[Xerte] Xerte on a Stick

[Alistair McNaught]

When I had a problem starting MAXOS from the start batch file Thomas
suggested changing the startup.pl file.



This file is found in xampp/cgi-bin on the root of the memory stick and
it contains a line near the bottom that says



sleep 5;



We changed it to



sleep 15;



it has worked very well since then. It's Thomas's solution not mine so
I'm not the person to say why it worked but it did.

How wonderful to be by a swimming pool with the sun rising - well it is
not too bad here in the south of England and sun is up over the Downs!



To add to the list about Xerte on a stick.

John Sewell and I struggled to get Xerte on a stick working on my laptop
yesterday  - the stick worked on his and the university computers. I
closed Skype, Outlook and Messenger - tried to close all sorts of other
things but I have a feeling socket 08 was still a sticking point.
Please see attached screen grab.  All ideas to get it running gratefully
received.



Many thanks.



Best wishes E.A.

It is 6am, and I am sitting by a swimming pool watching the sunrise over
Dakar.



- How do I configure my computer so I can have an installed version of
XAMPP with toolkits in it and at the same time run Xerte on a Stick? I
get an error starting MySQL if I try and run Xerte on a Stick whilst
XAMPP is installed. Uninstall it and it works fine.



- How do I log into the management console so I can install a new
template into my Xerte on a Stick?



The first is just a belt and braces, as I have my presentation later on,
and am unsure whether I'll use my computer, or if Xerte on a Stick will
work on another computer, and I don't want to be stuck trying to install
XAMPP in front of lots of people.



The second doesn't matter too much, but I have a nicer template than
Page Templates to use when presenting. It would be good for Xerte on a
Stick users to be able to access the management stuff though.
