==============================================================

Hi guys,

As mentioned above I'm trying to run CATS on a local XAMPP install here in the office. I'm facing several error messages.

Firstly, when I try and login, I SOMETIMES get a huge list of errors at the top of the page; as I say it only happens sometimes which is weird.

I can log in no problem, however once I'm there I got more errors. Underneath where it says:

Important Candidates (Submitted, Interviewing, Offered in Active Job Orders) - Page 1 (0 Items)

I get the following:

When I go to the "Activities" Page at the top I get:

To be honest, there seem to be errors relating to XAMPP all over the place. I'm guessing if I stuck this in the live environment it would probably be fine, but I'm hoping to keep it localhost and out of public view.

Do any of you have experience with running it in XAMPP? Any and all advice is much appreciated.

These errors are related to the PHP version and have nothing to do with XAMPP. As a matter of fact, these are not errors but just notifications from PHP of deprecated syntax used in Open CATS.

You can safely ignore them by setting error reporting to 0 on you PHP.ini file (up to PHP 5.4).
Info here: http://php.net/manual/en/function.error-reporting.php

Alternatively you can try to update the code by hand, is quite easy with a little PHP knowledge and it involves replacing the ereg_replace functions with preg_replace (just mind the new syntax for the regex) and replacing all of the '&new' object asignemt with 'new' (without the ampersand).
