Hi everybody. I'm joining to Marco to give you some feedback about tests I've made with a local Mac environment.
First of all, just know that I use two kinds of local environment: PHP4 and MySQL4 installated around the Apache server installed by Apple, and a MAMP environment.
The
MAMP server is perhaps the easiest way to use Xoops, since it does not require to "play" with the Terminal application to install Apache, MySQL, etc. In addition to this "download and play" feeling, it can very easily switch from PHP4 to PHP5 by just clicking on a single button. So I recommend using this program for Mac users newbies. But I have a problem with Xoops2.1 (latest available download at the time of writing this post). XOOPS always redirects me to the "firewall problem page" (I mean the "Why am I being redirected here?" page, even if my firewall is turned off.
This problem doesn't happen in the other environment, despite the fact I'm using the same browser with the same parameters.
In this environment, if I switch to the "x2t" theme, I not only cannot go back but, there's no button to go back to the admin, but XOOPS doesn't want me to go to the admin panel if I try by typing the correct adress (xoops/admin.php) in my navigation bar.
And last, but not the least: I cannot manage blocks. (No message in the PHP debugger).
Cheers and Happy Xoopsing... until I come back with more feedback.
