I'm new to XOOPS but I have it installed and apparently running properly except when I try and access it from the outside world (home network is ok). I noticed in my logs that when someone tries to connect, the return code is NOT 200 but 302. The particular client I'm trying to use this from (via a remote login) has no problem getting to the xoops.org site.

Is there something in my set up that causes it to return 302 instead of 200? If I want my site available on the internet, should I be using 127.0.0.1 as my IP address (on the admin screen?) Other parts of the site (Apache 2/Linux) are accessible.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Well, I managed to finally get XOOPS up and running with an "out-of-the-box" system. Now I need to know how to set up my pages with different blocks (polls, headlines, search) extra but it appears that most of the documentation about anything other than module/theme design and intalling XOOPS is missing.

Is there some place I can get a "set up your site" tutorial? I've got modules installed but I don't know how (or where) to make my site MY SITE. I've got just the simple left-hand-side-only menu.

Thanks,

You got it! I reinstalled my php_mysql rpm and viola! it started working. Now I have to go back and remove all my echo statements!

Thanks to everyone who helped with this!

I've created the database but I'm still having the same problem though. I DID go through the Apache logs and found several errors like:

PHP Fatal error: Failed opening required 'XOOPS_ROOT_PATH/class/template.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/php/includes:/usr/share/php:/
var/www/html/adodb:/usr/local/ampoliros/etc') in /var/www/html/xoops/header.php on line 62

There seems to be one line like this for several files that are requested in header.php

I did go back and check that the mainfile.php has XOOPS_ROOT_PATH set correctly (i.e., /var/www/html/xoops)

The files ARE there and I changed them all to 777 just in case (and they are currently owned by uid=root gid=root

Any ideas what's up here?

I am having exactly the same problem (i.e., blank screen after "Confirm database". I have php debugging turned on (E_ALL) but still nothing. I can't see anything in the mysqld log and MySQL is compiled into my php 4.2.2

Do I need to create the database first or does the installation program do that for me? I have tried creating it by hand from the MySQL program logged in with the same user/password as I'm passing the XOOPS installation program and it does create it. I then drop it to allow XOOPS to try (I've also NOT dropped it but with the same result).

Is there SOMETHING I can look at or log that will tell me where the problem is? A blank page is not terribly helpful.

Thanks!
