Algemeen

In deze instructie wordt aangegeven hoe je het LimeSurvey XAMPP package installeert op je lokale Windows PC. Dit is niet bedoeld voor een productie-omgeving, want het is ingesteld voor een omgeving met maar één gebruiker.

Vereisten

Je Windows systeem moet aan de volgende minimale vereisten voldoen:

• 64 MB RAM
• 350 MB beschikbare schijfruimte
• Windows NT, 2000, 2003, XP, VISTA of Windows 7

Additional hints

• LimeSurvey needs a running web server software (Apache) and a database (MySQL), which are both installed by the XAMPP package. Also both applications are started automatically by the setup. After you restart your PC you will need to start these again by using the XAMPP Control panel. If you want these to start automatically on startup you can use the XAMPP control panel to install the applications as services - just check the related boxes in the XAMPP control panel.
• The XAMPP packages is only meant to be able to install LimeSurvey on your local PC in an easy way. It won't/shouldn't be possible for anyone on the Internet to access your surveys.
• The XAMPP package is meant as a single user solution and not should be installed a real web server.
