Hi guys,

Trying to setup oxwall on a test server of mine can somebody lead me in the rigth direction. Just want too host a test oxwall site on a virtual machine.

Not really got experiance in installing apache or a webserver but am a server admin so if somebody leads me in the rigth way i can figure out.

Got Apache / PHP and Mysql installed on a W7 test machine with wampserver.

But dont get how to continue installing oxwall

Which step you are stuck with? Did you follow the installation manual? Do you see any errors?

Was searching for some kind of guide for installing it on a own test server.

Becasue not really familiar with the requirements,

Windows ( installed on W7 )

Apache 2 or higher (with mod_rewrite module) ( installed 2.4)

PHP 5.2.6 or higher with: ( installed )

register_globals off
safe_mode off
suPHP off
suApache off
suhosin off

PHP modules:

PDO
DOM
mbstring
zip
zlib
ftp
json

MySQL 5.0 or higher ( installed )

GD Library 2 with FreeType support ( not really certain how to install )

Mail server (SendMail, Exim or other) ( got mail from hosting but can setup Exchange, is it required ? )

Cron ( where to get this ? )

Don't want to ask how to install it step by step on the forum but thougth maby already got an guide off it on forum or somewhere else ???

You can check manuals here: http://docs.oxwall.org/install:manual - they might be helpful. As for Mail server and Cron - you can omit those two requirements if you need a test installation.

A WAMP stack has all things needed for Oxwall. I have my desktop oxwall running on WAMP.

Its straight forward.
