Server 2012 elxis orion install help

[SneakerP]

Im trying to install elxus orion on server 2012. I followed the install video but when i go to elxis41con.loc it just displays the apache "it works!" Msg.    Can anyone tell me if there are additional steps for a brand new windows install?

Thanks

Hello SneakerP,

Sorry to say this but you need to check with a windows server forum before trying to setup Elxis.

Are you saying this because its server 2012 or microsoft in general ?

Hello SneakerP,

Elxis requires php, mysql, and apache.   That means that server 2012 has to be setup for that prior to installing Elxis.
The fact that you see "it works!" should mean that you have apache working.
Is php and mysql working on the system?
If not then you might want to see this https://www.mysql.com/why-mysql/windows/

Just checked the net and found that if everything is working then you will most likely be installing Elxis in C:\inetpub\wwwroot

@SneakerP This is not an Elxis issue. You see apache's default page. Because you haven't changed default document root (folder "htdocs") or you haven't moved Elxis files to that folder. If you want to make the setup as the video tutorial then you must create a virtual host entry as the tutorial describes.

Open apache's httpd.conf file and find this:
# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf
Make sure the second line has no comment symbol (hash) in front of it

Now open virtual hosts file httpd-vhosts.conf and add an entry like this:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin info@something.com
    DocumentRoot "E:/myweb/elxis"
    ServerName elxis.loc
    ErrorLog "logs/elxis-error.log"
    CustomLog "logs/elxis.loc-access.log" common
</VirtualHost>

Change the DocumentRoot above to whatever folder you have Elxis files.
Create the 2 log files "elxis-error.log" and "elxis.loc-access.log" in apache's logs folder

Go to C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/
Open notepad as administrator and open the hosts file
Add this line at the bottom of the file:
127.0.0.1       elxis.loc

Restart apache and visit page http://elxis.loc
You should see Elxis installer
