Achievo/Manual/Installation/Installation and update/Installation/windows workstation

This manual will describe how to install Achievo on a Windows Workstation like XP or Vista with the help of a WAMP package.

Install WAMP

You can use any WAMP package you want, but in the manual we will describe how to install Achievo with the Vertrigo package. After downloading the executable click on it an follow the instructions on the screen.

Install Achievo

Download Achievo and unzip it to a directory of your choice. In this manual we will use the directory C:\www\achievo for it.

Configure apache

First go to the directory where config files are located, in my installation this is: C:\Program Files\VertrigoServ\Apache\conf. Here you need to create a new directory called: 'vhosts'. Then edit the httpd.conf with your favorite text editor and search for Section 3, Virtual Hosts and make sure you have the following lines:

 NameVirtualHost *:80
 Include conf/vhosts/*.conf

In the vhosts directory place a file called 'achievo.conf' with:

 <VirtualHost *:80>
     DocumentRoot "c:\www\achievo"
     ServerName achievo
     <Directory "C:\www\achievo">
       Options Indexes FollowSymLinks Includes
       AllowOverride All
       Order allow,deny
       Allow from All
     </Directory>
 </VirtualHost>

You can change 'C:\www\achievo' into the directory where you install Achievo.
