Re: [Chasers-general] CHASERS running on Windows!

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

Hi Joseph.  My apologies for not responding to you earlier.  Apparently 
(and embarrassingly!) my email address wasn't current for the 
chasers-general list, so I didn't see your message until now.

As for your question, the main thing I needed to change was the path to 
the files. In chasers_config.php, I changed $CG_HOME_BY_FILE to be the 
path to the chasers install:

$CG_HOME_BY_FILE = 'C:/Program Files/Apache Software 
Foundation/Apache2.2/htdocs/chasers';

(I believe this is correct, but verify with your installation.  Also, 
it's a different path if you use the Apache & PHP bundled with Postgres).

Since I didn't get SSL enabled, I had to change this line to 'http", 
instead of 'https':

$chasers_home_url='http://'.$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/'.$off;

If you have SSL working, you can leave it unchanged. I'll fix it at some 
point, as it really shouldn't be hard-coded either way.

If you make those changes, when you go to the index page, you should get 
a link to create the engine array.  Click on it, and it should work.

Let me know how it goes, and I'll try to respond a little faster! :)

Cheers,
Ken
