Install issues..

Regular Joined: May 17, 2005 Posts: 66

Okay, i'm sure I've missed something trying to install 2.5. Here are my issues:

1. At the INSTALLATION/installSQL.php step, I click the "Run Raveninstaller Server Environmental Check" and get the following errors:

Code:




Warning: main(functions/phpGetSetting.func.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/public_html/raven/INSTALLATION/serverEnvironmentCheck.php on line 23





Warning: main() [function.include]: Failed opening 'functions/phpGetSetting.func.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php') in /home/public_html/raven/INSTALLATION/serverEnvironmentCheck.php on line 23

and

Code:

- Allow Short Open Tags  


Fatal error: Call to undefined function: phpgetsetting() in /home/public_html/raven/INSTALLATION/serverEnvironmentCheck.php on line 174

also :

PHP version >= 5.2.0 No : Version 4.4.9

when looking at my cpanel, it states I have the following version:

Code:

Apache version 2.2.22 


PHP version 5.3.16 


MySQL version 5.1.62-cll 


Architecture i686

2. I went ahead and followed through with the install, with no furthur errors, but when I get to point to to view the site, it's just a white page. I'm sure it's something related to the above.

any ideas on where I've messed up?

It sounds like somethings did not get uploaded or got boogered up. I would reupload the entire package and try again. What ftp client did you use?

Many webhosting services are providing both PHP4 and PHP5 versions together, you can specify which one you want to use using a rule in your htaccess, this may be your case.

I reuploaded the files and was able to go through the installation without errors( except the php version I listed above) however I still have the white page issue.

how would I specify which PHP version to use in the .htaccess?

try one of these:

Code:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

or

Code:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

If that doesn't work, you may need to ask your host. GoDaddy has had this issue before, they have the answer in their FAQ.

If you are using GoDaddy then I think the rule

Code:

Options +Includes

is causing havoc if I remember correctly, you can safely comment it.

when I add:

Code:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php

I get a window asking to save files.

when I add:

Code:

AddType x-mapp-php5 .php

I get alot of code:

Code:

sql_query($sql); list($clickurl) = $db->sql_fetchrow($result, SQL_NUM); if ($result) $db->sql_freeresult($result); $result = $db->sql_query('UPDATE `' . $prefix . '_banner` SET `clicks`=clicks+1 WHERE `bid`=\'' . $bid . '\''); update_points(21); Header('Location: ' . $clickurl); die(); } define('MODULE_FILE', true); define('HOME_FILE', true); $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] = 'modules.php'; $result = $db->sql_query('SELECT `main_module` FROM `' . $prefix . '_main`'); if ($result) { $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result, SQL_ASSOC); if (isset($row['main_module'])) { $name = $row['main_module']; } else { $name = ''; } } else { $name = ''; } include_once 'includes/RWS_WhoIsWhere/wiw.inc.php'; if (!isset($file)) { $file = 'index'; } else { $file = trim($file); } if (stripos_clone($file, '..')) { include_once 'header.php'; include_once 'footer.php'; } else { if (file_exists('themes/' . $ThemeSel . '/modules/' . $name . '/' . $file . '.php')) { $modpath = 'themes/' . $ThemeSel . '/'; } else { $modpath = ''; } $modpath .= 'modules/' . $name . '/' . $file . '.php'; if (file_exists($modpath)) { // The module's $view describes the accessibility of the module: // 0 - All Visitors // 1 - Registered Users Only // 2 - Administrators Only // 3 - Paid Subscribers Only // 4 - NSN Groups Only // *Note: Admins can see all access levels. // *Note for the Users Group/Points system: If a module is set to Registered Users Only, but has a non-zero // mod_group value, then the module is only available to those users who have enough points to be in that // Users Group. $result = $db->sql_query('SELECT * FROM `' . $prefix . '_modules` WHERE `title`=\'' . $name . '\''); $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result, SQL_ASSOC); $mod_active = $row['active']; $view = $row['view']; $groups = $row['groups']; $mod_group = $row['mod_group']; if ($result) $db->sql_freeresult($result); $canView = ($view == 0) || ($view == 1 && isset($user) && ($mod_group <= 0 || is_group($user, $name))) || (isset($admin) && is_admin($admin)) || ($view == 3 && paid()) || ($view >= 4 && in_groups($groups)); if ($canView) { include_once $modpath; } else { define('INDEX_FILE', true); include_once 'header.php'; include_once 'footer.php'; } } else { define('INDEX_FILE', true); include_once 'header.php'; /* Why do we need to load a module on the home page? OpenTable(); if (is_admin($admin)) { echo '


' . _HOMEPROBLEM . '





[ ' . _ADDAHOME . ' ]


'; } else { echo '


' . _HOMEPROBLEMUSER . '


'; } CloseTable();*/ include_once 'footer.php'; } } ?>

I'm totally lost. PNC installs okay, but I know it's older and probably outdated. My host is [ Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! ] if anyone knows anything specific about their hosting.

why would the installer say I have Version 4.4.9 but my cpanel say 5.3.16? Is there maybe an issue on the hosting end?

You can try to upload a phpinfo file to your root and check there the php version to get some more info
:

Code:

<?





PHPINFO();





?>

You can name the file to whatever you like e.g. infos.php after upload call it with yoursite.com/infos.php
Afterthat you will know your PHP version and we can go further.

Possible there is an 500 error because of the white page or other issues with your ..htaccess. Therefore you should also activate display errors=" true" later in config.php to tell us more about other errors.

Just installed 2.3 and it works fine. I guess it's something related to the PHP version?

Posted: Fri Feb 01, 2013 12:28 pm

So, I guess you're running on PHP4 Confused

funny, I was looking through my cpanel and noticed something called PHP Config, so I clicked it and found:

The ".php" file extension will be processed by "Default"

I was able to change it to PHP5 via a drop down list. Now 2.5 is running fine.. So weird lol.

Thanks all for the suggestions.. Hopefully this will help others who may have the same problem.
