    I am in the final step of the install on WAMP. The launch screen has one red light still on, and no matter what I do it whill not go green. This is the instruction on the screen:

    Please create an empty, webserver-writeable file:
    touch C:\wamp\www\allocPSA-1.4.3/alloc_config.php
    chmod 600 C:\wamp\www\allocPSA-1.4.3/alloc_config.php
    chown apache C:\wamp\www\allocPSA-1.4.3/alloc_config.php

    How do you perform these settings on a windows (vista). I do not see an apache user and have given all rights to everyone.

    I would be very happy with some pointers in the right direction.

      Hi Joel,

      I'm not exactly sure how to fix the perm problem on vista. I can tell you that if you plug a file called alloc_config.php into the alloc install directory and you make the contents of that file look like:

      <?php
      define("ALLOC_DB_NAME","put the name of the db here");
      define("ALLOC_DB_USER","put the db username here");
      define("ALLOC_DB_PASS","put that users pass here");
      define("ALLOC_DB_HOST","localhost");
      define("ATTACHMENTS_DIR","put the full path to the writable upload directory here");
      ?>

      And then refresh the page, it should work... btw you will need to ensure that there is absolutely no leading or trailing whitespace in that file, i.e. the first character needs to be < and the last character >

      Kind regards,
