Help with installing Vanilla on PC with XP & Xampp

joemad

I'm trying to make a vanilla test forum on a small network.

I installed xampp (all in one Apache, Mysql & PHP) on my XP machine so I could run the vanilla forum from my pc. Xampp installed correctly and it appears that Apache, Mysql & PHP are running.

When I go to http://localhost/forum I get these errors...

Any advice will be much appreciated. I'm very new to all this. I've installed vanilla once on an online web server that had PHP already installed and don't know much about programming. Thanks!

Did you have any errors when you installed Vanilla?

It's most likely a result of the slashes and how PHP runs under windows and it's file system. Windows tends to hate forward slashes.

I've had XAMPP on XP with Vanilla on it several times, never had any issues like that. I'd try copying over "clean" versions of all files (except in /conf/), and otherwise try a new install.

Ok... it's up and running! Thanks! (new install fixed it)
