doesn’t seem to work with anything including the BBC, let-alone XERTE.
If, like me you took the upgrade trustingly you will need to de-install it
using the Prgrams and Features option in Control Panel and then re-install
version 9.159 which you can download from<br>

Choose ‘Flash Player 9’ and unzip it somewhere safe and then run
flashplayer9r159_winax.exe within the fp9_archive/9r159 directory. This seems
to restore both Xerte and the BBC to normal working<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

A few points...<br>
<br>
1. I think the 000730.html list post you refer to is out of date now at<br>
least in terms of page3.php which contains lots of form fields as you say<br>
and these shouldn't be null. That instruction refers to a previous installer<br>
so ignore that instruction to add nulls.<br>
2. Although you've followed a link to download v0.91 beta what you've<br>
actually downloaded is a preview release of v1.0 which contains a bug we are<br>
trying to resolve but Pat is on leave until next week.<br>
3. The install should work in terms of completing the 4 steps but as you say<br>
the Xampp button is redundant and more importantly if once installed you try<br>
to create anything you'll probably get an error. So I would hold fire until<br>
next week and news on this list.<br>
Cheers<br>

Subject: [Xerte] Installing Toolkits<br>
<br>
Hello,<br>
<br>
I've started installing Xerte Online Toolkits (v0.91 beta) by following the<br>
instructions at<br>
<a
href="http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/pipermail/xerte/2008-September/000730.html">http://lists.nottingham.ac.uk/pipermail/xerte/2008-September/000730.html</a><br>
. However, so far my attempts to complete the installation have been<br>
unsuccessful. I seek for some advice and guidance.<br>
<br>
Here's what I've done so far:<br>
<br>
1. Install XAMPP (Success!)<br>
- Download xampp from<br>
<a
href="http://www.apachefriends.org/download.php?xampp-win32-1.6.7-installer.ex">http://www.apachefriends.org/download.php?xampp-win32-1.6.7-installer.ex</a><br>
e;<br>
- Run the installer, choosing to install apache and mysql as services<br>
- Open the xamp control panel and stop apache and mysql<br>
- Goto c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpconf.conf file<br>
- Remove the comment ('#') from the following line: #LoadModule<br>
rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so<br>
- Restart apache and mysql in the xampp control panel<br>
<br>
2. Install Xerte Toolkits (Success!)<br>
- Download and install the Xerte Online Toolkits from<br>
<a href="http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/downloads/toolkits.zip">http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/downloads/toolkits.zip</a><br>
- Create a folder called 'toolkits' in c:\xampp\htdocs\<br>
- Extract all the files from the zip to c:\xampp\htdocs\toolkits\<br>
<br>
3. Setup Xerte Toolkits (Failed!)<br>
- Navigate in your browser to <a href="http://localhost/toolkits/setup/">http://localhost/toolkits/setup/</a>
<-- Done!<br>
- On the first page click 'next' <-- Which one, there are two Next
buttons;<br>
the "For XAMPP People" isn't is a dead link xampp.php. Followed the
second<br>
Next button pointing to config_setup.php<br>
- On the second page click 'next'. These first two pages contain important<br>
information for any sys admins setting up toolkits on a n production server.<br>
<-- Done!<br>
- On the third page, enter 'localhost' as the host, 'root' as the database<br>
name, leave the password blank, enter 'toolkits' for the database name and<br>
leave the prefix field blank <-- Done!<br>
- On the next page enter 'root' for the database account and leave the<br>
password blank <-- Done!<br>
- On the next page, enter 'NULL' in each field <-- On this page<br>
(page3.php) there are too many fields (surely can't expect to enter NULL to<br>
every single text box)! When I clicked on Submit Query I got many warnings<br>
and Install complete message (see attached file).<br>
- On the next page, click 'next' <-- No such option available.<br>
- On the following page, enter 'NULL' in each field <-- No such option<br>
available.<br>
- On the following page, enter 'NULL' in each field <-- No such option<br>
available.<br>
<br>
<br>
When I opened the Xerte toolkits page (<a href="http://localhost/toolkits/">http://localhost/toolkits/</a>)
I got the<br>
following error messages:<br>
<br>
<br>
Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: Access denied for<br>
user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in<br>
C:\xampp\htdocs\toolkits\config.php on line 36<br>
<br>
Warning: mysql_select_db() [function.mysql-select-db]: A link to the server<br>
could not be established in C:\xampp\htdocs\toolkits\config.php<br>
on line 36<br>
<br>
<br>
Any help is much appreaciated<br>
<br>
