Since I already have a Bitnami customized version of WordPress running well in XAMPP I'd prefer to make Omeka work in the same environment. The second was a suggested workaround for MAMP. I might need to revert back to that version of XAMPP to see if it still works with Omeka today. One was my own solution, three years ago, to switch to XAMPP to avoid the problems with MAMP. I am new as a programer in PHP, I have Macbook Pro so. I can live with this since this is just a be local test version of Omeka.įinally, imagemagick's convert binary is still not being recognized although it is in /opt/local/bin via a macport install. All these above packages are opensource and hence free of cost. PHP (Xampp vs Mamp) Ask Question Asked 8 years, 1 month ago.
To work around this, as a temporary workaround, I had to make it 777. It is, in fact, 775 writeable, including enclosed items. Next, an error message saying Omeka's files directory is not writeable. So using a suggestion I found elsewhere in the forum, I created a new entry in the config.ini file called storage.tempDir and pointed this to a different directory. So far, using the current version of XAMPP, I've encountered the following problems:įirst, /tmp on OS X 10.10.4 is not writeable to Omeka. I also had to open up the permissions.Īgain, I don't know if this will help, but it did result in a working version on Windows.
I got a couple of errors after that, including a record exception, but found all the answers I needed on these forums. Instead, I only took the Wand and Magick CORE dlls from Imagick and dropped them in IM. That is, kobashi recommends switching out all the IM dlls for the ones in the Imagick folder. Then Omeka threw a storage exception that I fixed by restoring all the IM dll files to what they were when I originally downloaded IM. This page describes how to connect to the MySQL Server of MAMP or XAMPP running on the same computer as Sequel Ace. I then had to go find vcomp110.dll and drop it into the folder because IM only gave me vcomp100.dll by default. Then I downloaded NOT the first version of ImageMagick but the one that matched my bitness. I found all my required info: XAMPP (version 5.6.8 / PHP 5.6.8) Apache 2.4.12 (Win32), Bitness 32, Visual C compiler version VC11, 2012, Thread safe
ImageMagick wasn't being recognized, so I followed the instructions on with modifications. I have no idea if this will help you at all because I used Windows 7, and sometimes different operating systems are foreign lands, but I had many of the same problems.
