[Chasers-general] CHASERS running on Windows!

[Kenneth T. <ken...@gm...>]

Hey folks.  I thought some of you might be interested to know that I was 
able to successfully get CHASERS running on Windows.  This may be useful 
for any potential users who are really committed to staying with the 
Windows platform. 

I haven't fully tested it, and expect there might be some minor things 
that would need tweaking, likely related to paths and file handling.  
But it's apparently a much smaller deal than I might have imagined.

As a tech note, although it took me a while to get Apache, PHP & 
Postgres running, CHASERS itself was pretty easy, and only required 
changing the path to the files, plus fixing one line of code (there's an 
'https' hard-coded that needs to be fixed).  I didn't get SSL (for 
Apache) or table_log (for Postgres) working, so I don't have https or 
revision history working, but I don't think these are CHASERS issues.  
It's not that the can't run, just that I didn't bother setting up SSL, 
and don't have access to a Windows development environment to compile 
table_log.

At some point I'll update the documentation with this new information.

Let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks.

Ken
