installation problems!!! Please Help

Post by ahmad »

Hi everyone,
I have all kind of problems installing WCMS.
i have tried so many things here and there.....and finally I delete the site completely and restart all over.

here is the story:
i use Windows 2000 advanced server with IIS and PHP Support
my site is like this: http://MyDomain/phpwcms

-At the very first, i do create the Database file using MySQLFront.
-when i run the http://MyDomain/phpwcms/setup/index.php
i get at the very top of the screen:
Notice: Undefined variable: body_onload in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpwcms\setup\index.php on line 32
>

and at the info part of the page i get:
system: Windows NT CITRIXSERVER 5.0 build 2195
server: Microsoft-IIS/5.0
php: v4.3.5
path:
Notice: Undefined index: DOCUMENT_ROOT in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpwcms\setup\index.php on line 91
/phpwcms


i could solve the problems (i know it should not be done this way) by inserting:
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = 'c:/inetpub/wwwroot';
in the index.php file (in the setup directory)

that fixed the 'DOCUMENT_ROOT' proplem but the 'Undefined variable' did not go.

Now, when i press to "Agree" button, setup.php will be in the browser with the following erros on top:

Notice: Undefined index: step in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpwcms\setup\setup.php on line 25

Notice: Undefined index: do in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpwcms\setup\setup.php on line 26
Notice: Undefined variable: body_onload in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpwcms\setup\setup.php on line 180
>


and again with the 'DOCUMENT_ROOT' problem in the info area, i go ahead and fix that in the setup.php and refresh, i get rid of the problem (in the info area only)

now, when I press "Start install and setup" button, i get the database info screen. i went ahead and filled in all necessary info. Now, when pressing the send DB Data button, i get:

Notice: Undefined variable: conf_file in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpwcms\setup\setup.php on line 291

Notice: Undefined index: db_sql in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpwcms\setup\setup.php on line 44

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpwcms\setup\setup.php:291) in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\phpwcms\setup\setup.php on line 77

with no more GUI screen!

i've tried doing the manual setup as suggested in the "installation Document" and did same tweeking to get rid of some messages, but again i come to a dead end!!! :(

Please Help!! :)

I got bored reading at of that :) but at the bottom of your conf.inc.php there is provision for the server_document issue.
I also belive that the setup process has a test for this very problem.

did you try the conf.inc.php solution?

well i am sorry if my details were loooong! :)

i have tried almost everything suggested in the accompanied documents and from other messages and replies on the board but still in Windows environment it did not work for me.

i reinstalled everything from scratch in Appache on windows 2000 (localhost:8080)...did not have the problems i got on iis but now when it supposed to go to login screen, a blank screen showed up....no matter what.....and i remember few messages on the board complaining about blank page....

i will have to dig through and find out a solution....but if you have one on hand, please land me a hand! :)
