That sounds awsome 'think I'll give it a try this weekend
Thank you for sugesting it

Hi Herko

Sorry to be a pest, but you have on a few occasions recommended Uniform Server, as it is easy to install and will run on a memory stick.

I am trying to install XOOPS on Uniform Server, but setup fails early on with the following errors:

Failed writing constant W:/www.
Failed writing constant http://localhost.
Failed writing constant mysql.
Failed writing constant xoops.
Failed writing constant localhost.
Failed writing constant root.
Failed writing constant .
Failed writing constant bcadata.
Failed writing constant 0.
Failed writing constant 1.
Failed writing constant 2.
Failed writing constant 3.
Failed writing constant 1.

using setup:

Database MySQL
Database Hostname localhost
Database Username root
Database Password
Database Name bcadata
Table Prefix XOOPS
Use persistent connection? No
XOOPS Physical Path W:/www
XOOPS Virtual Path (URL) http://localhost


I cannot find answer to this and have tried various combinations from the setup screen.

Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated

Use XOOPS 2.0.15.

or search for your error message, it´s been answered many times in these forums.

Sorry - I assumed it was a Uniform Server problem !

All working great

Thanks for your help
