Expert installation: NO Submit Button

Post by chris2000 »

Hi,

when I select on Windows "expert installation", the last question is

"Make external links clickable?".

But there is no submit button.

"Simple installation" works, but then in the admin-suite on the administration / configuration page is the last entry "Is serendipity embedded?". Again no submit button.

Thanks in advance!

This sounds very much like a broken page output. Have you looked at the HTML output? Does it also stop in between?

If yes, you should look into your PHP/Webserver error logfile, as it sounds as if your PHP is coredumping or erroring out.

Yes, that's it.

Code: Select all

[Sun Mar 05 16:05:37 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: c:/programme/apache group/apache/htdocs/blog/serendipity/serendipity_admin.phpnonexistant
That's the only error, that appears several times.

This entry in the error log is only a file that Serendipity tries to access to see if URL Rewriting on the server is possible.

If the output of the HTML stops in between, you have a serous webserver problem, as PHP is coredumping/Segfaulting. You'll need to throughly inspect that, make tests with other PHP versions or other Apache/IIS versions, or try to search your system log for errors.

You showed a snippet of the Apache errorlog, which does not contain that information. On unix systems you would need to inspect the /var/log/syslog and the PHP error log, for example.

Thank you. In the Apache error log is no other error reported.

Other PHP-Scripts like Wordpress work without any problems. For the time being I'll stay with it.

BTW: I'm using Apache/1.3.33 and PHP/5.0.4.

Maybe I should update this configuration, when I've time for.

The problem is that all PHP applications do not share the same code, so depending on which Code calls they make, the one script works and the other doesn't.

If you could please edit your php.ini file and enable the 'error_log' and 'display_errors' and set the 'error_level' to E_ALL you might find additional information in your PHP specified error logfile...

HTH,
