[Xerte-dev] Re: Installing multiple XAMPP installs

The xampp install buton is evil! ;-)

Just use the full install option and choose your own database name.

I just wouldn't mind being able to quickly setup xerte inside every current
version of Moodle just to be sure that what I've done works across the
board.

 

Not sure if it's as simple as having a textbox to include a table prefix? Is
there anything else that would need to be different?

Hmm, not sure, but have wondered the same thing as it would be good to have
a functioning xampp install and a bleeding edge one.

Hi,

 

Might be something I've overlooked but when you have an xampp install and
you create a new one (for example you have /moodle1_9/xerte/ already setup
and you want a new site - /moodle2_0/xerte/) it appears that running
/moodle2_0/xerte/setup overwrites (or shares) the same database as the
initial install.

 

Is there an easy way to manage this at present or should we allow this in
the interface??

 

This comes from the whole upload.php issue. in trying to test xerte with
1_9, I appear to have overwritten 2_0 and/or even after initial install of
1_9 it would redirect to moodle2_0 for authentication as that was setup
prior to 1_9 setup.

 

Is there an easy way to do multiple installs like this or could/should we
have some options with the "XAMPP INSTALL" button to allow multiple
installs?

 

Regards,
