Problems with install script

Post by Lumpy »

I'm having trouble with the installation of Serendipity. The install script reports that "allow_url_fopen" and "file_uploads" are "OFF" as you can see in the following link:

The reason that I report here is that these variables are set to "ON" as you can see in the following link:

Hope that someone could helpme.

Thanks in advance.

your phpinfo looks okay. Have you tried uploading images to your blog (this one?) and fetching some from another server (in your media library)?

Thanks for your reply.

I have just fixed the problem with a workaround. I simply changed two lines in the file »installer.inc.php« below »/serendipity/include/admin/«.

Line 280 from

Code: Select all

echo serendipity_installerResultDiagnose(S9Y_I_WARNING, 'OFF');
to

Code: Select all

echo serendipity_installerResultDiagnose(S9Y_I_SUCCESS, 'ON');
and line 292 from

Code: Select all

echo serendipity_installerResultDiagnose(S9Y_I_ERROR, 'OFF');
to

Code: Select all

echo serendipity_installerResultDiagnose(S9Y_I_SUCCESS, 'ON');
Please note that this is only a workaround for my environment because I know that "allow_url_fopen" and "file_uploads" are set up correctly.

Also I tested the file uploads after the installation was finished. So I think there is a bug within the installation script which should be fixed in order to prevent people getting confused when trying to install Serendipity. ;)
