Hi Michiel and Lars, Thanks for the reply. Firts of all, Linux would make life easier cause then i would not worry about the admin rights, but every system is running win2000 for now and in future will convert to vista. Second, Linux would be easier cause i could use the rpm packages.. (and ofcourse like Michiel says if anything happens....)
But it is no option. L/Xampp, it is indeed an easy test system, that is why i am trying to setup my evaluation with this, it needs no admin rights, and i can port it easyly to an other test system like my collegues pc for example. The last interesting thing is i can export it later on , and import it to the right server. So i do understand that no production system should run on xampp;-) The VM application is kinda cool but it would lak performance for a test system (we would try a less important mailbox to test) and even iff its good performance i run in the problem of installing with out admin right... ok, back on track : iff i install the perl add on, i will still be missing the additional modules for perl. some how downloading them wont work like it should, my install constantly fails.. i do know that the 1.3 version of OTRS had an installer for the modules, does it to for 2.3? Or can i import them from a win /linux RPM? so yes how? Iff i would use xampp to install, do i paste the otrs folder in htdocs from apache or in the root next to apache? Is there an alternative possibility for the cron jobs? Thanks in advance,sincerly Sol 2008/12/15 Michiel Beijen <[email protected]> > I guess you /should/ be able to get OTRS working on XAMPP.
