Inspired by the PHPCamp yesterday, I psent most of my Sunday to get Shindig and Partuza installed and running. The setup is fairly easy and well explained on the link below :
http://www.chabotc.com/generic/setting-up-shindig-and-partuza-on-windows/

the guide explains all the things u’ll need to set up these two things using VirtualHosts on WAMP.

for those who wish to place the shindig and partuza in webroot OR use aliases, there’s some extra file editing involved. I’m planning to run a quick install on a VPC and document the steps for general use.

the guide asks you to test the install using this link :

http://shindig/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml

for webroot installs or aliases, this looks something like-

http://<hostname>/shindig/php/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml

however, the url http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/todo/todo.xml did not work for me. It kept throwing an empty xml error, and I am still surprised about the cause. Other labpixies applications, however, worked fine on the installation.

http://<hostname>/shindig/php/gadgets/ifr?url=http://www.labpixies.com/campaigns/calendar/calendar.xml

this calendar application renderred without problem.

currently, partuza is running at http://www.jaguarnac.com/partuza , if interested, have a look !!!
