Creating a katlas mirror on a windows machine

You'll need to download three things:

Downloads

The Saint WAMP (a pre-built combination of Apache, MySQL and PHP, for windows.)

From http://sourceforge.net/projects/yawamp/

Get version 3.4 or greater (with PHP 5).

The katlas web site

The latest backup, created nightly, is at http://katlas.math.toronto.edu/backup/web-backup.tar.gz

You may want to begin downloading this while you install Saint; it's a big download (>200mb).

The katlas sql database

Again, the nightly backup is at http://katlas.math.toronto.edu/backup/wikidb-backup.sql.gz

(It is certainly possible to do this without Saint; I've successfully installed all the components separately in the past. --Scott 21:05, 4 Dec 2005 (EST))

Install Saint

Just run the executable. I highly recommend that you do not accept the default installation directory, but instead choose a directory which does not include any spaces. Otherwise, you can just accept all the default choices. (If you're pressed for space, you can choose not to install filezilla or hamster.) In the last dialog box, you'll be given the option to start the service (selected by default). Do this!

Configuring Saint

(See also the Saint README for further details.)

1. Go to http://localhost:3000/
2. You'll be prompted for a username and password. These are initially admin and accessrequired.
3. Change to English, using the drop down box at the top left of the window.
