Installing DMO Under Windows
============================

With version 2.1, DMO has now been tested under Windows XP.

As a prerequisite, we strongly recommend downloading and
installing XAMPP for Windows, which provides the MySQL, Apache
and PHP that is required to run DMO.  Note that we have not 
tested DMO with Internet Information Server (IIS), and that
if installed, it must be removed before XAMPP is installed.

Download XAMPP for Windows from 
http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp-windows.html

Follow the instructions provided for installing XAMPP, then
return to this point.

After XAMPP is installed, download dmo-2_1beta.zip to
your C: drive, and extract it into subdirectory DMO.
Open a Windows command prompt, (click Run, "cmd"), then
change directory into the DMO/Windows folder you just 
unzipped.  This directory should contain the following
files:
  dmo_install.bat
  LFX_config
  LFX_dbData.php
  LFXlink.php

Note the following script assumes that you have installed
XAMPP in C:\Program Files\XAMPP, and you are using the
password "secret" for the database (you'll need to edit
the file LFX_dbData.php if using a different password.)
Don't forget to follow the instructions with XAMPP that
tell you how to improve the security of your system, 
and change the passwords as soon as possible.

Note also you need to edit php.ini to increase RAM
available, and add the MultiViews option to httpd.conf,
as explained in the documentation.

Now run the script dmo_install.bat, and follow the
instructions.  When complete, DMO should be available
via the Web interface, e.g.:

  http://localhost/dmo_new   (normal HTTP) OR 
  https://localhost/dmo_new  (with SSL)

Please read the other README file, and look at the DMO
User Guide, which you can find in the docs subdirectory.

Good luck, and enjoy using the DMO!
