Tons of warnings and notices + cant go to next step

Hi

I've downloaded ohowcms and after reading the webpage I was really impressed what seems to be a very powerfull yet simple tool to manager "small" pages. This of course makes it really annoying that I cant get it to work properly =)

From the moment where I launch setup/index.php there is a ton of notices and warnings. At the same time I need to manually change the step= to get to the next step. Doing this I managed to get the setup file created and copied it to includes/inc_conf/conf.inc.php.

Now when I launch the admin interface it totally impossibel to do anything since pretty much all textfields are filled with fx "notice undefined index at line 29 in .....". Getting templates set up with this is really meassy and I had to give up.

The solution to this might be to disable to reporting of notices/warnings but why was the system coded like this in the first place? Using isset and similar it would be much more correct to deal with the situation in a proper way. It makes me quite frustrated that this is not the case since I cant change the settings at my webhotel hoster, and they run with notices and warnings turned on

So.. is this a result of me making a setup error or is it just coded like this? In case of the last answer, is there then anything, beside modifying the code, I can do to get it to run at my webhost?

Thanks in regards, really hope I can get to use this great system

Hello Jannick,

which version of php is running at your hoster?

BTW: Change your hoster if he uses such config

Cheers,
Florian

P.S.: Topic have to be IMO moved to "phpwcms Installation Troubleshooting" because it belongs to PHP Server config. So Oliver, please move it, or another Moderator/Admin

The hosting company is ruuning php 4.3.4 (on a win32 comp). I turned off the notices on my local server and the system ran perfectly =)

Problem is Im making this for a friends mothers new shop (yeah far out). They had started their own project which never resulted in anything, but the point is that they have brought a year at the webhost.. so its not so easy to change. Ill probabbly end up having to go through the code and make runtime check on all the notices

Please move the post if its in wrong forum, I just thought that "Get help with installation and running phpwcms 1.1-RC1 here" matched my problem =)
