Title: Installing Elxis on Windows 7
Post by: jbm59er on May 25, 2010, 14:02:27

Hi, I have Windows 7 installed on my PC.  Can I install Elxis and manage my site locally?  What does it run on best, WAMP, XAMPP or individual installations of MySQL, PHP and APache?  I had installed Joomla, but for it to run, I had to install XAMPP  on drive D.  Thanks.

Most people using xampp...
and since you have already installed xampp ... go on!

Welcome to our community ,
I have installed and work elxis platform with -- > xampp ;)

When you finish with installation , take a look to that article : https://www.elxis.org/guides/developers-guides/local-apache-and-virtual-hosts.html
to redirect elxis and call it like elxis.loc instead of localhost/elxis or 127.0.0.1/elxis  ;)

Before you start installation of XAMPP on Windows 7 read this: http://www.apachefriends.org/f/viewtopic.php?p=148944&sid=fbee6c1b09f8e75d16d41c1c9d491c91

I would like to suggest to take a look at http://www.uniformserver.com/
Is like a real environment and it's for production too. Moreover is lightweight and portable.

Just my little suggestion.  ;)

Ciao

My opinion is that you should not use any of these tools. Download and install PHP, MySQL and Apache separately. Also install the MySQL Query Browser and the MySQL administrator tools. It is not too hard as you think to set them up and you will learn many things on how a REAL system works. By using XAMP, MAMP, uniform server, etc, you might do your work faster but you bypass a HIGHLY IMPORTANT step which is to known the environment on which you built your web site and how things work.

If you are a developer, or you are a professional that create sites for your customers you better follow my advice.
