Install Failed

I did a search on my issues before posting this, and either I didn't search correctly, or there's no information directly associated with this.

I am running PHP 5, MySQL 5 and Apache 2.x on Windows XP. (Intranet purpose).

I can't get the XOOPS installation to complete. I'm using phpmyadmin and it looks like the database was created, but if I leave it blank to create its own, it doesn't work and it prompts me to enter a database name. Here's the results if I use the database name that I entered using phpmyadmin:

File ../mainfile.php overwritten by ../mainfile.dist.php.
Failed writing constant C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs.
Failed writing constanthttp://localhost.
Failed writing constant mysql.
Failed writing constant xoops.
Failed writing constant localhost.
Failed writing constant root.
Failed writing constant *xpasswordhiddenx.
Failed writing constant xoops.
Failed writing constant 0.
Failed writing constant 1.
Failed writing constant 2.
Failed writing constant 3.
Failed writing constant 1.


* - edited to remove my password, since I do like to keep those things private. ;)

Things look alright to me, but this is having issues for some reason... anyone care to take a stab at it? I'm local to the system, so I can edit anything and everything.

Re: Install Failed

I am trying to get more information in This Thread. I do not believe that XOOPS currently works with the newly released MySQL 5 version.

I would suggest trying MySQL 4.1 and see if the install completes.

This is due to PHP5. The problem will be corrected in the next release.
In the meantime, you can edit /install/class/mainfilemanager.php
and change:
Quote:
$content = fread($file, filesize($this->path) );
fclose($file);

to
Quote:
clearstatcache();
$content = fread($file, filesize($this->path) );
fclose($file);


Also, jd's right about MySQL5. I'd suggest you use MySQL4.0.x . Full 4.1 / 5.0 compat is planned but it's not finished yet.

I received the exact same error message that started this thread when running Windows Server 2003/IIS6/PHP v5.1.1/Xoops 2.0.13.2/ I tried using MySQL v5.0.17 and v4.1.16...the error occured each time. The only way I got it to install was by downgrading to PHP 4.4.1 and MySQL 4.0.26. Aftr the site was setup I successfully upgraded mySQL back to 4.1.16....I haven't tried MySQL 5 yet.

Did you try editing the file /install/class/mainfilemanager.php as Skalpa suggested?

(I'm just curious to know whether it worked for you)

Skalpa's suggested change allowed me to bypass the same hurdle, and installation completed successfully.

Thank you a thousand times. I was starting to think evil thoughts about XOOPS, and really getting dissapointed at the whole thing last night.

Maybe the fix should be part of the Help file - Just a suggestion.

But I am on my way now, and Hap-Hap-Happy
