Geek on Win98?

Authored by: Anonymous (Anonymous User) on Monday, December 17 2001 @ 11:16 pm EST

Hi, Tony.

I\'m trying to make the Portuguese translation (75% finished), but now I in a little-big trouble: I can\'t install Geek 1.3 on my Win98+Apache+PHP4.10+MySQL3.23.46 machine :-(

Tried install script, but \'cause of the \'\\\' , don\'t work.
Tried manual setup, with no sucess too...

I have other stuff\'s running , like myphpnuke, phpwebsite, phpbb2.0, yerba, and never had a problem like that...

It\'s possible to make one \'win package\' of Geek? I\'m very interested in make the translation, and use Geek, but I don\'t have condition to stay online all the time to test/customise my sites, and don\'t have skills to use Linux at this time.

Thanks for your help and time,

Fallen

Geek on Win98?

Install script should work OK on Windows. The manual installation DEFINTELY should work. What steps did you follow exactly while doing the manual installation?

Hi again, Tony.

Geek is working now :-)

Following your instructions to make a manual install, and with no sucess, I have made a little solution:

Instead of use absolute paths, I'm using relatives in config.php and lib-common.php:

Like this for config.php:

$_CONF['path'] = '../';
$_CONF['path_system'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'system/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'public_html/';
$_CONF['path_log'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'logs/';
$_CONF['path_language'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'language/';
$_CONF['rdf_file'] = $_CONF['path_html'] . 'backend/geeklog.rdf';

and this for lib-common.php:

include_once('../config.php');

The install script dont work for me, because you're using absolute paths , and when the config.php is generated, it display:

$_CONF['path'] = 'c:wind95desktopwwwgeek/';
$_CONF['path_system'] = 'c:wind95desktopwwwgeek/system/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = 'c:wind95desktopwwwgeek/public_html/';
$_CONF['path_log'] = 'c:wind95desktopwwwgeek/logs/';
$_CONF['path_language'] = 'c:wind95desktopwwwgeek/language/';
$_CONF['rdf_file'] = 'c:wind95desktopwwwgeek/public_html/backend/geeklog.rdf';

The script-added slashes are are all 'unixed'.

When I install the database after this pass, I can't login, post messages, set preferences, etc.

But dumping the tables and data with phpMyAdmin, all ok.

I'll send you my translation in the next days, for inclusion in the next minor update ;-)

Regards,

Fallen

In my windows install my slashes are inter-mixed and it works fine. Most of the PHP file system commands are smart enough to compensate. The only real problem I had with windows was a whitespace at the end of critical files.

I\'ll see if we can\'t get the slashes thing completely figured out so it does the right one depending on your OS in the next release.
