Installing ProjectPier on a local server
Submitted by Roland on Sat, 09/15/2007 - 19:06.
Sometimes you will try some new things, modify some themes or translate ProjectPier into your language. This can be very slow or means a lot of FTP’ing to your hosted web space. An easier way to do this is to run ProjectPier on a local server on your computer.
In the How-To section you will find a short tutorial how to set up ProjectPier on a local server with XAMPP.

Hey Roland, great How-To, I'll give it a try tomorrow to verify your instructions. -Jon
Roland, I followed your instructions and it worked just fine for me, thanks for writing them!!
Roland-
thanks for a great walkthrough. I really want to check out ProjectPier. Unfortunately when following your steps I still get the "InnoDB storage engine is not supported".
I have stopped, restarted and done just about everything I can think of with XAMPP to get it to run. These are the steps I have carried out so far:
I opened up Notepad ++ and dragged the my icon from mysql\bin into it. I made the changes you suggest so that now my "my" looks like this at line 63
# skip-innodb
# Uncomment the following if you are using InnoDB tables
innodb_data_home_dir = /xampp/mysql/data/
innodb_data_file_path = ibdata1:10M:autoextend
innodb_log_group_home_dir = /xampp/mysql/data/
innodb_log_arch_dir = /xampp/mysql/data/
# You can set .._buffer_pool_size up to 50 - 80 %
# of RAM but beware of setting memory usage too high
set-variable = innodb_buffer_pool_size=16M
set-variable = innodb_additional_mem_pool_size=2M
# Set .._log_file_size to 25 % of buffer pool size
set-variable = innodb_log_file_size=5M
set-variable = innodb_log_buffer_size=8M
innodb_flush_log_at_trx_commit=1
set-variable = innodb_lock_wait_timeout=50
I've stopped and started XAMPP, and even rebooted to no avail. In PHPmyAdmin it also says:
InnoDB has been disabled for this MySQL server
Any ideas as to where I am going wrong? I'm using XAMPP 1.6.3 on WindowsXP professional.
Thanks for your time, and what looks like a great app.

This might be a stupid question, but did you put the "hash" sign before "skip-innodb"? In the "my" file it must say:
# skip-innodb
When looking at your post I don't see it. BTW: I used 1.6.3a on XP Pro for the How-To.

apparently this is exactly what my problem is. all entry that has "innodb" in front of them has been commented, and everything works fine. thank you
