2.0.15 install problem

[spuhg]

hi

i have changed ALL the file names as per the wiki, and have chmod 777 the files before the install. still there is a blank page coming after i try to log into admin. the configure.php files do look ok.

can i have server configurations that you are running 2.0.15 on.

for your info, 2.0.15 doesn't work like 2.0.4 at all, 2.0.15 has way too many install steps, and problems.

thanks

On my reseller website, running

Linux 2.6
Apache 2.2
PHP 5.2
cPanel Pro RC1
su_php

I can do a basic install of 'Max 2.0.15 in about 3 minutes, from the moment the files are unpacked (using bz2) into the directory structure.

There really is no fundamental difference in the installation between osC 2.2a, 'Max 2.0.4 and 'Max 2.0.15. 2.0.15 should have better compatibility for PHP 5.3 (and exclusion of PHP 4) but that's about it.

hi

maybe the problems i am having are related to the fact that i upgraded to php 5.3 when i added suphp to the configuration, i am going back to php 5.2

thanks

Runs fine on php5.3 + suphp.

Also, if you are running suphp, you cannot chmod 777. You need to educate yourself a little bit on the software you are running and its requirements.

The max allowed permissions on suphp systems is 755. So go back to the beginning and try again. Also note that on a properly configured suphp system, you will not need to change any permissions since the webserver/php runs as your account user, it will always have permissions to write to its own files unless they are chmod 400 or below.

One other note, make sure that the files are owned by the account/user that you are trying to install on, otherwise, you will have problems.

hi


i have just reinstalled oscmax 2.04 with absolutely no problems.

2.0.15 just is not as easy to install, and probably wont install.

i have followed all the instructions, renaming the configure.php.new files and chmod them to 755.

i am running a simple configuration: php 5.3, suphp, dso apache handler.

still 2.0.15 doesn't install.

either the pages are blank, or after the install when clicking the catalog link the error is: cant connect to database server!.

thanks

The installer is exactly the same as 2.0.4. The same 5 simple steps. See the screenshots below.

hi

will oscmax 2.1 require renaming configure.php files?

thanks

[michael_s]

Yes but just like 2.0.15, only on servers that run mod_php.

• Just what is so difficult about renaming a couple of files? (To others who may be following this, not everyone requires to do this - it depends on your setup).
• What part of the install looks different - it's the same installer, as Michael has shown.

hi

please let me know what set up doesn't require renaming any files at all, and i will build that configuration.

so far i have built the configuration you have given me, and 2.0.15 doesn't install properly.

right now, i am running simply:

cPanel 11.25.0-R43286 - WHM 11.25.0 - X 3.9

CENTOS 5.4 x86_64

apache 2.2, php 5.3.1, suphp, and dso apache handler,

that's it.

2.04 installs fine on this setup 2.0.15 doesn't.

thanks
