Installing on local Win XP/Apache server for site building.

Permalink
I have been looking for a solution for a CMS and really...really need a major update to an old HTML site that has served well for a very long time but is way out of date.

I would prefer to do my site building locally so that I don't need to be online as I will often be on planes or camping while working on it.

So is there any help already here that describes in detail how to install C5 on a local XP/Apache sever setup?

I am not a web developer but I am a programmer so I need something to get me started on the basis of how this works.

Thanks, Paul

It should be pretty straight forward. Personally permissions was really the only problem I had at first on my mac but that was easily fixed.

Easy,
Install WAMPhttp://www.wampserver.com/en/
Create database onhttp://localhost/phpmyadmin/
Put C5 files in c:\wamp\www\
Visithttp://localhost/ and walk through the installation

Thanks, I will give that a whirl today. I'm sure that I will be back with more questions.

I guess the question then is this. Once I have what I want on my local machine is there any issue transferring the site to a UNIX based server from the Windows machine?

As long as the UNIX server has somewhat new PHP and MySQL versions, there shouldn't be any trouble than setting the correct folder/file permissions.

I believe the following need to be 755 :
/config
/files
/concrete/libraries/3rdparty/htmldiff.py
