I've tested shared configurations using the XXE_CONFIG environment variable mechanism on both MacOSX and Windows 2000 (I was too lazy to reboot my machine to test this using XP) and it works. Here's what I did on Mac: [1] I created this list file, config.list: --- config/docbook/docbook.xxe config/sdocbook/sdocbook.xxe config/slides/slides.xxe config/xhtml/xhtml.xxe --- My apache web server is configured in order to access this file using URL http://lupo.pixware.fr/xxe/config.list [2] I added these 2 lines to my ~/.profile (I don't use tcsh): --- xxe_conf...@http://lupo.pixware.fr/xxe/config.list export XXE_CONFIG --- [3] I logged out and then I logged in. [4] I started XXE by double clicking on its icon and it didn't work. [5] I opened a Terminal window, made sure that "echo $XXE_CONFIG" prints @http://lupo.pixware.fr/xxe/config.list and then run "open -a XMLEditor" and from the Terminal, it worked (right-click on the status bar to see loaded configs). [6] I used google to locate this: "Setting environment variables for user processes". See http://developer.apple.com/qa/qa2001/qa1067.html [7] I removed the 2 lines from may ~/.profile. I created ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist (see attachment) --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd";> <plist version="1.0"> <dict> <key>XXE_CONFIG</key> <string>@http://194.98.36.87/xxe/config.list</string> </dict> </plist> --- [8] I logged out and then I logged in. [9] I started XXE by double clicking on its icon and this time, it worked. > I am having the same problems setting up config sharing on Windows XP as I am > on MacOSX. > > I have tried adding the following to C:\WINDOWS\system32\AUTOEXEC.NT > > SET xxe_conf...@http://iborg.local/xxe/config.list > or > SET xxe_conf...@http://iborg.local/xxe/config/iniva/iniva.xxe > > After restarting, XXE does not find the config. I know nothing about AUTOEXEC.NT. Here's what I did on Windows 2000: [1] I added this line to C:\autoexec.bat --- set xxe_conf...@http://lupo.pixware.fr/xxe/config.list --- [2] I logged out and then I logged in. [3] I started XXE using the launcher of the Start menu and it worked. Right-clicking on the status bar showed that XXE got its configurations from http://lupo.pixware.fr/ -------------- next part -------------- An embedded and charset-unspecified text was scrubbed...
