Installation on Apple OSX

Post by kelley »

Hello,

I am hoping that there is a Mac user that can help get through the install. I have the verison RC4 and copied its contents into my site directory http://127.0.0.1/~kelley/

I made a database called website. Ran through the installer http://127.0.0.1/~kelley/setup/setup.php. and all I get on the last page is:

filestorage: phpwcms_filestorage FALSE (not existing)
temporary: phpwcms_tmp FALSE (not existing)
templates: phpwcms_template FALSE (not existing)
thumbnail list: thumb_list FALSE (not existing)
preview images: thumb_preview FALSE (not existing)
frontend content: content FALSE (not existing)
frontend images: images FALSE (not existing)
ftp takeover: phpwcms_ftp FALSE (not existing)

I have made the pages writable and changed the .htaccess to _.htaccess in the httpd.conf.

Anyone know what is happening? This CMS looks great and would love to give it a try.

Thanks for the support

Please open the file conf.inc.php in the inc_conf folder. You should have the following part in it:

Code: Select all

// site values
$phpwcms["site"]              = "http://127.0.0.1/~kelley/";
$phpwcms["admin_email"]       = "your@mail.com";

// paths
$phpwcms["root"]         		= "";         //default: ""
$phpwcms["file_path"]         = "phpwcms_filestorage";    //default: "phpwcms_filestorage"
$phpwcms["file_tmp"]          = "phpwcms_tmp";     //default: "phpwcms_tmp"
$phpwcms["templates"]         = "phpwcms_template";    //default: "phpwcms_template"
$phpwcms["dir_thlist"]        = "thumb_list";   //default: "thumb_list"
$phpwcms["dir_preview"]       = "thumb_preview";  //default: "thumb_preview"
$phpwcms["content_path"]      = "content"; //default: "content"
$phpwcms["cimage_path"]       = "images";  //default: "images"
$phpwcms["ftp_path"]          = "phpwcms_ftp";     //default: "phpwcms_ftp"
Is this the case?

Hi

I'm a MacUser to (allthough I installed phpwcms on the provider's space). Did Jérôme's suggestion help? does your php installation in general work?

You say you made the files writable. These shoudln't be files, these should be folders.

Hope this helps.

We Mac-Users have to work together. It's such a rough world outside :).
