That would appear to indicate that your installation is not interpreting some settings the expected way. Save the following code to test.php. Then ftp test.php to your INSTALLATION folder and run it with this url: [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] (or whatever your path to INSTALLATION is). The put the results in your next reply.

Code:

<?


echo '$upload_dir = '.dirname($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]);


echo '<br /><br />';


echo 'PT = '.dirname($_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]);


echo '<br /><br />';


echo 'PHP_SELF = '.dirname($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"]);


?>

As I suspected, your web server setup is not allowing certain environment variables that the script expects. Are you using Apache or IIS?

IIS i guess... Confused

The easiest way would be to switch to Apache for windows as this won't be the end of your problems ROTFL

You could also try changing this line in INSTALLATION/installSQL.php from
$upload_dir=dirname($_SERVER["SCRIPT_FILENAME"]);
to
$upload_dir=dirname($_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"]);

as a temporary fix.

i have done that temporary fix but stills there's an error when uploading the ravennuke.sql.tar.gz

I don't think you are using the latest package. Please d/l the v1.04.00 package and replace all of your files. It should all fall into place then.

Posted: Mon Nov 28, 2005 10:56 pm

i guess im using the latest version... i downloaded that file here [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]

Something's not right. Did you download the FULL or just the PATCH? If you just d/l the PATCH then what you're describing would happen. I just verified the FULL version and it is definitely not what you have. the patches assume that you already have a working version and so you would not need to d/l the INSTALLATION files again. Bottom line, download the FULL again and replace all of your files.

I have download the full version and replace all the files but still i get this error

You will always get that error on windows. remember? In the readme? Now you must unpack it.

Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2005 7:19 am

umm... ok.. anyway when i unpack it the db size is really huge and my server allows the maximum upload limit to 2mb... is there any posibilites that i can upload that ravennuke.sql.tar.gz? Sad

Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2005 8:55 am

Then you will need to brek it into smaller files and upload them. Name them something like part1.sql, part2.sql, etc.

Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2005 9:33 am

i have did that.. but the file size of ip2country tables is too large i guess 5mb+...
is there any posibilities that i can break the ip2country tables so that i can upload it? Very Happy

Posted: Wed Nov 30, 2005 9:43 am

That's what I said to do Smile

. Break all the sql file into files up to 2meg in size. Name them as I said in the above post. Also, see my next to last post here: [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ]
