Geek on Win98?

Authored by: Tony on Tuesday, December 18 2001 @ 06:26 am EST

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

Geek on Win98?

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 ;-)

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.
