[t0m_taylor]

hey everyone

ok having a problem installing it shared

every seems to have gone to plan, until this on the install page:

Code: Select all

would be great if someone could help me fix this and then i can get down to installing the site

thanks

Your /tmp directory must be writable for the webserver to use sessions!

Ok thanks

What about the double forward slash in the following when i go onto dj.tommytaylor.co.uk i get the following:

http://dj.tommytaylor.co.uk//serendipity_admin.php

Thanks

Tom

[garvinhicking]

That's not an issue, you can even use http://dj.tommytaylor.co.uk//////////// ... _admin.php and everything would work okay

It's a basic path issue, so there's no problem with that.

[t0m_taylor]

ah right ok

so how would i fix this basic path issue, i dont want two forward slashes like //

would rather just have the 1

also in which file would i change the path to its session folder (instead of using tmp as i cannot change the permissions of that folder at the moment)

Thanks

Tom

[garvinhicking]

If you don't want the two forward slashes, you must go and edit the Serendipity Core PHP Code and remove it. It'll be some work to find it, though.

The session.save_path can only be changed via the PHP Configuration, so you should talk to your Provider.

[t0m_taylor]

No worries i can fix the permissions on my tmp folder, which i shall sort once i finish work.

Any idea where i would find this double forward slashes so i can fix it?

Thanks

Tom

[garvinhicking]

Okay, great. The /tmp issue should be easily fixable.

About the double slash issue, you need to inspect the files

include/functions_installer.inc.php
include/functions_config.inc.php
include/admin/installer.inc.php

I don't know which one exactly, though. And I really think it's not worth the effort, because "//" is perfectly valid.

hi t0m_taylor,

The causality which a slash doubles is this.

Code: Select all

if ( !defined('IN_installer') && IS_installed === false ) {
    header('Location: ' . ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on' ? 'https://' : 'http://') . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . str_replace('\\', '/', dirname($_SERVER['\
PHP_SELF'])) . '/serendipity_admin.php');

Probably this changes to such processing.

Code: Select all

if ( !defined('IN_installer') && IS_installed === false ) {
    header('Location: ' . ($_SERVER['HTTPS'] == 'on' ? 'https://' : 'http://') . 'dj.tommytaylor.co.uk' . str_replace('\\', '/', dirname('/index.php') . '/serendipity_admin.php');

This is the point.

Code: Select all

'dj.tommytaylor.co.uk' . str_replace('\\', '/', dirname('/index.php') . '/serendipity_admin.php');

Probably this changes to such processing.

Code: Select all

'dj.tommytaylor.co.uk' . '/' . '/serendipity_admin.php');

This has been checked also with my server.
This will be reproduced 100%, if s9y is installed in docroot, without preparing a subdirectory.


However, I do not understand the causality which cannot write on /tmp.
Probably I think the problem of a server setup.

For example, does this script work?

Code: Select all

<?php
error_report( E_ALL);
ini_set( "display_errors", "on");
echo "fopen(if shown 'false', file create error):";
$fp = fopen( "/tmp/".rand(), "r");
echo "<br />";
if ( $fp !== FALSE) {
    echo "fwrite(if shown 'false', file write error):".var_dump( fwrite( $fp, "test"));echo "<br />\n";
    echo "fclose(if shown 'false', file close error):".var_dump( fclose( $fp));echo "<br />\n";
}
?>

This may be a server's problem when an error is displayed by this processing.(i.e. if use linux, Do you enabled selinux?)

[t0m_taylor]

Nope that script didnt work, i got:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: error_report() in /home/tommytay/dj.tommytaylor.co.uk/html/test_tmp.php on line

so that must conclude that my "/tmp" directory is not writable by the server, iv been told to do the following:

chmod a+w -R /tmp

and then it should work??

Thanks

sorry, "error_report" is mistake, it is typo of "error_reporting".
And also the argument of fopen was mistaken.

I rewriten. Please retry.

Code: Select all

<?php
error_reporting( E_ALL);
ini_set( "display_errors", "on");
echo "fopen(if shown 'false', file create error):";
$fp = fopen( "/tmp/".rand(), "w");
var_dump($fp);
echo "<br />\n";
if ( $fp !== FALSE) {
    echo "fwrite(if shown 'false', file write error):"; var_dump( fwrite( $fp, "test")); echo "<br />\n";

    echo "fclose(if shown 'false', file close error):"; var_dump( fclose( $fp)); echo "<br />\n";
}
?>

This is a result in my environment.

Code: Select all

fopen(if shown 'false', file create error):resource(4) of type (stream)
fwrite(if shown 'false', file write error):int(4)
fclose(if shown 'false', file close error):bool(true)

[t0m_taylor]

OK not a problem, soon as i came home from work i ssh'd in and changed the permissions and thats fine

my next problem is installing the Imagemagick binary!

[t0m_taylor]

OK this is wierd, just installed the Imagemagick binary, but its still showin yellow as if it cant find it, even tho when i do "which convert" and it returns "/usr/local/bin/convert" so it is there, can't see why the installation wizard is havin the problem??

[t0m_taylor]

Another thing also, how would i be able to share the user accounts across each blog?

[t0m_taylor]

yup now im getting the following errors while trying to complete installation
