[Chameleon] RE: Fwd: Problems installing Chameleon on Linux

Hi again Paul,

We've tried installing both 1.1 and 1.0, and have run into problems.

We first tried installing 1.1. Due to the way our server is configured, we
could not install Chameleon to the root. We updated the config file to
accommodate the different install directory. When we tried to run Chameleon,
all that was returned was html document with an empty body.  

We then tried installing 1.0.5 in the same manner. With 1.0.5 we managed to
get the html template rendering, but the DHTML map widget, as well as the
button widgets didn't display. I 

I have already done some work with 1.0.5 in the windows environment, and I
experienced the same problem installing 1.1 as we had in Linux.

Thanks again for your help Paul,

Chris

Hi Chris,

couple of admin items ... you'll get better response if you email the
chameleon users list (chameleon@lists.maptools.org) but you will have to
join the list first.  It's not high traffic (yet).  Also, please post to the
list using text email (not HTML) if at all possible.

The installation instructions are for version 1.0 and are currently the only
ones available.

As to version, the current stable version is 1.0.6 and the current
development version is 1.1 (soon to be 1.99).  The development version is
currently undergoing 'stabilization' of its API and will be starting into a
beta release by the end of February with a target for releasing
1.99 (or at least a release candidate) by end March.  That being said, much
of 1.1 is pretty much useable as is, we have used it on a number of projects
with great success.  Once 1.99 is out, we will wind down support for 1.0 as
quickly as we can move everyone to 1.99 because it offers greater
functionality and performance than 1.0 is able to.

If you are trying to get a production application out the door by end March
then I would recommend starting with 1.0 as long as you are prepared to
migrate in the summer.  If you are looking for something after March 31st,
then I would recommend getting started with 1.1 right now.

Regarding installation difficulties, please let me know what, specifically,
seems to be the problem and what you have done.

Cheers,

Paul
