Hello Dr. Hinostroza,
thanks a lot for the complete feedback on the installation. Let us hope
we can
improve the care2x as soon as possible.

Dear Jorge and Elpidio,
As offered, here are my comments on the installation of Xampplite + iPath +
Care2x:
Equipment used:
HP 2.4Ghz laptop using 512 MB RAM
Fresh install of WinXP + Service Pack 2 + AVG Firewall + Spybot
Unzipped into C:/xampplite
Double-clicked setup_xamp.bat and went through an extremely short setup
(less than 10 seconds)!!! This was way faster than my trusted Sokkit!!!
What was installed:
Apache 2.0.53
MySQL 4.1.110
PHP 5.0.3
OpenSSL 0.9.7e
MiniPerl 5.8.3
SQLite 2.8.15
phpMyAdmin 2.6.1pl3
XAMP security 1.0
Double-clicked xampp_start.exe and opened the browser to http://127.0.0.1
Start page (htdocs) loaded successfully!!!
THEN,
I went to httpd.conf in the apache folder and:
Changed UTF-8 to ISO-8851 because Care2X is not UTF-8 compliant
Changed "en" to "es" (Spanish) in Language priority
Rebooted apache and mysql
This time apache could not start again due to my "errors" in http.conf
SO,
I trashed the entire xampplite folder, rebooted and reinstalled as to
quickly recover the localhost start page (just to let you know that nothing
is saved on the Windows registry so you can just delete the xampplite folder
to make a clean install).
I opened the iPath on localhost and installation of the database was very
easy. I then added some 20 translations to the XML language file, (very
easy, BTW) but somehow I didn't have root permission to store the changes as
an external file (or at least update the file) and lost the translation :0(
In conclusion:
Since it's extremely easy to install, the idea of running it from a USB
Flash drive sounds great. Switching languages in iPath is just as simple as
switching languages in Care2X.
Final comment
Care2X needs work on the language pack. The guys at phpMyAdmin have a very
efficient solution: 3 files for each language. Spanish, for example, are:
spanish-iso-8859-1.inc.php
spanish-iso-8859-15.inc.php
spanish-utf-8.inc.php
That way we all agree on language updates and charset conversion settings.
For phpMyAdmin (as their official translator into Spanish), I only translate
spanish-iso-8859-1.inc.php. They have an algorithm for creating the other
two files. I can ask them for guidance if someone with programming
knowledge is willing to help me with the conversions of the Care2X language
packs.
All the very best,
Daniel
