<![CDATA[Glump.net]]> Commentics Ed forget my question, unless you experience the same problem.
It was just a matter of "timing".
My XP machine probably had some time settings and was slow (older hardware), so some time-out in the browser kicked in before the wiki was totally up and could reply. I accidently tried a refresh of the browser after a couple of minutes and the wiki appeared.

]]> Tue, 06 Jan 2015 08:17:29 -0500 item_76 Ed Used the microAppache build and got up and running in minutes on my Win7 64-bit machine.
However, when I moved the stick over to my old XP machine, the browser did not find the wiki, but rather gave me the classic "The page cannot be displayed" message. The command window (where the apache is started from and that waits for a keystroke to close it down) did not show any errors or other unexpected messages.
Is there anything I should do when moving from 64-bit Win7 to (oviously 32_bit) WinXP?

I didn't know this either until today, but the original MicroApache project (which was linked from the "DokuWiki on a stick" page but has now been removed) is not used anymore for that special download from download.dokuwiki.org. It is a custom-built solution which is fairly up-to-date.

I vaguely knew it existed in the past, but I might have had some trouble with it the last time I tried it. My solution doesn't include a web server other than what comes with PHP, so it's smaller. YMMV.

Thanks for pointing it out.

]]> Tue, 01 Jul 2014 15:23:50 -0400 item_72 Anika The by far easiest way to set up a portable DokuWiki on Windows is by using the option to include a web server from the official download page. I.e. there already is a built in solution from the official download and you don't even mention it. Have you had any problems with it or did you not know that it exists?

From download.dokuwiki.org:


You may optionally include a minimal Webserver with PHP in your download. This is useful for quickly trying DokuWiki or for running it from an USB stick. This is recommended for personal, single-user use only.

]]> Sat, 24 May 2014 12:11:42 -0400 item_70 wim geurden followed your directions - php does not start; when executing the last line in your cmd file, in a command prompt, ensuring all param are resolved - nothing happens besides a message displaying a php help command
