Just installed Apache 2.2, PHP 5, and MySQL on Windows (first time I have tried this other than on linux). Copied the xataface files to the htdoc directory and it reports a successful install, however, opening the first site I created I see…

Code: Select all

`Warning: require_once({DATAFACE_PATH}/dataface-public-api.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in U:\htdocs\xataface\test\index.php on line 12

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘{DATAFACE_PATH}/dataface-public-api.php’ (include_path=’.;C:\php5\pear’) in U:\htdocs\xataface\test\index.php on line 12`

apart from other things, I notice c:\php5\pear is mentioned, and that does not exist in that place

Was this your actual error message, or did you paste in the {DATAFACE_URL} bits?

Oh I see, I have been dumb haven’t I. I need to edit the code to supply the right path?

It’s been a while since I first set up my first site in xataface, and this is only my second, and because it’s Windows, I can’t run the makesite script. Sorry
