh distribution. The code as published does not contain such
errors, unless there's a bug somethere.

So did you or did you not adjust your baseurlpath?
Setting DocumentRoot to SSP's "www" directory would mean your
baseurlpath then becomes "/". The documentation does not spell that
out for you because the documentation does not assume your
DocumentRoot is limited to SSP's "www" directory.
Not setting your DocumentRoot to SSP and having an Alias directive
would make baseurlpath the same as the Alias you've created (provided
the Alias points to the correct file system path, which it did not in
your case).

You need to be more specific about "can't load the page" means.

Hello All,
I'm running into a similar problem where I can't get to the install page of SimpleSAML. My setup is Server 2012 with PHP 5.4.24. I'm pretty sure php is configured on the server properly as I am running another php app (moodle) on this server.

To setup sipmplSAML, I created a new website in IIS that points to the extracted contents of simpleSAML. In my config.php file I have set baseurlpath to 'www/'. When I try to navigate to 'https://mysite/www' (which redirects to "https://mysite/www/module.php/core/frontpage_welcome.php"), I get a page not found error stating "The given page was not found. The reason was: The URL must at least contain a module name followed by a slash." I have attached a SS of the error.

Any ideas on what I've done wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Kyle

Hi there,

I have installed simplesamlphp again.still not working,I have screenshot the error.please guide.

 Thanks,

Syafiq

[Niels van Dijk]

Hi Syafiq,

THis is still an Apache error. Check the error.log of Apache to see what
is wrong. Is alias_module enabled at all?

Cheers,
Niels

Thank you for the reply.yes,alias module is enabled.Im sorry to be posting all these screenshots.this is my first time using apache.

Im guessing the line "document root does not exist" is the prob?

thanks

I got it figured out...had a rewrite rule in IIS for a different app on the server that was goofing things up. Once I removed it, all seems happy now.

This error occurs when session is started and somewhere program throws an error, So session unable to work because it needs the first line of code should be session_start but in error case the first line of code becomes error and session_start comes after error.

[shamb...@gmail.com]

Thanks it works for me!! :)
