2.0.15 install problem

[michael_s]

that just means your folders do not have the proper permissions to allow them to be created (the configure.php files). Just rename the configure.php.new files to configure.php and chmod 777 and re-run the installer.

You will be good to go.

2.0.4 came with blank configure.php files. 2.0.15 only comes with configure.php.new files to prevent the uninformed from overwriting their configure.php files on an upgrade.

If your server is running mod_php instead of suphp or php_cgi, php will be run as the webserver user (apache or nobody which will not have permissions to create the files on your account) you will have to have the includes folders set to world writable or rename them removing the .new from the file, and chmod them 777 to allow the new files to be created/written to by the webserver. If running suphp or php_cgi, apache/php runs as the user executing the script, so it just works without doing anything but running the installer.

hi

does php_cgi cause problems for google checkout?

thanks

Not if your server permissions are wrong. That has nothing to do with osCMax. Wrong permissions will cause any script installer to fail. This is basic stuff here.

hi

i checked and have suphp running, and public_html set to chmod 777 before install, still configure.php.new is not changed by the install process, nor are there any configure.php files.

when i rename the configure.php.new files to configure.php and chmod 777, and run the install, at the end of the process, the catalog link works, and the admin link work, but when i sign in to admin, there is a completely blank page there.

thanks

Re-read the wiki. I'll bet you didn't rename the admin config.php.new

hi

yes i did.
i renamed admin/includes/configure.php.new -> configure.php
the problem could be .htaccess though, i don't see it listed in the directory.

thanks

hi

i am working with a mac so .htaccess doesn't show up on my desktop.
where can i grab a copy of the .htaccess file to wget directly into my catalog directory?

thanks

About time you upgraded to Linux.

Try renaming the .htaccess.new to htaccess.new, within the zip file, then extract/upload and rename when there.
(Basic stuff, nothing to do with 'Max per se.)

I do think it's more likely that you have a webserver misconfiguration.
Once the install is completed, check both configure.php files to see 'if they look sensible'.
