I'm using Dev-PHP 2.0.12 on Win2k/IE6 with no webserver. PHP 5.0.4.4 was installed separately. I'm trying to run DokuWiki (http://wiki.splitbrain.org/) locally to test new pages before sending to our intranet. When I load doku.php into the Dev-PHP editor and hit F9 I get: "metadir does not exist or isn't writable. Check config!". I assume this refers to php.ini, but I'm not sure what I need to change. I have already set doc_root = "I:\dokuwiki-2005-07-13" which is where the DokuWiki files are located. My Dev-PHP settings are:
Parser: C:\PHP\php-cgi.exe
php.ini: C:\WINNT\php.ini
Local Server Path: I:\dokuwiki-2005-07-13
Port: 8080
External Web Server: Not set
I'd be grateful for any help.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I just created a small php file with the phpinfo function and the internal preview works perfectly. This probably means that Dev-PHP is unhappy with something in the DokuWiki code, or perhaps DokuWiki needs to run under a web server. Either way, I suspect that there won't be a simple solution and I wouldn't expect you to waste your time on it. Thanks anyway for a nice IDE.
