[Help] Fatal error without bug report during installation.

Friday 30 September 2005 3:34:09 am

Hi there. I just installed the current version correctly and wanted to install it.

First of all it told me:
<i>"Welcome to the eZ publish content management system and development framework. This wizard will help you set up eZ publish.
Your system is not optimal, if you wish you can click the Finetune button. This will present hints on how to fix these issues.
Click Next to continue without finetuning."</i>

It doesn't matter which option i select i get this message: <i>"Fatal error: eZ publish did not finish its request

The execution of eZ publish was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below."</i>

So I don't know what i should do now. I have not found anything to fix the problem.

PS: Running Apache Server 1.3.26 (UNIX) & PHP 4.3.1

This error usuall occurs when PHP comes to a critical errror that doesn't reproduce an error message.

It haappened to me something similar. I had a working installation of eZ and I noticed the bug when tried to execute som eZ PHP scripts from the shell. After days of debugging, I found out that the CGI version of PHP (the one used in shell execution of scripts) didn't have mysql extension loaded. So when PHP came to the eZ code that tried to execut mysql_connect() function, PHP crushed without any error or warning.

Possible soluutions:

1) You could check out your configuration of PHP, or try to execute your own script that executes only mysql_connect() or any other PHP function that you suspect is missing.

2) You could also try debbuging eZ code as I did... by putting to comments some parts of the eZ PHP code, or putting exit() command in some places of PHP code. So you can see exactly where the script crashes. But I suggest to try the first sollution first.

Hope this helps you.
