I've been evaluating a number of learning management systems and FormaLMS looks good.

I downloaded the 2.0 version and attempted to install on top of a new installation of the latest XAMPP release.
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/forma/ ... =directory)

The FormaLMS install stops at step 2 and reports that there is a permission problem with config.php.
A little investigation reveals that the problem is that there is not a config.php in the FormaLMS base
directory. There is a config.dist.php, but no config.php. The file path was determined by adding
a print statement to Step2Controller.php where the "is_writable" check is performed against
"_base_.'/'.$file_name".

I see that this version was just released, so perhaps this was just an oversight ?

Thanks,

The installer can run without the config.php file. It will made new one at the end of installation. The config.php will be write onto the root folder (if writetable) or will be downloadable.

If step2 stuck without the config.php create an empty file in root folder

Yes ! I had to revert from XAMPP 7.2.6 to XAMPP 7.0.30-0 and create an empty config.php.
It's up and running.
Thanks !

Yeah
Php 7.2 is not yet fully supported

I am trying to install formalms 2.0 in PHP - 7.0.3
Ubuntu - 16.04.1. I get red highlighted in step 7 "The installer was unable to save the config.php file, download it and overwrite it online.". I have downloaded config file and uploaded in root folder using filezilla. After this my webpage does not open up. I have tried setting a blank copy of config.php file and done a fresh install. I still get the same message. I tried removing config.dist.php .. I still get the same message. I am not able to past step 7 ...worse, after step 7 when i try to open page, I get "this page isn't working "

Just as an update , I was able to pass step 7 without any red lines - Installation is complete. I gave all access to the files and config.php file (config.php file was created as a blank page). So the final message is isntallation complete. Now when i go to my browser to type of the ip address of vps. It gives me "this page isn't working" ...... any help ??
