[Xerte] Re: Standalone Install Problems

[Ron Mitchell]

Have you tried the MAXOS suggestion from Thomas?
You don't really need to install that just unzip to the root of a USB stick
or HDD and run from there.
However if you previously installed Xampp and ticked the boxes to run as a
service you may need to uninstall that first.
Also before trying to use a local install of Xampp or MAXOS if you have
skype running exit that completely before trying Xampp or Maxos.
You can restart skype once xampp is running.

I have tried everything suggested by the group and am still unable to
install.  If there are no other suggestions, I guess I'll go with keeping
the desktop version since I'm informed that all the individual page
templates will be accessible in the desktop editor with the next update.  

Thanks to those who tried to help.

hello

c:\xampp\htdocs\toolkit\

is equivalent to

http://localhost/toolkit/

so rename

c:\xampp\htdocs\toolkit\

to

c:\xampp\htdocs\xertetoolkits\

And try again
