INSTALLING SIT ON WINDOWS - THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE

[mkeiwua]

Dear all,

Kindly check this out:

The below worked for me on :
-WAMPSERVER 2.0, Windows XP SP2.
-My SIT folder was copied onto the www folder(of wampserver) as SIT-3.45 and
-I DID NOT move the inc folder to 'outside' of www as recommended by the install manual.
(At this point, I assume you have copied the SIT folder to the www root)

a) rename the config.inc-dist.php to config.inc.php

b) fill your information into config.inc.php

$CONFIG['db_hostname'] = 'localhost';
$CONFIG['db_username'] = 'root';
$CONFIG['db_password'] = 'XXXX';
$CONFIG['db_database'] = 'sit';
$CONFIG['application_webpath'] = '/sit-3.45/'; (- this is your SIT directory relative to the www folder)

c) Create the blank database SIT in MYSQL

d) Input http://localhost/SIT-3.45/setup.php to your browser

e) Complete the installation

f) Now make config.inc.php readonly and go to

http://localhost/SIT-3.45/index.php

g) It will now tell you that -

Installed OK

Your database schema is v3.45.. DO NOT CLICK NEXT

h) If you DO not see the fields to create username and password - Press F5 on your keyboard to refresh and below you will see the fields

to create username and password, Now click "Create Admin..."

g) You are ready to go... Click the "Run SIT" button

h) Finally, Go to the i18n folder and pick the language file you are using (I am

using en-GB.inc.php.) Create a copy of it and rename the copy to

defau.inc.php

i) Good Luck to all.

Rgds,

Hi,

Thanks for your guide. I don't understand the last step though.

h) Finally, Go to the i18n folder and pick the language file you are using (I am
using en-GB.inc.php.) Create a copy of it and rename the copy to
defau.inc.php

Why have you done that?

Hi Ivan,

After logging in, the dashboards and top toolbars were looking for the file "defau.inc.php" and could not display correctly without it.

After doing the last step, evrything worked well.

Rgds,

I have tried for a long time to solve this, but to no result. I have even run it on XAMPP, but all I get is a white screen after I run the setup.php. Any ideas would be appreciated.

hi,

I had the exact same problems, until I followed the steps above.

Are you moving you 'inc' from the SIT main folder and then editing your php.ini to (include_path)?

Rgds,

No, I have not edited anything other that what you have specified in your post. I have previously followed other guides on this forum, but have never got any further than I am now. What do you think the problem is?

The errors are just notices, they're not errors as such. By default, most php installations ignore them but for some reason windows doesn't. You just need to change the default error logging in php.ini. You don't need to move your inc or edit php.ini (for 3.45).

edit: the white page probably means you have an extra space in your config file, probably before the <?php

[svenner]

Ok, I will give this a try right now. many thanks for your help. it's much appreciated

[mkeiwua]

Hi,

are you running the following after extracting the files...

http://localhost/sit-3.45/setup.php ?

[mkeiwua]

hi xerosis,

i think they are errors since the installation does not work... getting a blank screen after running setup.php probably means that you can't login to the app and therefore cannot use it.
