I did not manage to install Ezpublish 3.10 with a the full template. The browser is going blank in the final step.

But I did mange to intall it with a plain site.

During installation i got this error message:
"allow_url_fopen ini setting is disabled" My webhotell providor does not allow to enable this due to security reasons.
My providor also say it is strange that a program like this is based on a allow_url_fopen since this could be done ie Curl..

(all this does not really tell me a lot).

But i would like to install a package in to my so far plain site. Is this possible to do manually, and how is this done?

Is there a way around the "allow_url_fopen ini setting is disabled" issue?

Hello Jan Frode,

eZ Publish <i>use url_fopen</i> to fetch site packages from a central repository over the http protocol. As a workaround you can download the site packages you want manually from http://packages.ez.no/ezpublish/3.10/3.10.0/ and upload them to your eZ Publish site.

I assumed that eZ Publish use <i>fopen</i> instead of Curl because fopen is a core PHP function that most webhosting companies support, while Curl have a much lower penetration rate in the hosting market.

Good luck,

Thank you for your quick reply.

I have now downloaded the files in:
http://packages.ez.no/ezpublish/3.10/3.10.0/ to my local computer.

What is my next step? In what folder do i upload this to? In one folder, or seperatly folders?

When the files are in place, do I have to install them in admin panel?

I had a look at this page:
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_10/features/packages/importing_packages_to_the_system

And when I follow that routine I get this message:
Can't install object 'Woman (Communities)': Unable to fetch class with remoteID: 9cb558e25fd946246bbb32950c00228e.
Element with ID '99730850bd806030c4ae9ea92571bdd0' will not be installed.

Can I still upload from local disk, even if I have the allow_url_fopen disabled?

Any suggestions?

After I tried to install via admin panel. Please see video, I experienced the same problem as I did the first time. My browser is going blank.

In the video I am trying to install tha package banner. (tried it several times, therefor I have to overwrite)

It should be an option to upload from locale disk during installation, you could try that.
But remember that eZ Publish is a bit strict, so when you run on a plain vanilla web hotel you might run into more issues.
