Trying to get some software to work on Windows but so far no luck. Could some please help, here the instructions. So far i have installed XAMPP but no idea what exactly they mean with clone or what exactly repo is.

Windows
Settings for a Worldview development environment

Worldview may be setup on Windows with XAMPP. First install XAMPP, the default location is at C:\xampp. Clone the Worldview repo at C:\xampp\htdocs and then the configuration repo in Worldview.

Edit the httpd.conf file at <xampp root>\apache\conf to uncomment:

"LoadModule expires_module modules/mod_expires.so"
"LoadModule filter_module modules/mod_filter.so"
"LoadModule deflate_module modules/mod_deflate.so"

Turn on xampp, and Worldview should be ready at "localhost/worldview/web"! If you encounter any code 500 errors, check the error log at <xampp root>\apache\logs

    Clone just means make an exact copy of that directory c:\xampp\htdocs (and all subdirectories/files inside) into wherever you have installed it. Then copy the config directory into your own config directory (or file).

    Repo is techspeak for repository, meaning, that directory which holds your files.

    Have you tried running this on the OS it was intended for? Linux is freedom. That aside the instructions are clear. Check to see if Apache is running though … ps aux | grep httpd Ctrl + Alt + ESC and look for httpd.exe in processes.

    • retiredfeline on 19/03/2017 - 21:08

      ps aux | grep httpd

      pidof httpd

      but this fails if it's called something else like httpd-prefork, so you use that process name the next time.

        Just as I was giving up on the prospect of Linux OzBers. :D After all … a free OS is a bargain!

        Still prefer ps aux | grep [proc name] on account of it listing the process launch options which gives you an idea of which one your after if there are multiple. Chrome for example …

        pidof http* will also do the trick

          Windoze has lots of free stuff also: free bugs, free malware, free ads, etc. LOL.

          @greenpossum: Don't forget free DRM haha
