Petrossi Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 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, Furio Quote
Ric Posted December 23, 2009 Report Posted December 23, 2009 Is it possible to use v. 5.x WITH virtual disk as previous 4.x ?Otherwise installations are less portable.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-MonaThis Wiki page provides an overview of current releases: All the bestRic Quote
