traviswellman,

Thanks for your feedback. All are very good points. I understand where you are coming from with respect to login. On OSX and unix systems you are right, users will have seperate Dekoh installs. On windows however, it installs in C:\Dekoh and it is a shared installation for all windows users. So login was provided to seperate out address book, comments, shares...BTW, if you check the "Remember me", you shouldnt see the login screen on the local desktop.

Please keep sending us the feedback, we will fix problems you mention in the photos app soon.

Thanks,
Vijay
After you login on dekoh.com click on "my desktop" on the top bar. This should start installation of Dekoh Desktop if you dont have it already.
I do not know phpmyadmin in particular. See if this helps.

Dekoh installs PHP in C:\Dekoh\server\nodes\default\archives\public_html\PHP\WEB-INF\cgi.
The DLLs are loaded from here.

You can drop new PHP files in C:\Dekoh\server\nodes\default\archives\public_html\PHP directory.

You should be able to access new PHP file http://localhost:81/PHP/new.php
Version 1.0 will have a proper UI for uninstall. For now follow these steps:

1. Double click 'Dekoh Desktop' icon on the desktop and login

2. Click on Shutdown (top right corner)

3. If you are running on Windows double click on c:\dekoh\server\bin\remove-service.bat

4. Delete Dekoh install directory (on windows it is c:\dekoh)

5. Delete Desktop icon 'Dekoh Desktop'

All traces of Dekoh is removed from your machine. We welcome you to come back and use Dekoh again .

Thanks for trying Dekoh.

Why only on Windows?? PHP and MySQL work fine on linux... where they are designed to run... 

PHP and Mysql downloads are platform specific. The current packaging to install Wordpress, PHP and Mysql together as a single click bundle is available only for windows.
Managing other than primary calendar is in the roadmap.

I guess I don't get it.

This will set up a wordpress blog but only on your PC ?

what is point of that or does it somehow publish it too -

I was hoping it was an interface to blog that i could use while offline - like when travelling

 

Well, currently we have packaged Wordpress as is. So there is no sync to your online account. Cut-paste for now it is possible to extend Wordpress to do sync with online blogs. Maybe a project Dekoh or anyone can volunteer can take up.
Due to a last minute technical snag, Dekoh Music was held back from initial public alpha. It should be available soon. When it becomes available you will see it on Desktop portal in "Available applications" list.
Wordpress install on Dekoh downloads wordpress and mysql. But during installation if it finds Mysql running already (port) Dekoh does not install another copy of Mysql but just connects to the current installation.

So if you had Mysqld running on your machine. Run 'mysql -u <admin user>' and create a database wordpress. Once you do this go back to Dekoh Desktop portal and click on wordpress and use the mysql user name password.

If you did not have mysql previously, then mysql is installed by Dekoh. the user name for mysql is 'root' and no password. You can simply click on next button and PHP should be able to connect to Mysql.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
Once wordpress install is complete, remember the wordpress admin password generated, we recomend you change the password immediately after first login to something you can remember. Wordpress does not give a way to recover admin password, if you forget the wordpress generated admin password you will have to search in the database.
