Getting Started with the QuickFrame StandAlone Server for Mac

tompossin December 4th, 2007

Because of the difficulty and expense of reliable Internet connections in some places I have added a stand alone version of QuickFrame for the MAC. The QuickFrame StandAlone server will allow you to use QuickFrame on your Mac computer without an Internet connection. Now whether you use a mac or a PC you can use QuickFrame with or without the Internet.

You can be using it in 6 easy steps:

  1. Download the file named MAMP.zip here [Click to Download]
  2. Extract the compressed MAMP.zip file to your desktop.
  3. Move the folder named MAMP to the Applications folder on your computer.
  4. Open the folder in the Applications folder and click on the icon called MAMP. When the control panel opens up click the start button  this will start the QuickFrame servers processes. You are now ready to start using your new private Quickframe server.
  5. Your browser should open to the home page of your new stand alone QuickFrame server. If not open your web browser and type in http://localhost:8888/quickframe
  6. Log in as admin with a password of 4quickframe.

Once you have your server running you can also manage it from the handy web interface. To get to this interface go to http://localhost:8888 there are links on the left for various management functions and tools.

To Shut Down your server:

  1. Open the Control Panel again and click the Stop button.
  2. When the lights turn red your server is totally shut down and you can close the Control Panel.
  3. There is also a widget that will join your other widgets when you hit f12. To install it you simply drag the widget icon to the /Library/Widgets folder on your computer. This will place a widget on your desktop to conveniently start and stop your QuickFrame server.

Enjoy!
