I am having trouble installing mahara on my laptop (Windows Vista Home).  I have followed the installation instructions but when I go to phpmyAdmin and click on mahara in 'Your projects' I get the following error message:

• log_message("Not installed! Please create config.php from confi...", 1, true, true) at C:\wamp\www\mahara\lib\errors.php:123
• log_environ("Not installed! Please create config.php from confi...") at C:\wamp\www\mahara\init.php:53
• require("C:\wamp\www\mahara\init.php") at C:\wamp\www\mahara\index.php:32

Could anyone advise as to what to do?

Thanks

Copy  the config-dist.php file. rename the file to config.php.

set the config.php

$cfg->dbtype   = 'mysql5';
$cfg->dbhost   = 'localhost';
$cfg->dbport   = null;
$cfg->dbname   = 'mahara';
$cfg->dbuser   = 'root';
$cfg->dbpass   = '';

$cfg->httpswwwroot = 'https://localhost/mahara/htdocs';

$cfg->dataroot = 'c:\\xampp\\htdocs\\data';

hope your problem might be solved.
