Installer broken

[brhahlen]

Please also see issue 525 The installer is only showing a blank page. Probably a reference error somewhere. You can see it for youself here: http://v2.benweb.eu/install.php

Your headers refer to a 500 Internal Server Error. You may need to check .htaccess and file permissions and ownership.

Got the culprit: e107_config.php was missing, touching the e107_config.php solved the issue.

[brhahlen]

This issue still persists on the latest git version. When you try to run the installer with no e107_config.php present, only a blank page is shown. Touching the file resolves it. Maybe a message stating that e107_config.php is missing would be in order.

[CaMer0n]

Can this be closed?

Install fresh : 1 install with bootstrap 1 install with bootstrap3 both on an empty dbase.Both having own fresh files ( dd may25 13.00 CEST > latest) Result positive outcome Install started right away, SELF config created ( + chmod after finish), access file renamed (auto) Close ?? maybe some more results from others to confirm too ?

3rd server install no go AGAIN adding config file (empty) installs run

[brhahlen]

I am not getting the message that e107_config.php is missing. Tested on both Chrome and FireFox. Did a fresh clone from git, after removing contents of whole directory.

So, does not seem to be solved.

Source is empty as well: http://v2.benweb.eu/install.php.

Yesterday I installed fresh github version (after Cameron's changes with preferencies) on localhost (windows, latest xampp) and on net (Apache, Mariadb, php 5.4) No problems. Both with bootstrap 3 frontend.

[brhahlen]

Did you do a fresh clone and NOT create the e107_config.php file? Did you get a message it should be created? Or did the installer create it? On my Linux, it cannot create the file, as the directory is owned by another user than is the apache user...

[Jimmi08]

On localhost for sure, fresh install. I will do fresh install on Apache this evening. Now I remember that I used already created db, so I use old e107_config.php file.

http://v2.benweb.eu/install.php /v2/ should you be owner of the folder

Linux, Localhost - Message not displayed!

[Jimmi08]

On left - web, on right original from github files. no problem Only first time this happend: (missing input fields) but I was able to login via loginmenu in sidebar. Strange. Never happend before.

[oxigeno2]

As write, the problem see in the chmod. Install no problem.

Question : could there be an influence if a)magic quotes are off or on b) cUrl IDN off or on and c) enable_dl on/off trying to grasp where the server (s) ( my believe) have part in it

[willem010]

we did have tons of problems on our previous site with the host, not allowing curl for securty reasons. we actually had to move to another host to solve it.

yeah. most servers don't give the user any control over all kinds of (default) settings. editing a php.ini or apache setting usually is not an option.

detecting these limitations in the code is essential.

[brhahlen]

So, yeah, it is running on my own server, so I can control pretty much anything I want. The folder that links to the test-site is owned by v2:v2 and apache is running under www-data:www-data. Naturally, the v2-folder is chmodded 755, as is the default. This also means that www-data cannot create the file, e107_config.php I would assume that e107 would throw an error stating that e107_config.php is not present and that you need to create it, as it cannot automatically be created by the installer. I would not expect it to just show a blank page.

[CaMer0n]

@brhahlen You get a white page on install.php - could you please check for errors, either in error_log in the root directory, or the apache/php error logs ?

[brhahlen]

The times do not really match, as the Access log is from what I just tried, but the error log shows more interesting stuff, IMO. These are my apache-logs, btw.

[CaMer0n]

Please give it a try - this should fix it.

[brhahlen]
