View Full Version : Installation problem
Hello,
I have tried to install phpLD and I'm having some problems:
1. When I am done with the installation, there is a redirect problem that is not letting me access admin/login.php
2. When I go to "browse the directory" and hit "Submit link" I get sent to "cgi-php/submit.php" which is a 404 on my domain.
In the process of installation I get this message:
"Server API CGI mode is likely to have problems"
Could you tell me from your experience what I should do different? I am on a shared hosting plan. I made sure the permissions were set up correctly in the time of installation.
Thank you for your help,
Ziv

Who is your host?
What version are you running?

cgi-php/submit.php is the problem you will need to edit init.php and change some path info search for dreamhost here on the forum and you should come across some info.
I have installed version 2.0 (looking to upgrade once I can make sure I can get it running).
I am hosted on a Linux webhosting Builder plan from hostmysite.com. I have reviewed the init.php file but not sure what modifications to make there. When I ftp into my domain I see the "cgi-php" folder appears one level above my htdocs. I don't know if that's part of the problem. I assume this is how this shared hosting server is structured.
I do have a responsive live support with them though (I'm not that technical myself).
Thanks for your help.
you did unzip everything into the correct folder right? (e.g. into yoru htdocs)
Yes, I created a directory under htdocs where I uploaded all the files.
Well, now all that needs to be done are the modifications posted above.
Thank you for the code adjustment!
I was able to install the application correctly this time. One question: I am installing in a directory and the "Submit Link" option still sends me to "submit.asp" on the root.
I am currently using the ($_ENV["PATH_INFO"] variation. Is there an easy way to fix?

Thanks for sharing this information. It resolved *most* of my problems.
However, within the admin panel, when I am looking at anything that is paginated (my list of categories, for example), when I try to go to the second page, the link tries to send me to:
{old demo url removed}
How can I fix that? I'm sure I just need to put in the same info, I just cannot seem to figure out which file it goes in.
Thanks!

Anyone know how I can get the "cgi-system" out of my URLs? I cannot browse my cats and links because the pagination links are wrong.
Thanks for any help!

A search for cgi-system turned up this:

try and set your doc root to just "/" or ""

David -- I saw that thread, and it mentions that there are changes posted in the supporters forum for the 3.0 version, and I am running 2.1.1. If I can get this up and running properly, I plan to upgrade anyway, so if I knew it'd resolve my issue, I'd gladly pay the $10 to join the supporters forum.
Dawzz, what is my doc root, and how do I change it?
Thank you.
