Troubles getting OntoWiki with XAMPP to run

Hello,

I have a great interest in OntoWiki and am trying to get it to run on windows 7 with XAMPP, including a mySQL database. I got as far as seeing the welcoming screen (with the same two hidden error messages that were reported here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/ontowiki-user/3VIvRVq5loo by another xampp user). The moment I "create a new knowledge base" I got stuck in the same loop that was reported in link above. When I turn on debug mode in the config.ini I get the following report:

Erfurt_Sparql_ParserException: Variable, iri or qname expected in FROM

I am not a programmer and understand only so much of the IT-slang around. I know I haven't been able to somehow apply the "Makefile". But I have the latest archive (OntoWiki v0.9.6-21) with all the zend stuff in ow/libraries.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really love to give OntoWiki a try. I am pretty deep into the application side of semantics, but usable tools are scarce. Ontowiki looks great.

Cheers,

Jan
