Great. VirtualBox won’t install. I’ve tried 3 times now, but it keeps giving me an unexpected error occurred. :/

I would go with the virtual box idea. The file system is essentially an NFS mount (as I understand it) so you could still use your IDE or what have you, you'd just would run the application in VirtualBox.

Because I want to see what’s broken on articleinfo by stepping through the code. Plus. The code needs to be portable right?

May I ask why you're trying to do it on your Windows computer rather than creating a test instance on Labs (where we'll be deploying it anyways), making it work there, and then remembering how you did it, writing a documentation file, and destroying the instance? (Or any other way that doesn't involve doing it on Windows?)

Thanks,

So exactly how do you set up redis to work with PHP on Windows ß(Please don’t hate me for that)? I’m totally unfamiliar with redis. It’s the primary holdup I’m facing to getting the tool to work on my computer.

I'm aware of what's there. I'll work on getting ainfo up in our new home probably Monday or Tuesday. Best I can do between school and holiday weekend family RL stuffs. T13

T13, that was before Hedonil touched the code. There’s all kinds of hardcoded paths and webproxy usages specific to toollabs that I don’t know what to do with.

It is movable because we kind of did it before with moving to xstools. I'll see what I can do after the holiday weekend when I get home unless someone else gets to it first.

I’ve spent nearly a day today get at least one tool to even load on my computer, mainly revision history statistics tool. I’ve had absolutely no luck getting it to work. Unless someone else would like to try, I’m declaring xTools to be unmovable and therefore cannot be moved to xtools.wmflabs.org with our dedicated environment to stabilize xTools. L If no one objects, I would like to move to plan B and get wikihistory temporarily ported to the new environment or the toollabs environment as a temporary replacement to the broken articleinfo tool. That way we at least have the important tools working again for the time being. We should consider moving straight to building a rewrite, one that’s maintainable, portable, and most importantly stable.

Elee, if no one objects to this plan, would you object to rebuilding the instances, at least the dev ones, with the newest available Linux version and the latest PHP version?
