[chameleon] install troubles Chameleon 1.1

[Paul Spencer]

Bart,

the /ms4w is not a web location but rather a filesystem directory.  An
apache alias will not suffice, you will need to change the paths.

These files were pre-configured to be installed in the root of a drive
on windows (like c:/ or d:/), all references to the drive letters were
removed to make it possible to move the installation to a different
drive without requiring a lot of reconfiguring.  The directory structure
that is expected in this case is:

/ms4w/apps/chameleon
/ms4w/apps/chameleon/htdocs <- apache alias "chameleon" to this
/ms4w/apps/chameleon_sample
/ms4w/apps/chameleon_sample/htdocs <- alias to here as well
/ms4w/tmp/
/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/  <- alias "ms_tmp" to here
/ms4w/tmp/ms_tmp/buttons/

The map file that comes with the chameleon_sample has it's web object
set up for these tmp directories.

If you don't use this structure then you will need to edit some paths.

Cheers,

Paul

(ps if you want a preconfigured environment, email me)
