Step 4 to 5

Squiz Matrix Installation
1

Hi,
I'm using;

WinXP Pro

Apache (service) 1.3.28

PHP 4.3.4 (+PEAR)

MySQL 4.0.18 (service)



At step 4 all of the pear packages are verified but I have to supply the path (even though I have updated the registry using the provided *.reg file) and the next screen is blank. The only difference between this installation and one I did early on a machine at home (which worked) are,

  1. I don't have NT Local Admin privileges.
  2. We use auto proxies that don't allow the webinstaller for PEAR to work so I updated the packages manually.



    All of the paths are correct and I'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do next. Here are some details;

    INSTALLED PACKAGES:

    Any help would be appreciated.

What's the actual problem? :slight_smile:

3

Have you tried leaving the PEAR path blank so that the installer skips checking the actual version numbers of the modules?

4

Hi,
I tried that and it still goes blank at step 5. Is there anything I can look at on the phpinfo.php page that might reveal a misconfiguration? Also, in another thread, there was mention of a way to check that the permissions (read/write) have been setup successfully by looking in one of the *.inc files. It's an enigma wrapped in a puzzle wrapped in a conundrum. :blink:



Thanks - Ian

Can you check your php error log to see if there's an error being generated at all?

Hi,
I've pasted in the error log below. Also, in notice that I don't have a 'main.inc' file in the appropriate directory (but I'm not sure at what stage this is created). Thanks - Ian

Ah, I think I know what is causing those session-based errors. You do have access to the php.ini file, don't you?


In that file there's a setting called session.save_path that defaults to the UNIX '/tmp' folder. On a Windows system you need to uncomment that out and change it (to say, your Windows TEMP directory).

Yep,
worked like a charm. Thanks for that. :smiley:
