Hi all

What is the easiest way to run XOOPS off your own pc?

So that you can run diagnostics and testing, so you can streamline any errors, without disturbing your guests?

Is it easiest to download a complete XOOPS server solution and then run your site that way?

Or is there some easier way?

I am on dial up at present and so can't go testing thing to see what is best.

What do you lot think?

Try the XSAS Server It installs everything needed in one package.

I've recently downloaded "XAMPP" from apache friends - and this is another pretty good way to do it as well (although the initial settings in mainfile.php need to be fiddled with slightly.

I also recently tried XAMP (needed to run XOOPS on a Windows Home Edition PC that doesn't support IIS) I can recommend it. It really is a one-click install and (for me) was up and running in a few minutes.

There are no registry entries required, I installed XAMP and XOOPS in a folder on a 'D' drive. However, as davidl2 says, you do need to set paths in XOOPS config files properly. I don't have access to that laptop now, but I can post my settings if you decide to try it.

If you upgrade to broadband you might find the comments in this thread useful.

Try UniformServer. Very light only 8 mb ram and php 5 (need to downgrade to 4 sometimes), MySQL etc.

I've done the same thing and have created a local test site. So whenever I want to try out a new module I try it out there first, then apply it to my live sites.

I didn't use any of the above (forgot to think about it!) and did it all manually. However, as a result I have learnt the value of MySQL Administrator. Get it from http://www.mysql.org. It's great for database admin.

Also, PHP EasyWindows Installer is a nifty tool for PHP installations.

I have been using the uniserver for one month.
One big advantage over XSAS is that I could run several XOOPS: original English version, original Chinese version (slight different from English version), my hacked version, XOOPS development version.
