[Xerte] RE: localhost/xertetoolkits returns index

Thu Oct 28 16:59:35 BST 2010

You don't need to.

Just set the file path

Then truncate the two database tables about the templates :)

30 Gyrations and no Joy? Hard times!

I should apologise as I do need to rewrite the installer to deal with windows path problem. But if some one else wants to then please do.

Well, it was just my experience.
After 30 gyrations and no joy, I cleaned the server and reinstalled *following the instructions word for word* and up she went.

I could be wrong, but I think something gets written on initial install, and if you don't delete or set that flag or whatever it is back, it becomes a bit of a dogs nest.

Why the bias against re-installing?
Personal affront?
;-)

Booooo

Don't do that

Set root_file_path to be equal to

J:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits\

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?

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
