MX on Windows Setup guide?
BrianLehan:
So I've had MX running a while now local on my weather pc and wanted to start testing some features on my server. I really like the software but I have to bash the documentation and support. I upgraded to the most recent build, also not an intuitive process with no easy directions to follow so not sure that was event done right.
The official forum and wiki are dreadful IMHO - very difficult to search or find a simple PDF of setting up the additional web files feature which I assume from Googling issues is how I would get the system to create files over my LAN to the server without using FTP.
Does a simple PDF setup / configure guide exist for this software? Any assistance in finding current valid documentation would be helpful. I joined the official forum and never received a response is that common?
Thanks in advance.

The information is all there although I would agree it takes a bit of finding
It's the difference between an enthusiast product and a commercial one I'm afraid.
It's a pretty polished product essentially for free, commercial alternatives cost proper money
Responses in the forum are usually pretty fast and helpful, I am sure they will respond shortly

Thanks - Yeah I was hoping there was a user written pdf guide that consolidated, streamlined all the necessary setup for windows only without the endless click click dead-ends. It is a great software, maybe someone will pull the data out and create a usable publishable PDF user guide. There are many software packages in the same situation that have full documentation.
Note: Some clarification "Responses in the forum are usually pretty fast and helpful, I am sure they will respond shortly" However I never received an admin email allowing me to post in the forum, signed up three times, over several weeks, used three different emails and checked all the possible spam buckets, the lights are on but nobody is home.

Not sure about the click click dead-ends comment, but there is allways improvements that can be made, and are... (YTBR)

Volunteers would be welcome! A hurdle is the ongoing program changes/improvements that would need to be kept up with.
Enjoy,
Paul
