SMF on an intranet server with XAMPP

[Zorri]

Hello,

I really got a serious problem with installing smf:

It's my aim to establish a forum only for intranet use. This means there are a a few pc's which can internet via a router. On of this pc I want to use as a server to use smf. For that I installed XMAPP.
If I copy smf into a folder and try to open the install.php, a page with thousand of errors open. It says that the language pack is not in the same folder etc etc - (smf 1.0.7) with rc it says that php is required to use that (which is - of course - installed).
I thought the problem is within the root folders, but it seems not to be the problem. Further the restriction to the folders via FTP are also not the problem.

I am totally exhausted - today I spend 10 hours for that - anybody can help?

Thanx...

This really is a server configuration issue.  I suggest asking for help at the XAMPP site.  Better yet, don't use XAMPP - download the individual components and install them yourself.
