Gibbon is a web app, just need to run it on a public web server. Hosting and maintaining a vm image would be a lot of additional work. Running a webserver on your windows machine will not hinder your work, it’s only a small service running in the background and will only take you 5 mins to be up and running.

While you could create a vm, it seems a bit overkill, would you setup wordpress on a vm?

Did you run these commands

```auto
sudo nano /etc/php/8.*/apache2/php.ini

```

Make sure you replace the \* with the correct number based on the version you have.  
Then in the nano editor you can change the value of this variables:  
(you can search for them using ‘ctrl’ + ‘w’ - type ‘variable\_name’ and press enter, than change the value

memory\_limit = 256M  
upload\_max\_filesize = 256M  
max\_execution\_time = 360  
max\_input\_vars = 5000 (make sure you delete ‘’;‘’ at the beginning of the text in the editor )  
date.timezone = Europe/Rome

When you are done you can save by using ‘ctrl’ + ‘o’  
Then press ‘Ctrl’ + ‘x’ to exit nano.

```auto
sudo service apache2 reload

sudo service apache2 restart

```

I have just setup a virtualbox vm - installed apache using the link I posted, went through the install [How to install gibbon for noobs (like me) on debian 12 or Ubuntu and similar](https://ask.gibbonedu.org/t/how-to-install-gibbon-for-noobs-like-me-on-debian-12-or-ubuntu-and-similar/8365) and its running fine, I would suggest not using XAMP and just setting up a webserver, and make sure you follow all the steps in [dardiv] instructions.
