Re: [Tikiwiki-devel] Moving to Linux platform

[Gary Cunningham-L. <ga...@cu...>]

I had a problem with XAMPP when Tiki got PDO, but otherwise haven't had 
much trouble due to using Windows. I switched to WampServer2 and don't 
have any trouble, running trunk and some of the branches. There have 
been glitches from time to time that seem to be Windows-specific, so 
maybe there's something particular in what Alain is doing that causes a 
problem. Alain, did the default trunk with no profiles run ok?
