Hi

I've successfully installed "Fox Server" on my local computer and am trying to install a copy of my XOOPS site on it. (Fox Server is a MySQL/PHP/Server Package for running php/mysql sites locally.)

I've copied the database to it and all the files.

I know I have to edit the mainfile.php but what do I put for the ('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/XXXXXXXXX'); ???

The url for the localhost on my machine ishttp://localhost/


For the XOOPS url I put ('XOOPS_URL', 'http://localhost'); .. which I "think" is correct.


I tried putting just localhost as the root path as well .. that is ...

('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/localhost');

but I get the error message of "XOOPS path check: Script is not inside XOOPS_ROOT_PATH and cannot run."

On an online server it would be something like ..

('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/home/user/domains/mysite.com/public_html');

Anyone know what the root path is on a local machine?? I mean .. I don't have a "domain name" on it or anything.

Thanks

It think would be the physical location on your machine - for example "c:/foxserver/htmldocs/xoops"

(I may be wrong in this however, but I seem to remember using the actual path with XAMPP)

Thanks david2

I just came back to say "Don't worry I solved it" and I see you came up with the correct solution too!

I just put it as C:/FoxServ/www .. which .. as you said was the physical location of the files. Works perfectly. Pretty slow though! Just as slow as on the online server! I would have thought it would be as fast as using Widows Explorer on local files! .. Oh well.

Thanks

No problem

(In fact this has reminded me of a solution to a problem I had setting up Xampp - so this has helped me as well )
