When I was installing I found that if you had an install blow up it was best to delete *everything* off the server and start clean.

Folder 
isn’t being written to then.
 
Can 
you access the sitedetails table?
 
Is 
the root_file_path attribute set?

I have 
tried both, the new learning object with a different name.

Did 
you try creating a new learning object? Or accessing the old one?

Permissions 
are No sharing of the folder and Permissions for everyone is Read Allow. I 
changed this to  shared folder and allow Full control ad Change, but I 
still get the same issue of "No such file or 
directory..."

No, 
there is a text file in there stating, "Text file to ensure this folder is 
created on the server".

That 
makes sense, all seems well with the set up. I have created a new learning 
object, but when I come to edit it I get the following message:

 

Warning: 
copy(USER-FILES/1-guest-Nottingham/data.xml) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: No such file or 
directory in J:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits\modules\xerte\edit.php on line 
44

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: No such file or directory in 
J:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits\modules\xerte\edit.php on line 
46

I can see the 
edit.php in the modules\xerte folder. Any ideas why it will not 
run?

I have played around 
with getting toolkits up and running in a variety of ways, some with more 
success than others. I have nearly completed a Full Install (as I have put 
Moodle on the same MySql), but the last part of the instructions 
says:

 

1) Go to the 
root folder of your site
2) Rename 
index.php to be index.old
3) Rename 
demo.php to be index.php
There is no 
demo.php in the toolkits folder, only a demo txt file. How / where can I find 
the file I need?
 
Thanks

Thanks 
for the responses. 

 

I have stopped and 
started Apache and MySql a couple of times to test if they were the problem, but 
that did not fix the issue.

 

I do not have a an 
Index.php file, only an Index.txt file in the directory. I will try unzipping 
and re-loading Toolkits again in case I have not got all the files I 
need.

Hi 
Ian
 
It 
sounds like XAMPP is displaying the contents of the web directory rather than 
showing a default page.
 
Try 
visiting http://localhost/xertetoolkits/index.php 
which should take you to the home page of the interface.
 
Hope 
that helps
 
Kind 
regards

Hi

 

I have just started 
to investigate Xerte and successfully installed xampp and Xerte Toolkits on a 
(Windows XP) PC. After the installation I was able to run Toolkits from http://localhost/xertetoolkits/ and 
create an effective learning resource.

 

Since trying to 
launch Toolkits, again using the URL above, I simply get the Index of files for 
Toolkits and not the Toolkits interface.

 

Could anyone help me 
with this problem and explain how I can return to the Toolkits 
interface?

 

Thanks
