What questions do you have?
I just downloaded mysql, php and installed geeklog 1.3.7 on my windows
workstation running IIS. First time I tried it and it worked flawlessly.
I created a virtually directory called geeklog and had it point to
c:\inetpub\geeklog\public_html
I copied the geeklog files to c:\inetpub\geeklog
1. Edit your config.php to the correct paths.
//
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | SERVER
SETTINGS |
//
| |
// | All paths must have a trailing slash ('/'). If you're on Windows,
they |
// | must also start with a drive letter (e.g.
'C:/'). |
// | The 'path' value signifies where the config.php (this file)
resides |
//
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
$_CONF['path'] = 'c:/inetpub/geeklog/'; //
C:/inetpub/wwwroot/geeklog/ ****** This is the only line I changed.
// You only need to change this if you moved or renamed the public_html
// directory. In that case, you should specify the complete path to the
// directory like this (i.e. without the $_CONF['path']):
// $_CONF['path_html'] = '/path/to/your/public_html/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'public_html/';
//
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
// | SITE
SETTINGS |
//
| |
// | These settings help define your Geeklog
site. |
//
+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
// make sure this is the correct URL to your site (no trailing slash)
$_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://localhost/geeklog'; ***** make
sure you change this line too.
2. edit your lib_common.php
/**
* Configuration Include: You should ONLY have to modify this line.
* Leave the rest of this file intact!
*/
require_once( 'c:/inetpub/geeklog/config.php' ); **** change this line
4. run the install at http://localhost/geeklog/admin/install/install.php
Follow the instructions and you have site up and running.
This is how it worked for me.
