I downloaded it after seeing your post.
Couldnt manage to start it, errors arise. It seems the VirtualBox cant start.
No much help on documentation side. Ill ask their support and see …
Not sure its better than setting up a MAMP.
Did you get some success running Xojo cgi apps ?
Hi there,
I had no problem installing it and getting a couple of PHP pages running, but thats it so far.
The documentation leaves a lot to be desired. I have not figured out how to get the CGI working, turn on debugging for PHP and install Ruby.
Just to complete this:
Over all, this utility does not do anything that you could not do just using virtual box and vagrant. However it does make it much easier to run multiple sites, so I’d say it’s worth the money.
Hi James,
Good for you
Ive got answers from VirtualHostX, saying it happens « sometimes » and providing a way to re-install.
No more chances, failing to install VirualBox, multiple times.
Whats strange is that VirtualBox is already installed on my Mac and works fine …
I stop trying.
Cheers
Hi Olivier,
I did not have either VirtualBox or Vagrant installed. Probably more likely to work.
