Yep, it just comes as an exe which you can install on workstations you need it on.

Hi PhilNeal. With regards to the "remove report sections that contain no results" not longer working in Individual Reports in Assessment manager, I don't think this patch has been issued yet. Is this likely to be released soon? Could you give more details? Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. I've changed the config file as suggested and now when I load the website I get a blank page. If you've run out of ideas as to why it's not working then don't worry as I can always create our booking system using Google calendars instead. Thanks for your help.

Thanks Craig. I've managed to get PHP working through IIS following your advice and this website: How to Install PHP on IIS 7 for Windows Server 2008. I had already installed SQL using the method you suggested and created a new database following the instructions on your website. However, I'm getting a "404 Page Not Found" error message when loading http:..../classroombookings/index.php in a web browser. If I edit the index.php and change the application_folder location I get a message "The configuration file config.php does not exist.". This would suggest that the index.php file is working as it can't locate the config file. Do you know what might be causing the "404 Page Not Found" error message? I've checked and I think I've followed your instructions for editing the config.php file correctly as well as the database.php.

I've been given the task of setting up a classroom booking system and came across classroombookings by @webman. I’ve downloaded version 1.01 today but I’m unsure as to how I go about setting this up. The instructions on the website say “Ensure that the web server, PHP and relevant modules, and MySQL are installed, enabled and configured.” I’ve got no experience with any of these and was hoping someone could help. I want to install it on a server that has Windows Server 2008 R2. Can I use IIS to set this up and if so, what do I need to do? How do I set up PHP and what are the relevant modules? I’ve downloaded MySQL using this link: MySQL :: Download MySQL Installer I then chose to set it up as a server. Is this correct?

Thanks Angrytechnician & Quackers. I was informed about the concurrent connection limit on another website but didn’t believe it because we have a room with 25 pc’s which all connect to a shared printer without problems! The dos command has been a great help in testing if the concurrent connection limit is causing the problem. I set up every station with a printer using the command then began logging onto each machine as a different test user. I found that none of the computers after the 8th station were showing the printer as “Ready”, instead showing something along the lines of “no connection”. If I logged off from one of the stations that could connect to the printer, then logged into one of the ones that previously couldn’t make a connection, they were able to connect. So, it does seem that the concurrent connection limit is the cause of the problem but instead the limit in my case is 8. I still find it strange that the whole room could connect with the previous printer and that we have other rooms which have 20+ stations connecting, but this does seem to be the cause. I guess I will have to look into buying a USB print server for the room. Thanks for your help.

We have a CC3 network in our school and are experiencing some problems with a shared printer in a room of 15 computers. The printer is an Epson Stylus 1400 and is attached to a station via a USB cable. The printer has been shared and then allocated to the other stations in the room using the RM Management Console. The problem we have is that it seems to be a complete lottery as to whether or not users pick up the printer. For instance, a user logs and does not get the printer, I log onto the same machine as a test user and get the printer, I log on as another test user and do not get the printer! We have other rooms in the school where we have shared printers exactly the same way and have had no problems. The same issue was occurring last November but we eventually got it working by finding a different driver. Since then the printer has developed a fault and was returned a few weeks back. We are now experiencing the same problem with the replacement printer (exactly the same model/make) even though we have continued using the same driver. (I have also tried the other driver) We have tried sharing the printer on a different station all together and using a different network port in the room. We have added another shared printer (different make/model) to the station to test if users can see one but not the other. We have then allocated this printer and a printer from a neighbouring room to the stations. I find that some users get all three printers, some get none, some get the neighbouring printer, some just get the test printer……..a real mixture! It doesn’t seem to be user specific either. For instance, a user might log onto one pc and not get any printers but log onto another and get printers. Then again, it doesn’t seem to be station specific, as a user can log out, someone else log in and get the printers. One thing to note is that I don’t recall ever logging on as an administrator and not getting the printer. I thought I could set up the printer manually on every station in the room, to get around RM Management Console allocating the printing every time a user logs on. The problem is, it seems only the person who installed the printer gets the printer when logged on i.e. Installed as systemadmin, log in as systemadmin2 and no printers installed! I have asked RM if it is possible to set up the printer for each station so that whoever logs on gets the printer. They have said I need to set up the users as “privileged” users which basically means they can do whatever they like on the computer when logged in. This is not an option! I was hoping someone out there might have some ideas about how I could do this or have any suggestions as to what I could try next?
