I just created a new site for someone and tried to install the newest release. (I just got done FTPing the files from 1.0.5 when I saw this release) When I run the install, it gets to install2.php and the icon in hte lower left hand corner gives me the error flag. There is NO error window popping up or any other indicators. The status bar simply shows DONE, but the page is blank.



I know the workaround, but when I upload 1.0.7 onto the current 1.0.5 after installing, what kind of stuff am I going to run into? If someone doesn't have 1.0.5 (don't know about 1.0.6) I guess they are just stuck.

I think we need some quality control...I volunteer to do some of this, but can't do it on my own.

I usually don't use the automatic installation of mambo. I use phpMYadmin to install the Mambo Mysql database on the server. So I really do not know of the problems that you guys are having since i never used automatic install.

thanks for the reply. I tried the manual install first and ran into some problems and thought i'd give the auto method a try. I did the phpmyadmin route, imported the sql database, chmod'd everything suggested, and i'm getting this now when i try to get to the administrator site:

Warning: database(configuration.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysite/public_html/content/classes/database.php on line 75

Warning: database(): Failed opening 'configuration.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mysite/public_html/content/classes/database.php on line 75

Warning: database(offline.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/mysite/public_html/content/classes/database.php on line 76

Warning: database(): Failed opening 'offline.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/mysite/public_html/content/classes/database.php on line 76


which seems to point to a problem in my absolute path right? nope. tried that, my absolute path is /home/mysite/public_html

here's how configuration.php looks, i keep the mambo site in the content directory: tried that both ways with and without content in the path.

$mosConfig_absolute_path = '/home/mysite/public_html/content';
$mosConfig_live_site = 'http://www.mysite.com';


include path looks ok from phpinfo:

include_path
.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php
.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php

I've tried register globals on, i've tried it off. i've restarted apache. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you renamed configuration to configuration.php? And I would also check the directory that you have in your config. Capitalization is also very important.

Thanks for the link to that script! hot dang, that's slick.

I created and populated the db, but somehow didn't have the right mysql user account info in my configuration.php (i think i setup the db as root mysql user, and didn't have the permissions for the other user on the database... at any rate its working. thanks gayle, thanks SvenErik and X-F4ctor.

now i don't have no admin account (hehe. missed that step)

SvenErik

Yes, it is. Gayle is a true master!

Take a look at the last six lines in /sql/mambo.sql, there are 2 accounts, one superadministrator and one editor. The lines are commented. The password set for the superadministrator is admin and the editor is editor. I would suggest you only add the superadministrator and log in to the administration with that one, change the password for that account ASAP!!! and then create other users as needed.
