Hi, I need a little assistance to install editwrx.  I found the topic on how to install on a xampp setup. I updated to the latest version of xampp   1.6.7   which includes apache 2.2.9 and installed newest Perl 5.10.0  from xampp website. I changed the http.cnfg file and added cgi as a new file extension in windows as instructed. I don't have any virtual hosts, so i skipped that part.

Once all this was finished I can now run either script from the editwrx folder I placed in the root directory.

 

When I run the installer it creates ikons & library folders and wrx.cgi then gives me this error. 

The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request.

Error message:
Premature end of script headers: installer.cgi

 

So I delete all this and unzip the editwrx.zip into the editwrx folder and run wrx.cgi.

I get a login screen , but when I enter the user :  admin   Psssword:  start      it freezes there with the hourglass.

 

Please help figure out what I need to correct.

Thanks very much. Hope to make editwrx a large part of my site.

Can anyone please help me to get this installed. I plan to buy, but wan't to make sure it will run on my system. I am running my own webserver using xampp and windows, so I have total access to anything I need to change. My main site is run with Joomla, but this is too complex for any community users. I love this wonderfull script, but need help to get it up and running.

 

 

Thanks for any help you can provide.

P.S.    Is the Editwrx project still active?   It's been over a day and no replys.  :(

It sounds like there may be a problem writing to files.

1) Open the /library/data/users.txt file. It should contain only admin=start. If it does not, change the file to contain only admin=start.

2) Attempt to login at /exitwrx/wrx.cgi as admin. If it does not login, open /library/data/users.txt again. This time it should contain admin=cek/pAJNiDF66

If it did not rewite the word start to cek/pAJNiDF66 that gives us a clue what the problem might be

Thanks very much for your reply Keith.

 

I changed text as you instructed to admin=start and tried to login.

It still freezes at login screen. I opened users.txt again and it did change to

admin=cek/pAJNiDF66.

 

 Could the absence of suExec cause this problem?

Thanks for your help Keith. It's working great now.  For anyone running Xampp this is how to fix:

The Perl add-on package installs two copies of Errno.pm, one in xampp/perl/lib/ and one in xampp/perl/site/lib/.

On line 12 and 13, the one in xampp\perl\site\lib\ is looking for version 4 and appears to be an old module. The one in xampp\perl\lib\Errno.pm is looking for version 5 and appears to be the correct module.

Removing xampp\perl\site\lib\Errno.pm resolves the issue.
Hope this may help someone in the future.

 

Thanks again for your great support Keith.
