[gbd-dev] Gubed under Windows/Apache

[Brett S. <tec...@se...>]

As a work around, I've attempted to use Apache vs. IIS on Windows for
debugging, which should be close enough in most cases.

I worked strictly with the latest CVS.  I placed the ServerScripts
directory in the web server root and was not able to run the test bench
scripts via StartSession.php (via the supplied hyper-links).

The first issue is that StartSession.php seems to want to prepend all
scripts with 'c:\'.  I found this also caused issues when trying to run
out of user's public_html directories, see below.  I add a line after
line 38 of StartSession.php:

$gbdBase = substr( ... );  // Existing line 38

$gbdBase = '';  // Force to null to inhibit prepending c:\

With this in place, I still had errors.  If I changed the prefix: /php
to GubedTest (i.e, changed /php/tests/... to GubedTest/tests...)  All
seemed to work.  I'm presuming this is a simple change to the
hyperlinks.

I then moved on to replicating the Linux home public_html environment.
Since Windows doesn't have soft-links, I had to copy StartSession.php
into the desired directory and then fully qualify the path to Gubed
includes.  I attempted to update the php include path which didn't work,
even to the extent of seeing the correct directory in the error message.
I modified  the require_once and include near the bottom of
StartSession.php like so:

require_once('C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\ServerScripts\GubedFunctions.php');

include('C:\Program Files\Apache
Group\Apache2\htdocs\ServerScripts\Gubed.php');

So far this environment *seems* to work as well at the Linux
environment.
