[Xerte] Re: Standalone Install Problems

[Fay Cross]

Hi Stephanie
Have you unzipped the xertetoolkits.zip in the right place so all the files are in C:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits?  I think in the past some people have created a folder called xertetoolkits and unzipped it in there so they actually have the files in C:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits\xertetoolkits

If you have unzipped it correctly and can see the folder C:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits\setup I don't have any other ideas but while you are waiting for someone else to help out you might want to try Toolkits on the Techdis sandpit at http://www.techdisplayxerte.info/
It'll give you a better idea of how it compares to the standalone version you're already using without having to install anything first

Julian - 

"Did you run the server?" -- I think so -- I started Xampp and started Apache and MySql

"What error message do you get?"  - Just the basic "Broken Link" message in the browser.  I've gotten it with both Chrome and Explorer.  

Thanks for your help!

Subject: [Xerte] Standalone Install Problems

I am an elementary teacher with NO server experience. I've been using the desktop version on Xerte (which I love!) and sending it to my Tech Coordinator to load onto the server for the students to access. I've heard that the Online Toolkits in a little more intuitive, but have been unable to install using Xampp.  When I try to go to <localhost/xertetoolkits/setup> I get an error message in my browser.  Note that I am attempting to install on a standalone laptop, not a server. I've seen in the archives that others have had this issue but I've not found a resolution that works for me.  I am unable to open .config files, so if I need to change something, I'll need help with how to open that, as well!

Thanks in advance!
