I am trying to install cvs 1.4.1 and everything goes ok until the second page of the installer, then I get this message.
I looked for it in search but it seems to be a new problem. I dropped the tables in the database and ran the installer again but the same. I also "tried later" but still not working.

That's not a new problem but our new error handler

I assume you only got this when you were already on the success.php page? At that point, your database has probably been populated properly and then it ran into some other error, e.g. a parse error or a missing PEAR package.

If you call up your site's index page, you probably get the same message. In that case, find this new config.php variable:
Set it to true and try again. You should get an error message then.

And remember to change it back to false after you get the site up and running.

thanks for the reply. I checked the pear packages again and they seem to be complete. I set "true" in rootdebug but I only get the "unfortunately" thing and no more details. In the error log is only the dummy entry.
I once in a while install the cvs and play around and it always worked to install but this time...

Okay, can you please disable the error handler then? You will then get a normal error (or the dreaded Blank page). I'm interested in what actually caused the problem for you, so that we can address this before we release this version. Thanks.

To disable the error handler, find this line in lib-common.php: and replace the 'set_error_handler' with a function that is guaranteed not to exists, e.g. 'xxxset_error_handler'. Then try again.

bye, Dirk

the error was a (slight) mistake in the path in lib-common.php. I apologize for neglecting to verify the correct pathes before I post in the forum...

No problem. I was just interested to learn why the error handler would not work for you. I guess there's no way it could have worked in that case - good to know once we go live with it and other people may run into the same problem. So thanks for debugging it

bye, Dirk

This happened to me when I installed from cvs. I enabled debugging and saw that in /system/classes/syndication/parsefactory.class.php line 31 read as follows :


require_once('/HTTP/Request.php');


Which does not point to the "pear" directory. To resolve this I edited the line as follows:


require_once($_CONF['path_pear'] . '/HTTP/Request.php');

The leading slash shouldn't be there (and it isn't in 1.4.0 or the CVS version, AFAICS). Other than that, it's correct as it is. The path to PEAR will be set in lib-common.php, if necessary, or simply be left alone to be resolved with the server's default paths.

bye, Dirk

Hi,
I got the same error message and in my case the problem was that I did not change the location of "config.php" in the "lib-common.php", after changing it it's working fine without any problems ..
