Hi people.

OK I've installed XOOPS before v1.3 I think and had no problem, however I am currently suffering from this:

Saving configuration data..
File ../mainfile.php overwritten by ../mainfile.dist.php.
Failed writing constant D:/*****.
Failed writing constant http://www.*****.**.**.
Failed writing constant mysql.
Failed writing constant xoops.
Failed writing constant localhost.
Failed writing constant *****. (replaced for security)
Failed writing constant ********.
Failed writing constant xoops.
Failed writing constant 0.
Failed writing constant 1.
Failed writing constant 2.
Failed writing constant 3.
Failed writing constant 1.


Configuration data has been saved successfully to mainfile.php.

I am installing to a Windows XP machine with SP2 and the following:

Apache 2.0.55
MySQL 5.0.19
PHP 5.1.2
xoops-2.0.13.2

I am assuming that one or more of these is incompatible with XOOPS or I can not see the wood for the trees and I am missing something.

Any help would be appreciated.

Many Thanks

Yogiman!

Hi there,
I had the same problem. What I noticed is that mainfile.dist.php is not actually overwriting mainfile.php. I copied and pasted the contents of mainfile.dist.php to mainfile.php and it worked. I don't think this is the right thing to do though.

Now I have a problem where, after the Confirm Database Settings screen, I get a blank page. I need help with this problem. If anyone can help, that would be great! Thanks

Nina

Hi Nina

are we right to assume here you have tried all the suggestions in the FAQ on blank pages?

Nina

Thanks for your suggestion, but I actually sorted out the problem myself.

I removed the version of MySQL and installed an older version 4.xxx which solved the problem.

cheers

Yes I did and it was not helpful. I figured out the problem though. I had to change the version of php...

Hey Yogiman,
Did you get MySQL 4 to work with PHP 5?? I was using that and it wouldn't work. I had to use PHP5 for it to work with MySQL 4. Strange...
