Concrete5 on XAMPP Portable
Permalink
Hi C5 community,
I am trying since hourse to figure out why C5 does not install on a USB Stick using XAMPP Portable. It has the access to database, I can see the "Install Concrete Fields" correctly. After submitting the details I receive just a blank site from this url
. When I reload the page, then I have to start all over again.
I even tried some different portable webserver apps, all the same issue!
The details I am using are just the default: root, "blank password", localhost, test db , mail@localhost.
I am using already XAMPP Portable on my Win7 machine successfully.
Please advice. Thanks

I have figured out.
1 - Install Concrete5 on your desktop using, XAMPP (Just install the standard items), do not forget to create "concrete5" database in PhpMyAdmin
2 - Download XAMPP Lite to the root of your USB Device
3 - Install XAMPP Lite according tohttp://www.askaboutphp.com/7/installing-xampp-lite-on-a-portable-st...
4 - Follow the instructions (http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/installation/moving_a_site) of moving a Concrete5 site, but skip the database part.
5 - Copy the whole Concrete5 files to the xampp\htdocs of your XAMPP Desktop to XAMPP Lite xampplite\htdocs folder (overwrite index.php)
5 - Now the important part: go to xampp\myswl\data\ and copy the whole folder calles "concrete5" and paste it in xampplite\mysql\data
5.1 - check
xampplite\htdocs\config\site.php6 - start your IE or Firefox and enter localhost or 127.0.0.1
7 - login with the datails you set in the first place (xampp desktop)
thats it, hope its helping!
