Fatal error at step02 during 3.18 installation

Squiz Matrix Installation
21

http://localhost/ shows fedora's testing page
http://localhost/ shows 404 page not found
still has the problem with the aliase.
Could you please have a look at the httpd.conf file?
thanks.

somehow get the _admin page works, but cant login as root

any idea?
23

Are you getting a "Login Key Incorrect" error? This is again due to your using just "localhost" as the hostname. Matrix does not support single word hostnames. The security system requires a fully qualified domain name which requires at least one dot (so localhost.localdomain is fine). You will need to configure your server to support an FQDN in order to consistently log in successfully.

What URL is Matrix outputting for these images? It sounds like your System Root URL is still not configured correctly, so the URL to the images is not being generated properly (and the Asset Map applet as well).

some errors:

translated_strings is not defined
[Break on this error] translated_strings["en"] = new Array();


You don't have permission to access /__lib/js/translation.js

url for the images seems quite right, e.g.
http://wo212-176-74.aut.ac.nz/__lib/web/images/section_icon.gif

problem with the permission?

Yup – Apache serves these files directly, so check the Apache error_log for more information to see if you can determine what is causing the permission error.

how to I fix the permission error? thanks

Can you PM me your current Apache configuration and main.inc file, please? There is a misconfiguration somewhere.

It works!!
Will take some time to experiment it.

Thanks Avi for all your help,

[quote]Matrix is working. :slight_smile: You don’t need to reference the index.php file, the Alias lines takes care of that. You should now be able to visit http://localhost/_admin to view the Administration Interface of Matrix.


However, localhost is not a fully qualified domain name, so you may run into problems with our security system. You should change the System Root URL configuration in main.inc to either the IP address of your server or localhost.localdomain so that the name is qualified.[/quote]



I’ve tried using the IP address of the server and it worksforme. and thanks Avi for the info to check out the Quick Start Guide for more info and a starting guide.



http://localhost/_admin

I've got exact same error as this first topic post has.
DSN is configured correctly like it says in Installation Manual.

Does DSN have to be configured in main.inc as well or db.inc is enough?



PS. I have latest Matrix Source release and Centos 5.2 server



Is there a way to install this thing?

so, so user unfriendly this installation is…
