Version 5.x and Virtual Disk

[Petrossi]

V. 5.x in some installation (ex. Dokeos) create an absolute path like C:/Users/Username/desktop/UniServer/www that create problems moving the server.

 

The 4.0 version used a virtual disk, so Z:/www/ more portable (the application works in pendrives or locally or if necessary globally).

 

Is it possible to use v. 5.x WITH virtual disk as previous 4.x ?

Otherwise installations are less portable.

 

Thanks,

No the V5 series was specifically designed to remove the requirement for a virtual drive. The new architecture offers more flexibility and controllability.

V. 5.x in some installation (ex. Dokeos) create an absolute path like C:/Users/Username/desktop/UniServer/www that create problems moving the server.

True however these absolute paths are confined to an applications configuration file, which requires a small tweak for portability. See Wiki for application examples

The 4.0 version used a virtual disk, so Z:/www/ more portable (the application works in pendrives or locally or if necessary globally).

The V4 series is not dead current versions are 4.5-Mona and 4.5a-Mona

Thank you, I proposed to Dokeos' developers a modification in installation routine.

I'm testing the Dokeos "portable version 2" using your suggestions:
