[campsite-dev] New Howto: Installing Campsite 3.0 under Windows Vista
  • Hi all,

    The new notebook I got recently had Windows Vista installed, so I decided
    to try my hand at installing Campsite 3.0 beta 3 on it.

    It worked, but only after running into a few walls, mainly with MySQL and
    the configuration of Apache virtual hosts under Windows.

    Anyway, I've put up a howto page on the Campsite wiki. Please feel free to
    add/change/edit it. This is especially true for those of you who know what
    you're doing under Windows.

    Before we get into some kind of flame war about 'now why the @#$%@%T#@
    would you install Campsite on Windows Vista?', the main reason is that by
    having a local version of Campsite, it greatly speeds the process for
    template makers, who still use proprietary tools like Photoshop and
    Illustrator to make graphics, and may use tools like Dreamwaver or GoLive
    to lay out pages.
