3.4.0 installation error in step 15

Squiz Matrix Installation
1

Hello,


I've run into the following error in the very last step when installing 3.4.0 whitebrand using the web installer.



Everything seemed to be running ok up til that point. I succesfully have 3.2.1 running (which was on mySQl though), so I think all my PEAR modules are cool, any tips on what's gone wrong?



Running on:

Win 2000

Apache 2



Thanks Dale

Can you check the core\assets/metadata/metadata_fields/metadata_field_select directory? I have a feeling that there's probably some trailing junk at the end of the filename.

yes the filename looks to be:
metadata_field_select.inc0000644

edit_interface_create.xml0000644 also loks wrong



located in:

C:\Program Files\Apache Group\Apache2\htdocs\matrixsti\core\assets\metadata\metadata_fields\metadata_field_select



how do I work around that?



Thanks for the reply.



Cheers

I'm workingthrough renaming all the occurences that it finds…fingers crossed

[quote]What are these 0000644 files?
(As in this thread)



This is sometimes caused by unzipping a tar.gz file on Windows. Please download the .zip version of the installer.[/quote]



Hope that helps. :slight_smile:

ok renamed them all and it went through ok…logged into the _admin and ahem…no java applet displayed. Do you need a newer (ie 1.5) Java VM install for 3.4.0? I'm using 1.4.2 which works quite happily with 3.2.1. Any thoughts?


thanks



Dale

1.4.2 works fine. Can you access the Java console to check for any errors?

8

interestingly when I try it in firefox, I notice there's a JavaScript error:

    line 162
    char 53
    error: unterminated string constant
    code 0
    url: the path here


That puts it suspiciously in the vacinity of:


Does that help at all?

Hmm I imagine it's all related to the 000066 problems…perhaps I didnt catch them all. I'll request a new .zip version of the whitebrand and try again. Fingers crossed.

ok further into my Soliloquey :wink: The line looks actually to be this:

    ve="http://localhost/matrixsti/__lib/asset_map/java/complexassetmap.jar?t=1113371959" MAYSCRIPT>


any thoughts on how its actually meant to be terminated? and which file do I need to edit? Is this another .tar.gz artifcat?

Thanks

If you can send through an email to support@squiz.net and state that you need a 3.4.1 whitebrand zip package, we should be able to organise one for you.

12

not to add to a can of worms, but I've been told by Squiz at the moment that I can't actually have a 3.4.1 whitebrand unless I get the top end platinum support pack. My intention was to only get the Silver pack initially just to test the water…ah the drama continues :slight_smile: The obvious result being…no platinum …no upgrade past 3.2.1. Someone shoot me now hehe.

hats off to haniotak, I downloaded cygwin and used "tar -xf matrix.tar", then chmod 777 a few things (strange to have to do in windows 2000 hehe but old cygwin to the rescue again) and the web installer went without a hitch. phew!


So now I can at least continue evaluating Matrix and hope the licensing gets sorted out in the near future…fingers crossed.



Cheers
