Installation problem

[ejosh]

Please help! At Step 1 of the installation process, after I enter my name and password, and click on the 'create tables' button, nothing happens. I can't proceed to the remaining steps of the installation. What should I do? Thanks so much.

a lot of questions, very often repeated:

- does your server support PHP and MYSQL?
- which versions of PHP, MYSQL?
- did you upload the content of the zip file which you downloaded?
- did you edit the file pixelpost.php in the admin-directory and entered the informations for the database?
- did you set the attributes for the image- and the thumbnail-directory?

did I forget a question?

please give us the answers and we can look further

good luck,
Connie

Hi Connie,

Thank you for answering so quickly. Here are the answers to your questions.
1) yes, my server supports PHP and mySQL
2) not sure which versions, but I am fairly sure the versions are current
3) yes, I uploaded all of the contents of the zip file I downloaded.
4) yes, I edited the pixelpost.php file and entered all relevant info

Also, I am running Frontpage extensions on my webpage. Do you think that this could have any effect?

Thanks again for your help.

[Connie]

well, Frontpage will not affect your installation

I am busy in the moment because my Net connection broke down (Hotel WLAN) and now first I must check some other things

I will be back

can you check your MYSQL, maybe with PHPmyAdmin

do you see the tables created?

and: did you get any error message?


could you edit the install.php in the following way:

go to Line 29 require("pixelpost.php");
and modify it to

error_reporting(E_ALL);
require("pixelpost.php");

by this the script will show all error messages

let us know..

Hi Connie,

I added the suggested lines of code, and when I go to the Step One page, the following error messages appear:

Warning: Undefined variable: _GET in /nfs/cust/5/08/06/560805/web/www/admin/install.php on line 57

Warning: Undefined variable: _GET in /nfs/cust/5/08/06/560805/web/www/admin/install.php on line 83

Warning: Undefined variable: _GET in /nfs/cust/5/08/06/560805/web/www/admin/install.php on line 94

Thanks again for all of your help,

Josh

as $GET is a system-environment-variable which must not be defined somewhere, you should run a phptest-script to check whether register_globals is on or off

you can find this information using the following code:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

tell us whether it is off or on

[ejosh]

Hi Connie,

regsiter_globals is on (both the local value and master value). What next?

As usual, thank you so much for your help and your persistence.

By the way, in case you need it, here is the link to my test page:

i have this problm on installation

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/digitaln/public_html/includes/pixelpost.php on line 8

This error usually means there's a misplaced or unescaped quotation mark in the file. Since the error occurred on your pixelpost.php file, do you have an single or double quotes in your host, DB, user, password, or prefix fields? Did you make sure you entered your information inside the double quotes provided, and didn't accidentally delete one?
