[Chameleon] Chameleon Installation

[Dave Astolfo]

I had similar problems. There is a discussion about this in the list. To
save you time, try this in the index.html file. I was told that there
was an error in the function call.

See the text // CHANGE THIS TO MATCH YOUR INSTALL for items you will
have to change.

<?
/*
 * this is a sample of a minimal application script required to
 * get a chameleon application running with a template and a
 * local map file.  Most applications should actually just
 * copy this file and modify the template and mapfile
 * parts and should not need to do a lot more here.

I tried a couple of days to get chameleon 1.1 work. It doesn't. I have a
working installation of Maplab that works fine, except for the colour
picker that do not display, (maybe some java configuration problem, I
have only Microsoft VM), so Mapserver, PHP, PHP mapscript is assumed to
be correctly installed, and I can navigate in all the demos I found. I
could even deploy an application using Gmf_factory and with the help of
the list, I was able to add to the rosa tools the ruler widget, (next
days I'll post the suggestion the list provided). Chameleon instead,
doesn't work. I get the same problems posted on the list by Tracy
Howlett in december, when tring to access the test.html or demo.html
file I can't see any widget, while accessing chameleon.php returns a
blank page. I read all the suggestions, I tried the indications in
Chamaleon Wiki about installing with IIS and windows 2000 (which is my
system), I tried a lot of times changing paths over paths
unsuccessfully, and since I cannot get any error message I don't know
what to do now.
Questions:
inside the last version of chameleon 1.1, I cannot find cwc2.php wich
was present in the previous release (I need it or no ?, cwc2.php is
referred by other files, so I made the supposition that cwc2.php was
missing, but even adding to the installation, chameleon still doesn't
work)

the reference to geobase_en.html in cwc2.xml is needed ? It is missing
in my installation and I don't know where to get it.

which is the html, or php or phtml file that I have to access to start
the chameleon environment ?

Any help will be greately appreciated. But please be simple I'am a
newbie.
