I don't know, this has always been an issue I guess. Warn the user? Try and migrate the content from one to another?

Yes but as I said what happens if there's already an install?
Meeting now will test again later.

The quick one.

I think it's there to give a real easy way of setting up for the non-techs, I think that's important.

Thanks.

I've not seen that error but I always use the full install option when testing with xampp not the quick xampp install option. Which did you use?

Although I understand why the quick install option is there I've always thought that has disadvantages too e.g. what happens when someone thinks ok I'll test 1.8 on the same xampp install where I have 1.7. They create a new directory, run setup, choose the xampp option rather than full install - does it overwrite the existing 1.7 database or fail to install because the database already exists?

I have an online meeting now until about 12.30 but will test xampp stuff after that.

OK. So how do we stop the error?

By default when you do a new install the guest access is enabled. You then need to edit config.php and comment/uncomment the authentication required. So no for a demo.txt etc and means it's easy to test that the install has completed correctly before enable chosen authentication.

I don't know how authentication works anymore, the old XAMPP route used to copy demo so people didn't have to do it, but with the new authentication I don't know if demo is spurious anymore?

I'm guessing that the old setup had demo.txt in, and demo.txt has been removed from /setup?

A couple of us are going to deploy Toolkits 1.8 in anger next Friday: everyone seems to think that everything is ready, it would be good to have one final check that everything we think works still does.

Ron, can you update the test server with the latest svn files so we can see it running on a server please?

Can anyone do an LDAP setup and test that?

Can everyone do a localhost / xampp setup and check all your bits and pieces still work please?

Thanks,
