[Xerte-dev] Re: Problems with XAMPP install of develop code

I do always run the full install but just to clarify I also always visit
/setup too and like Tom do that I didn't get any errors.

If I were to just visit localhost/xerte rather than localhost/xerte/setup I
do get errors but I think there have been there since 2.1 too and from
memory relate to the sqllite stuff? Haven't ever got that to work.

Hi Tom

Yes thats the behaviour that I was getting. I tried the full server setup
(on xampp) first and it didnt work. I prefer that as I have more control
over the setup and I know Ron always uses it too. Got a load of errors and
then tried the xampp setup and that did work fine.

Hmmm...

What I did was:
1.  install latest xampp
2. download unstable from community website 3. unzip that in the
xertetoolkits folder of xampp 4. Start localhost/xertetoolkits (it gives me
errors, I will look into that) 5. Start localhost/xertetoolkits/setup 6.
Choose xampp install

It seems to work fine.

Step 6 doesn't work in IE11, I'll lok into that as well.

Regards,

Tom
