Help for installation - Problem mit der Installation

Post by mauronervi »

Hi, since two days I am struggling with the installation of phpwcms on my webspace, and now I definitely need a help; you can help me in English or German, I write in English because technique terms are more likely to be understood. I know almost nothing about php, but I will try nonetheless :wink: That's what happened:

- After many tries with the SQL database, I received a mail from my provider with information about my SQL database:
username: woyzeck_manu
password: *********
database name: woyzeck_manu
database host: mybesthost.com
database port: 3306
- I began the installation (at: http://woyzeck.mybesthost.com/setup/index.php , since I put all phpwcms files in the main directory)
- On step 1 I entered the database data above (except the database port), checked "use persistent db con", let unchecked "create all db tables";
- On step 2 I let "webmaster" and "admin" as a try (hereafter I tried with woyzeck_manu and *********, with the same result) and checked "create admin account";
- On step 3 and 4 I let everything as default;
- On step 5 everything was red, indicating there was a problem, and it said "FALSE! (not existing)".
Since it was labelled: "Some "problems" maybe OK - you can check by testing phpwcms installation", I tried to copy the conf.inc.php to the include directory and login. If I login with "woyzeck_manu" it points to nothing (HTTP404). If I login with any other name (e.g. "woyzeck") it gives "Login incorrect". I suspect there is a problem with some path, but I can't find it out.
Here is the conf.inc.php in its actual form:

<?php

// database values
$phpwcms["db_host"] = "mybesthost.com";
$phpwcms["db_user"] = "woyzeck_manu";
$phpwcms["db_pass"] = "*********";

$phpwcms["db_prepend"] = "";
$phpwcms["db_pers"] = 1;

// site values
$phpwcms["site"] = "http://woyzeck.mybesthost.com/";
$phpwcms["admin_email"] = "mauronervi@hotmail.com";

$phpwcms["img_list_width"] = 100; //max with of the list thumbnail image
$phpwcms["img_list_height"] = 75; //max height of the list thumbnail image
$phpwcms["img_prev_width"] = 538; //max width of the large preview image
$phpwcms["img_prev_height"] = 400; //max height of the large preview image
$phpwcms["max_time"] = 1800; //logout after max_time/60 seconds

// other stuff
$phpwcms["compress_page"] = 0; //0 = OFF, 1-9: page compression ON (1 = low level, 9 = highest level)

$phpwcms["allow_remote_URL"] = 0; //0 = no remote URL in {PHP:...} replacement tag allowed, 1 = allowed
$phpwcms["gt_mod"] = 0; //0 = Graphical Text MOD disabled, 1 = enabled
$phpwcms["jpg_quality"] = 75; //JPG Quality Range 25-100
$phpwcms["sharpen_level"] = 1; //Sharpen Level - only ImageMagick: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 -- 0 = no, 5 = extra sharp
$phpwcms["allow_ext_init"] = 1; //allow including of custom external scripts at frontend initialization
$phpwcms["allow_ext_render"] = 1; //allow including of custom external scripts at frontend rendering

// dynamic ssl encryption engine

$phpwcms['SMTP_HOST'] = 'localhost'; // SMTP server (host/IP)
$phpwcms['SMTP_PORT'] = 25; // SMTP-Server port (default 25)
$phpwcms['SMTP_MAILER'] = 'mail'; // default phpMailer: smtp, mail (default), sendmail
$phpwcms['SMTP_AUTH'] = 0; // sets SMTP_AUTH to ON/OFF
$phpwcms['SMTP_USER'] = ''; // default SMTP login (user) name
$phpwcms['SMTP_PASS'] = ''; // default SMTP password


// Try to check and uncomment the DOCUMENT_ROOT if you have problems
// often neccessary on IIS or default MacOS X webserver settings
// Do not use backslash "\" on Windows - always replace "\" by "/"
//$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = '/home/www/woyzeck.mybesthost.com';


?>

And the system's characteristics are:
system: Linux mybesthost.com 2.4.27-ipacct #23 SMP Fri Oct 1 09:21:05 CDT 2004 i686
server: Apache/1.3.31 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.19 OpenSSL/0.9.7d VDB/1.0.1
php: v4.3.4
path: /home/www/woyzeck.mybesthost.com

How can I fix the problem? Please help me, in German or English!
Many thanks from Italy,
Mauro

- On step 5 everything was red, indicating there was a problem, and it said "FALSE! (not existing)".
u must set the right privileg for the red folder. read the here: http://docu.fhss.de/installation_en.phtml for more information.
