Hello Chris,

I couldn't find any solutions to the problems I encountered. I had a rough start after installing. The script would run into an issue with creating the database. I looked through the scripts and discovered the update files and input them through the servers mysql.

I am trying to run the install script and after entering the details, the script seems to stall. I get a the news13 logo and backgrounds but nothing else after selecting test connection. Any idea what's cooking? I'm thinking I should start over on the installation.

Which version of PHP does your server have installed? does your server have error_reporting turned on? how far does it get in the installation before it dies?

Hello Chris,

My server offers a choice between 4 and 5. I have it set on Php 5.

It would prompt me for the database information, step 1, then I would click the test button. It did not work past that point.

I turned off globals and messed with the .ini file from stuff I found online. Now I'm getting a response but not a successful one:

Quote:

Warning: require_once(/hermes/bosweb/web012/b123/ipw.articleboard/public_html/news//language/.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /hermes/bosweb/web012/b123/ipw.articleboard/public_html/news/install/index.php on line 337

Looks like I'm getting an extra forward slash from news to language...

Notice at the end it just says ".php", instead of something like "English.php", are you sure the language files have been uploaded to the language directory?

If this isn't the problem I'd need access to the server to debug the problem.

Hi Chris,

I got this with your help. For some reason the files I downloaded had the file name "lang" rather than "language". I renamed the file folder in my ftp program and it's a grand slam! Everything is going smoothly now!!!

If you look at the code for config.php, around line 52 you'll see a block of code, Do you see this

Code:


if(!date_default_timezone_get()){
    date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
}

Or this

Code:


if(function_exists("date_default_timezone_get")){
    if(!date_default_timezone_get()){
        date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
    }
}

Looks like the second:

Quote:

if(function_exists("date_default_timezone_get")){
if(!date_default_timezone_get()){
date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
}
}

On a good note, it seems to have installed. However, the Categories are empty. I got the test post from you saying it was installed and was able to comment. I'm in the admin panel as well. Is something missing from the undefined loop?

Very impressive program!

Very strange, if it works, awesome. I wish I could debug this problem though as I thought I'd fixed it but apparently there is something else that needs to be fixed.
