[Xerte] xerte online toolkits install problem

[Natalie Brown]

Hi

Thankyou for a tool that I think will be so useful to my practice. I 
have installed xerte on my computer and have had not problem learning 
how to use it.

I would now like to install the xerte online toolkits on a stand alone 
computer but cannot get it to install. I have watched the install video 
numerous times and I can't work out what I am doing wrong. Everything in 
the directions works fine until I try to go to 
http://localhost/xertetoolkits/setup . I get a "Page Load Error/ Failed 
to connect" message and cannot finish the installation. I am running 
Vista (is this my problem?) I hope someone can help me figure this out 
as it looks like such a useful tool to use.

Also to the maintainers of the site I have noticed that there is an 
error in the link to download and install XAMPP on the Online Toolkits 
Page (http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/xerte/toolkits.htm). You may already 
have been notified of this but the text and link read:

Download and install XAMPP accepting the default settings, from 
http://www.apachefriends.org/download.php?xampp-win32-1.7.0-installer.exe.

As you can see the "e" on the end of .exe has not been highlighted as 
part of the link, therefore, you cannot click through to the page. Just 
thought I would mention it just in case no one else had.

Thanks in advance
