eyeOS and XAMPP
A quick guide to getting eyeOS running on a XAMPP server
The following is a brief guide for anyone having difficulties installing eyeOS. To get eyeOS runningon a server you'll need the following:- A server, ideally Apache.- PHP5- The eyeOS download- A little bit of UNIX sysadmin experience if you're using LinuxIn most cases it's just a matter of copying the extracted eyeOS download to a folder and startingthe program in a web browser. If your system isn't configured to run as a server, or you haveproblems getting it to run properly, fear not. There's a handy download available called XAMPPwhich, in addition to the basic server program, has all the PHP and SQL/MySQL modules you'llneed, plus a nice web-based admin interface.
1. Download XAMPP
The conventional way of going about this is to install Apache and add the PHP modules separately.Instead, I recommend using XAMPP, which I found is much easier to set up, and already includeseverything needed. It's available for Windows, Mac and Linux from
www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html 
2. Installing XAMPP
The next step is to install the XAMPP server. Assuming it's on a Linux system, the installation'sdone the old-fashioned way by opening a terminal session as the root user and moving to thedirectory where you downloaded the XAMPP file to.We want to install XAMPP to the /opt directory, so we use the following command:
user@linux:
supassword:
root@linux:
tar xvfz xampp-linux-1.7.3.tar.gz -C /opt
After the usual dependency check and compiling is finished, the XAMPP directory will be created in
 /opt 
3. Start the XAMPP server
Assuming there weren't any problems installing XAMPP, all we need to do is start the server withthe following command:
root@linux:
/opt/lampp/lampp start
A message will confirm the server's running.
 
4. Test the server
Open a web browser, and enter
http://localhost/ 
in the address bar. If everything's running as itshould, the XAMPP home page will be displayed. Congratulations - you now have a running webserver.
5. Download eyeOS
Now that we have a working web server, it's a simple matter of setting up eyeOS. Get the downloadfrom
http://eyeos.org 
and extract it so you have a directory called eyeOS in the downloads folder.Copy the directory to
 /opt/lammp/htdocs/xampp/eyeOS 
. Next, change the permissions for theeyeOS folder and all its subdirectories to allow everyone to view, modify and execute.You might want to change the directory's name from '
eyeOS 
' to '
eyeosx 
', as it will be moreconvenient for the name to be in lower case.
6. Set up and test eyeOS
Open a web browser and enter http://localhost/xampp/eyeosx/index.php in the address bar. NoweyeOS should start up and run perfectly, and you'll be presented with the login screen followed bythe eyeOS desktop.
