Hello,

We are trying to install limesurvey for a standalone mac (Mac OS X, version 10.5.. We just need this one computer for an off-line survey in an art gallery, for the public to use after they see an art exhibition.

I have downloaded version 1.92 to a folder but am not sure what requirements are needed to build a survey. Do I need XAMPP or MAMP? I know XAMPP is recommended for an offline standalone windows machine, but could not find info on mac requirements.

(also I am not really a mac person so I may be missing obvious info.)

any help, first on system requirements, would be appreciated.

thank you,
Jennifer in Cortland, NY

actually I think it is working by using bitnami download package . . . thanks though!



Jennifer

Does the Bitnami version also work for a Mac?

Hi Mazi,

I downloaded from: www.macupdate.com/app/mac/40929/bitnami-limesurvey-stack/

I made more progress this way, because before I think I was lacking apache etc. that is needed for limesurvey to run. Still, I was not able to get to the limesurvey interface in which you actually build the survey. I will post again if I get it fully functioning.

thank you,
Jennifer

Nice!

HI,

I have the same problem. I downloaded Lime survey with Mammp, but I cannot get access to the interface where you build the survey. When I hit the the bottom to the administrative panel I only get the message "no available surveys" and a drop down list of languages.

This is the index page. You needt to go to the folder /admin/, probably something like https://localhost/limesurvey/admin/

I still can't get it:

When I go to https://localhost/limesurvey/admin, this is what I get:

Not Found

The requested URL /limesurvey/admin was not found on this server.

When I go to https://localhost:8080/limesurvey/admin/

I get the message I mentioned above.

Do you have any other suggestion?

Thanks.

Hello,

I am having the same issue on a stand-alone mac. I was wondering if you were able so solve it. I successfully installed bitnami limesurvey, I can run it and enable the localhost:8080. However, when I enter "https://127.0.0.1:8080/limesurvey/" in the browser I get the following message:


404: Not Found
Unable to resolve the request "limesurvey".

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact UserName LastName.

Can you show your folder structure?

What kind of webserver environment are you running? Are there any other web applications running on this server?

Hi holch,

mmm... I am not so sure where to look for the actual files as bitnami installed everything. I am not aware of any web services currently running. I suspect this is an issue related to Catalina OS. Do you have any pointers on where should I look to give you more specific information?

Cheers

Most of us here do not have Macs, which why I am asking those things to see if there are any problems.

What happens when you go to:
localhost:8080
127.0.0.1:8080

Are you sure the webserver is running? Bitnami must install something. To me, this is rather a Bitnami-issue rather a Limesurvey issue at this point.

Hi holch,

So I just figured out that the bitnami app has also an option to mount the volume containing the folder structure. The folder structure is as explained in the bitmani instructions:

apache2/: Apache Web server.
php/: PHP Scripting Language.
mysql/: MySQL Database.
apps/
limesurvey/: LimeSurvey application folder
conf/: LimeSurvey and Apache configuration files
htdocs/: LimeSurvey PHP application files

When I go to localhost:8080 I get the index page with the legend:
"The following surveys are available:"

Indeed, this may be a bitmani problem. The index page seems to work fine, it's just that I can't manage to access the page to setup my account since I keep getting the 404 error.

No, there is no problem.

If localhost:8080 gives you the index page, then localhost:8080/admin/ should give you the login page for the admin.
