Manual Install

[Anonymous]

I have tried to install 2.0 but nothing happens. I don't get an error or anything. It simply redirects me to /install/index.php then nothing happens.

I am assuming I don't need to open a config file or anything to edit my db info since the installation instructions say you follow the instructions from the installation page to edit your db info.

So could someone write a quick tutorial on manually installing the script for MySql?

Letting you know I see your post....back in a sec.

[David]

First, you can run this code in phpmyadmin:
(notice the login for admin in the below example is admin / 123456

And then create a file called config.php in the main directory with this info (edit values for db):
Content visible to registered users only.

[Anonymous]

Thanks for the quick reply. Ill give it a try and tell you how it works.

[David]

Sure, I am happy to help you until it is working.
Feel free to PM me your server info, and i will happy to take a look.
Thanks,
David

I created the db and uploaded the config.php file. It still redirects me to /install/index.php. Do I need to delete the install folder or anything?

[David]

can you either tell PM me your url or post it here?
Can you access the admin area?

[Anonymous]

If I try to access my admin area I get this error
Content visible to registered users only.

I have looked through the files and there doesn't seem to be a adodb-db_driver.inc.php

[David]

Checking for that file....thanks
One moment...

[David]

I do not find that file either, but i do see 2 successful installations that don't have it as well. I can get a better answer for you tomorrow, but this may be all we can do tonight, unless you wanted to PM me your server details in which case I can take a look.

There may be a line that we can comment out (that calls that file).
I'll check into that, and if you are patient, we will find the answer. :)

[David]

Hmmmm...I can't even find a reference to adodb-db_driver.inc.php anywhere in the source code, so I am a little stumped.

We will likely get cdb to look at this tomorrow and he may have an answer for you.

Just found your app ... and have been playing with 1.012 but would much rather hold out for version 2.

I am getting the same problem, the install just routes to a blank page.
I have pretty well an Identical story to Duilen when attempting a manual install.

Running PHP Version 4.3.11 on Apache 1.3.31

I realise this is still in development and was only released in the last few days so I appreciate the effort you are putting in.
I honestly don't have the time to do much troubleshooting myself at the moment or I would pitch in and help find the bugs with you.

So instead I have set up a Subdomain, FTP account and mySQL server for your use and uploaded the phpdir2 install files to it.

Don't know if this is any use to you but it may assist in testing across different servers.
I will PM your the details when I ahve finished copying the files

Sure, if I can solve one, I'll do the other one too.
And if I can't solve it, I know someone who can, but we will have to wait til tomorrow if that is the case.
Thanks for your support and patience.

The installer problem is fixed. rc2 is updated please download it again.
More details here: {url no longer in service}

Oh... and yes, there is no adodb-db_driver.inc.php file. you got that error because you tried to access the admin without a proper database configuration.

I am having the same problem that the install just routes to a blank page.
I am trying to install RC3

When I've turned on php errors log it shows:

Warning: Unterminated comment starting line 2235 in /mypath/html/libs/adodb/adodb.inc.php on line 2235

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /mypath/html/libs/adodb/adodb.inc.php on line 2235

Most certainly the files have not been uploaded correctly. You have incompletely uploaded files.

Please try to upload everything again. If you have shell access on the server I would recommend to upload the archive on the server and uncompress there. I'ts a lot faster too.

[Anonymous]

I have the same issue, install goes fine and when I reach the page to choose the admin or the home page, they both lead to a blank page.

I uploaded the archive to the server and uncompressed it on the server then ran the installation. I checked the MySQL DB and it appears to be populated with tables and records.

Here's my url to the install: http://www.anglersonly.com/links/

I've tried dumping the MySQL DB and rerunning the install and tried renaming the .htaccess file. No success. This is on a dedicated Fedora Core 2, Apache 2.0, php 4.3.10 installation.

turned on register_globals, no success
changed the session.save_path = /tmp , no success (used to be /var/lib/php/session)

Yes, you were right, some bigger files as adodb.inc.php were not loaded correctly.
It looks as filezilla has some problems with them.
I have tried kbear and now everything works fine!
Thanks
:D

Hello. I had the same problem and i tried the manual install quoted here. I executed the sql statements and they went ok. But then i added these lines:

define('DB_DRIVER', 'mysql');
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');
define('DB_NAME', 'db_name');
define('DB_USER', 'user_name');
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password');

to the file include/config.php. Creating a new file as stated above didn't help, but changing include/config.php helped for me :roll:

[David]

So are you saying you have it running now?

[kollikissa]

Yes, i have it running now.

It doesn't however work perfectly. Now i get an error when trying to access System->Edit Settings->Notifications.

Content visible to registered users only.

An when clicking to Directory->Links in the admin panel, I get the following error message :

Content visible to registered users only.

[David]

I believe you need this one:
{url no longer in service}

[kollikissa]

That solution didn't solve my problem.

However, i now know what's wrong in my directory. :D

SQL-statements given in this thread are for RC3 and they do not have all the fields that are in RC4.

At least these fields are missing in inserts:
Content visible to registered users only.
Also, there is one whole table called PLD_PAYMENT missing in sql-statements.

Can you create new sqls for manual install of RC4? I would really appreciate that :wink:

Haha that sucks. Here you go.

[kollikissa]

Thanks for doing script so fast :)

I had to slightly change the create tables, because it seems that table names need to be upper case. I first created tables with the your script, but i got an error.

Here are the final create tables that fixed my install:

Content visible to registered users only.

The Inserts provided earlier this thread worked ok, except this one:

Content visible to registered users only.

I needed to add two more values to it:

Content visible to registered users only.

Now everything seems to be working fine :lol:

Thanks,
Kollikissa

[Ap0s7le]

In all my installs the tables are lowercase.

I'm just glad you're up and running.

Consider adding your link to my directory.

later

[dcb]

All table names should be upper case (there are some issues on MS SQL with the objects names). But on MySQL on Windows the table names are always changed to lower case. On Postgres too, but there is no problem since Postgres is case insensitive.

[kollikissa]

Still there was something missing, featured links didn't work.

It seems that some configuration inserts were missing. Using Directory -> Settings these values are propably only updated and if they are missing they are not inserted.

Here are the missing ones i found from directory rc4 source code:

Now featured links work also :D

Good night,

Unless I will encounter some problems in future, my install got just fine with SQL statements for RC3 - however I always did the update thing immediately. It updates your database from RC3 to RC4 automatically.
