Lost in setup

Monday 07 April 2003 4:42:58 pm

It seems simple enough.. I go through all the setup screens with no problems. Then in the last screen I press the "done" button and it sends me back the the begining Setup screen. I have gone through this a dozen times and it keeps sending me back to the begining. Anyone know why?

I have changed the site access to "true" and done it over and over and over. I repeat there are no problems in any of the setup windows, no problem with the database. No problems at all. It is just that the done button leads me to start all over again.

I don't have a clue on how to setup debug..

I erased the ezpublish folder and downloaded another copy to my PC, I unziped it and uploaded it to the server and ran setup again.. but not I can't get past the database part
The database could not be properly initialized.
You have an error in your SQL syntax near '; CREATE TABLE ezbasket ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, session_id' at line 1
MySQL Error #1064

I'm going to go back to my original ziped file and upload it again.. But I gotta say I have never understood why a simple set of instructions on installing software could not be written.. Some of us are not programmers and we don't want to be programmers. I'm just trying to set up a CMS for a bunch of free clinics that have no money and I end up beating my head against the wall over and over and over. Is it really so hard to put out something that anyone can install or offer to install it for small sites for say 100.00 dollars and just let us get the site up and running. I don't want to change the code or create apps..

Oh well enough ranting..

Hi Craig,

I think if you do what is described here:
http://ezwiki.blanko.info/index.php/3XHT_SeeTmpls
you can enable debug. Remember to make a backup of the ini file to restore defaults.

I don't want to disappoint you on ez publish, but currently, this is the first basically stable release of version 3, i.e. you will still have issues and lack some of the documentation. Then again, this is free software. Even though I can understand your frustrations, think a second before you complain. :-) The issue is, if it is not there and it is needed urgently, somebody of the users (reads: us) will have to do it.

Regards,
Karsten

Ok here is the 2nd copy from Debug. This is from the last setup page where the "done" button is and near the top of the page is where it says "Congratulations, eZ publish should now run on your system." This is where I press done and it sends me back to the start of setup.

Look at your warnings.
Check the permissions on this file and its directory.
Read and execute permissions are probably necessary.
Also check for PHP error messages -- PHP can be configured (/etc/php.ini) to report errors in several ways, one of which places them in /var/log/messages.
