I'm not sure where to put this thread, so I do it in the General forum.

In a few weeks we'll be running Exponential on Linux on our host partner. While I'm waiting I've downloaded the app to my local machine and installed it. My system is Windows XP professional and IIS 5.

I did run the setup and I work fined. All the tables are installed in the MySQL database. I get no errors, but I know there is a problem with the extension php_imagick.dll. I just couldn't find a way to install it.

But anyway, the problems comes when I'm trying to run the site after installing it. I did set it up as an intranet on the root, so my URL are "localhost". When I go there I see a login page. When I try to login something strange happends with the URL. In the querystring there is missing a "?", which causes my system to return an error 404 File not found.

I.e:

http://localhost/index.php/intranet/user/login

The correct would be:

http://localhost/index.php?/intranet/user/login

Hope this is understandable. Can anyone help?

Mvh,

Hi

Have you read folling.

IIS is not supported by Exponential yet. Please switch to apache and configure it and fix all virtualhost settings and it should work then :-)

Thanks Gurudutt Verma!

Hmmm.... would have been nice to have read that yesterday morning when I started to install Exponential :D Guess I only can kick myself for that :D

As of now I'm reading about installing the apache web server on my machine. Do you have any links for that?

I will suggest you to use bundeld installation if you are very new to Exponential. see here

or
To install apache on windows see here and I suggest you please do some google thing and you will find some more easy way to install apache on windows.
