Who reads readmes besides noobs
I have a 64 bit Vista desktop that I do all my development on. Following the instructions on an Adobe tute for using Dreamweaver 5’s WordPress capability I stalled XAMMP in C:\xampp
My computer has lots of 32 bit programs, but they are in program files (x86)
The 1.7.4 readme says
64 MB RAM (RECOMMENDED)
- 350 MB free fixed disk
- Windows NT, 2000, 2003, XP (RECOMMENDED), VISTA
- Only 32 Bit (NOT for 64 bit systems)
I did not disable UAC before I installed it and I proceeded with all the setup of a PHP development environment, and installed WordPress, not noticing that I had an error that googling has led me to believe has afflicted others with a 64 bit system
I have since disabled UAC & rebooted but XAMPP control panel still says XAMPP Component Status Check failure, Current directory c:\xampp, run this program only from your XAMPP root directory
The readme says no 64 bit. Should I uninstall everything & start over, hoping that disabling UAC before installing XAMPP is the fix, or switch to a 32 bit laptop, which I really hate to do, I work on a desktop & only goof off on a laptop, though I could hook up a keyboard & monitor and be almost as comfortable
