2.0.15 install problem

[spuhg]

hi

on step 4 "finished"

there are two links one to the catalog, and the other to the admin section.

when either are clicked on, a new page opens, but it is completely blank.

thanks

Check your server error logs. Blank screen = php error.

hi

any idea exactly where that log is?
can't seem to find anything in here: /usr/local/apache/logs/error_log

also, what could error be?, i haven't altered anything, and am running:

PHP Version 5.2.11

PHP Settings
register_globals Off
magic_quotes Off
file_uploads On
session.auto_start Off
session.use_trans_sid Off

PHP Extensions
MySQL
GD
cURL
OpenSSL

thanks

I have no idea what the error could be, which is why I suggested checking your error logs. Check with your host if you are unsure as to where your logs are located.

Whenever doing a new installation, you may want to have php print the errors to the screen until you get the installation completed. This way any errors are output directly to the screen.

I cannot reproduce any errors doing a clean install of v2.0.15.

I had the same error but there was an address mistake to database in:

catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

hi

did you receive the error when doing a new install of 2.0.15?

thanks

I was actually replacing a broken install of the new version & didn't know I had to point both copies of configure.php at the database. Took 5 hours to figure out so I thought I would share, in case it helped.

I does produce a white screen if the addresses are wrong!

hi

that means the 2.0.15 install code is buggy:
here is my includes/configure.php.new file after the install completes:
(maybe it is because there is a .new after the name?, maybe this shouldn't be named this way in 2.0.15?)

No, it just means he didn't use the installer, and did not manually do it right.

The code is not buggy. There is no significant difference in the installer from the previous version, and no changes at all as to how it builds the configure.php files.

Running the installer will properly set up both configure.php files. Manually doing it requires a little more understanding of what is under the hood.

hi

i can install 2.04 no problem on my server, but 2.0.15 doesnt create the configure.php files, they are nowhere to be found, only configure.php.new exists.

thanks
