So far, the installation works fine... except that the CLI version of PHP is not in the path (and if you create a symbolic link then all sorts of things fail. probably due to the php.ini not being picked up correctly).

Download XAMPP and then execute the following commands as root*:

• unpack/install xampp

tar xvfz xampp -C /opt
rm -r /opt/lampp/htdocs/*

• download and install swisscenter

wget www.swisscenter.co.uk/downloads/swisscenter.zip
unzip swisscenter.zip -d /opt/lampp/htdocs
chown -R nobody:nogroup /opt/lampp/htdocs

• Start XAMPP and switch to PHP4

/opt/lampp/lampp start
/opt/lampp/lampp php4


Now go to !http://localhost/config

Installation instructions (using XAMPP) have been added to the SwissCenter documentation.

NOTE: XAMPP will not function correctly in version 1.19.2 as no CLI version of PHP is present. With SwissCenter 1.20 (when it is released), the requirement to run a command line version of PHP has been dropped because we now use wget to run PHP scripts via the web browser (see* 43).
