Recommendation: Apache Friends' XAMPP
Tue, 10/03/2009 - 02:26
I thought I'd mention that I was able to satisfy all the necessary prerequisites for ProsePoint in a simple way by installing a bundle called XAMPP (http://www.xampp.org/) from Apache Friends. This provides MySQL, Apache, PHP and Perl in a single package, for Linux, Sun, Macintosh or Windows.
I used XAMPP on Ubuntu, and had no trouble installing ProsePoint. I plan to write a tutorial for others who may wish to try this option, especially if you wish to try ProsePoint on your own server, and don't have the experience of installing the web development environment required.
Of course, this is not the only option -- perhaps others could post which environment they used to get ProsePoint working.
cheers

Error installing on XAMPP
As I try to install prosepoint on a xampp system I keep getting
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\prosepointroot\includes\file.inc on line 891
Any thoughts?

Set max_execution_time to about 10 minutes
Some versions of PHP on Windows run much slower than on other platforms, and require a much larger max_execution_time, especially during installation.
This seems to apply on Windows whether it is XAMPP, WAMP or something else.
I would recommended setting max_execution_time to about 10 minutes for installation. After a successful installation, you can try and reduce this setting back to more conventional values if you wish.
Oh, if you re-install, please make sure you completely clean out the database before reinstalling.

Problems in Vista
Hi there!
Im trying the installation of last Prosepoint version + Xampp + Vista, and i get an error like "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 60 seconds exceeded in C:\xampp\htdocs\ppoint\includes\file.inc on line 891"
Ive modified the max time to 600 sec (10 min) in php.ini
Any ideas?
Thanks!
ProsePoint works pretty well on all flavours of linux, I suspect, since Apache, MySQL, and PHP are so widely used on linux.
For the record, there are anecdotes of ProsePoint working on LAMP (linux), XAMPP (on Windows, and now Ubuntu from the original post), MAMP (MacOS), and WAMP (Windows, although there are issues with max_execution_time during installation). These anecdotes are from mentions in emails from past users, so unfortunately, I don't have any more details.
