@nudone - make things easy for yourself. Just download a copy of AMPPS (http://www.ampps.com/amppswithsoftaculous) to use as your development environment. You can install Silverstripe (and about 270 other web apps) from inside AMPPS. AMPPS has them all scripted. It's click, answer a few questions, and go for most of the webapps in its catalog.I've been meaning to try this on my new webhost. Just one question: it seems to be a one-off service. As in, I use AMPPS to install silverstripe, and then I never use it again? Do you use AMPPS again after setting up the initial website?
It's all free too.
Check out the two demo videos here (http://www.ampps.com/demo).

I see, thanks. Then I don't think it's the tool for me. Inmotion is really great with this kind of thing either with a call or event heir online help is awesome. But it's something to consider for real independent type of work.@nudone - make things easy for yourself.

Yes. It's your WAMP stack. You can also uninstall webapps using it. If you already have a webhost set up I'm not sure this is what you're looking for. I also don't know if you can use it with a hosting site. AFAICT it's designed to be your own Windows webserver.
To just install the scripts you'd use the Softaculous Auto Installer (http://www.softaculous.com/softaculous/) part which is either free or $12/$24 annually. But it's designed to replace something like Fantastico or cPanel. So I think you'd either need your host to install it, or you'd need to have a dedicated or virtual server that you have full administrative access to. (Note: you also need to have cPanel already installed on your server before you can install Softaculous if I understand it correctly.)
Might want to contact them directly ([email protected]) if you want it to go on a server you can't sit down next to. I only use it to evaluate and experiment with - although you could do a test site and then migrate the directories over to a live site once you were happy with it. Some people are using it that way.

So, to avoid panic attacks and depression, I don't want to touch Joomla ever again.-nudone (July 21, 2012, 09:27 AM)
phpNuke sounds interesting. I'd give it a go but you've, cleverly, managed to put me off already.-nudone (July 21, 2012, 09:59 AM)
