Hey Darren –
I also saw your post in the forum. About only needing to run umount /
As to the *why* for this – I am still looking into it it has something to do with the way Windows sees folder paths when cygwin has the disk mounted.
Also hang tight – Tobbe in the forum has supplied some code that may get L2G to run from any folder location including locations that are not top level directories, and paths with spaces in them etc.
I will *hopefully* be putting this code through its paces this weekend and with any luck it might also resolve the cygwin issue.

Can you explain *why* cygwin is interfering?
umount -A is pretty destructive to the local cygwin environment.

Is there no other way round this?

Steve – step #1 the traytool has 2 menu’s a right-click and left-click the right-click menu is the one you want.

Once you have that figured out – Lighty2go does not really ‘play nice’ with cygwin on the same PC.
So make sure that you don’t have anything “running” from within cygwin while trying to run L2G. Also make sure you run the command umount -Afrom the cygwin shell BEFORE running any of the batch files from the traytool “right-click” menu.
Also you *may* want to try stopping the Apache service while you try running L2G. That way you don’t have to make any adjustment to the L2G config to just make sure it runs in the default set-up.
Try that and let me know.

I too am having some trouble… (WinXP Pro XP2)

I DL’d ver 1.0 of Lighty2Go, and unzipped it to E:\Lighty2go (a root folder on my USB Key.

When I run the set-path.bat it seems to work, copies over a bunch of batch files from the base_files dir, and launches the traytool.exe file.

In the tray, I get 2 options… [About | Exit], no options to start/stop Lighty/MySQL etc.

If I try to run one of the “copied” batch files, the Lighty one gives me this cygwin error…[see below] (note, if I run the MySQL one by itself, it runs just fine)

PS The only configuration change I have made, is I set the server.port in the Lighty Config to use 81 (since my localhost usually has Apache running on 80)

The error I’m getting…

==========
Starting LightTPD…

3 [main] ? (2528) E:\Lighty2go\lightTPD\LightTPD.exe: *** fatal error – sy
stem shared memory version mismatch detected – 0x75BE0096/0x2D1E009C.
This problem is probably due to using incompatible versions of the cygwin DLL.
Search for cygwin1.dll using the Windows Start->Find/Search facility
and delete all but the most recent version. The most recent version *should*
reside in x:\cygwin\bin, where ‘x’ is the drive on which you have
installed the cygwin distribution. Rebooting is also suggested if you
are unable to find another cygwin DLL.

The version I have, is in C:\cygwin\bin\cygwin1.dll (version 1005.19.0.0 from RedHat

APIVersion: 0.15
BuildDate: 2006-01-20 13:28

I would really like to *not* have to change this file… is there a way I can point to another version?… or can I set something to skip this test (e.g. is it really breaking something?)

Thanks for any assistance

No man thank you — I need people testing and using L2G in different set-ups so I know what to work on and fix.
I am definitely glad to here that it works with the default file, so the one I made ‘just for Vista’ isn’t necessary.
Sorry it took so long to get you going – I really appreciate you sticking with me and the project until it was resolved.

Wonderful!
It works with the default .bat file (The one you supply in the download)
Thank you very much for your support, I appreciate it.
(Also, sorry for using Windows Vista but I have to do it to get DirectX 10 )
