- Installing Elgg on XAMPP
- ########################
- These intructions are provided in case you want to test your Elgg
- installation on your local computer running Windows.
- - Download and install XAMPP to your computer from
- http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html
- - Once the installation is completed, it will prompt you to start the
- XAMPP controller panel. Leave it for now.
- - Open ``C:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf`` file with notepad and uncomment
- these lines::
- #LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so
- #LoadModule filter_module modules/mod_filter.so
- - Edit the php.ini file and change
- ``arg_separator.output = &`` to ``arg_separator.output = &``
- - Go to ``C:\xampp`` and double click on the xampp_start application
- - Go to http://localhost/
- - Change your server's password in the security option
- - Go to http://localhost/phpmyadmin and login with the username and the
- password of your server
- - Create a database called "elgg" in your phpmyadmin panel
- - Now download Elgg. Unzip it and extract to ``C:\xampp\htdocs\sites\elgg``
- - Create the Elgg data folder as ``C:\xampp\htdocs\sites\data``
- - Go to http://localhost/sites/elgg
- - You will be taken to the Elgg installation steps. Install it and enjoy.
- A note on XAMPP 1.7.4 and eAccelerator
- ======================================
- Elgg is compatible with opcode caches and it is highly recommended that
- you enable a PHP opcode caching tool for a faster experience. XAMPP comes
- with support for eAccelerator out of the box, but unfortunately, the 1.7.4
- build of XAMPP leaves out the DLL that's required. To get eAccelerator
- working, follow these steps:
- - Download the DLL from http://eac.qme.nl/eAccelerator_v1_0_svn427_for_v5_3_5-VC6.zip
- - Copy eAccelerator_ts.dll to ``C:\xampp\php\ext\php_eaccelerator.dll``
- - Uncomment this line in ``C:\xampp\php\php.ini``::
-
- ;zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_eaccelerator.dll"
-
- - Restart apache
- To verify that it is on:
- - Go to localhost/xampp
- - Click on phpinfo() from the left sidebar
- - Ctrl+F for eaccelerator. If you get no results, eAccelerator is not active
