php script Config settings

Question

I have found a little script which looks interesting, you can download the svn from google code at http://code.google.com/p/streetwire/source/browse/

I am trying to set it up on my xampp localhost install, and there is little documentation, here are the first two lines of the config

// Paths
define('VHOST_DIR', '/data/vhost');
define('ROOT_DIR', VHOST_DIR . '/www.streetwire.org');

I have tried the following settings but it doesnt seem to work

// Paths
define('VHOST_DIR', 'C:/xampp/htdocs');
define('ROOT_DIR', VHOST_DIR . '/streetwirescript');

For anyone who has looked at the script, im not sure where to go for the 'start' page of the script either!!

Any thoughts on what should go into Vhost_dir?

Answer 1

Searching through the trunk (http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=root_dir+package%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fstreetwire.googlecode.com&origq=vhost_dir&btnG=Search+Trunk), VHOST_DIR is only used to define ROOT_DIR. It looks like all that matters is that ROOT_DIR points to the folder that the script is located in.

Answer 2

It's also possible that the script doesn't run on Windows.

Answer 3

It looks like you need to set /docs as the document root for this to work. E.g. index.php I assume you've seen INSTALL too.

Do you have error reporting on and set to maximum? There's a devsite constant in config that I assume gives error information too. What errors are you getting?
