WAMP Installation fails

Post by walnut »

I set up the latest version, 1.4.7 on my testing server, WAMP Version 2.0, PHP 5.3.0, Apache 2.2.11 and MySQL 5.1.36. When I try to run setup I get the following message.
Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'C:/wamp/www/henry/setup/index.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in Unknown on line 0
I am at a loss as I have run earlier verions of phpWCMS on this server and I can run Joomla, Word Press and Website Publisher without any problems.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have read the XAMPS posting but did not find them helpful.

Hi,

the real path to this installation is "C:/wamp/www/henry/setup/" ????

Actually the installation is in the "henry" directory, not the setup directory. However when I try to access the index file in the root I get the following:
Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Permission denied in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required 'C:/wamp/www/henry/index.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in Unknown on line 0
The URL would be http://localhost/henry/index.php

I don´t know "wamp", but have a look: http://www.wampserver.com/phorum/read.php?2,13885,16388

I think the better one is Xampp.

Thanks, but that discussion did not seem to help.

What I can't understand is why an older version of phpWCMS worked and the new version does not. Also WordPress and Joomla! work just fine. This leads me to suspect hat phpWCMS has a change and is looking for the PEAR folder but I have no idea where to look.

Yes, the index file is in the right place. I have actually done quite a large number of phpWCMS installations because it is a great program. This is the first time I have had this problem and it is only on the WAMP server. And, as I said, earlier versions have worked fine and other CMS systems work fine.
