Hello,

I am wanting to install and setup a site using Joomla, and just read through the tutorial on the site. The tutorial however uses XAMPP as the setup and configures PhpEd to work with that.

Is it possible instead to use the SRV server for a Joomla installation?

thanks for your help!

It worth to give a try

you may want to check the following project settings:

run mode -> http / 3rd party web server
url -> http://localhost:8080/
remote root -> same as project root.


(I assumed that you run SRV on port 8080 and installed joomla into a directory pointed by project root. If not, you need to correct the settings)

Great - thank you dmitri!

I'll try installing it this way and post back with how it works out.

I am using PHPed to develop for Joomla / mambo.

And yes it works well with Joomla/mambo.

hqr: thanks, but if I got it right, the question was whether SRV works or he needs to run apache or iis.

Hello,

I just wanted to post back how this went, since I just installed Joomla v1.0.x on the server for a site I'm starting up. I tried the 3rd party web server the way dmitri suggested, but I kept getting a run error that the mappings weren't correct. I then tried HTTP Mode (SRV local Web Server) and everything seems fine so far!

I ran the web installer without any problems, and I've been navigating around the site for awhile. I'll post back if any issues arise!

thanks,
-Eric
