[Xerte] Xerte on a Stick

[E.A. Draffan]

I found lots of emails on running Xerte toolkits on an IIS Server but not
about stopping IIS running on a laptop with Vista and IE8  - sorry -  is
there a trick to stopping IIS?   I could not find anything on the subject
other than a forum note that suggested this action 

 

"You can access Services via running MMC (Start ... Run ... MMC) then
Add/Remove snap-ins and add the Services snap in."

 

Works like a dream on my old XP desktop running IE6 so will work on that
despite it being horribly slow.  Many thanks for all the help.  

 

Best wishes E.A.

Yes it is nice for some to be by a swimming pool.

 

Was IIS still running - see other email on stopping IIS.

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.
