[Chameleon] Chameleon Installation

[Bart van den Eijnden]

Hi Gianluigi,

the default_template parameter dates from the Chameleon 1.0 timeframe if I 
recall correctly. It will not influence your Chameleon 1.1 installation as 
you will provide your template in the application (index.phtml of the 
application to be precisely).

Chameleon has a config option where you can have a web-interface on the 
cwc2.xml file, but essentially it works through the use of applications, 
like the sample application. Normally this web config is accessible 
through the following URL (Alias URL "filepath"):

Alias /chameleon_admin "/ms4w/apps/chameleon/htdocs_admin"

Can you get the Chameleon config to work, and did you install the sample 
application?

Best regards,
Bart
