Hi all,
Just downloaded the latest stuff and am attempting a first time install.

Running the install.php script, just gives me tons of errors. I've been able to work around some of them.. for instance, it keeps whining about creating the include directory. I got past that, and now it doesn't like the fact that my wwwroot path doesn't match my url. I'm not sure what this is about.

my path is /storage/htdocs/FUD for browseable stuff and
/storage/FUD for non-browseable stuff.
the url will eventually be http://www.drshouse.com/FUD

All the errors I'm incurring appear to be that install script related. I've done this a million times with other programs and am familiar with what it's trying to do underneath.

I'm on Suse v7.2 but upgraded my mysql engine to '49' per your suggestion. php 4.0.4. so, i have all the requirements. I have a ton of apps running on this now.. web-based, php, mysql, all that.

Am a little stumped as to how to get around this. Am currently using phpBB v1.44. I like your forum better and want to switch.

thanks,
Mark

I've sent you a few questions via ICQ, if you can please answer them

I'm not sure whether my ICQ client supports that. I'm running everybuddy. it runs on linux. I don't have any windows available. I live on linux.

I only have a single frankensteinian pc in the basement that I have to use for everything. So it's firewall, server, web site, and workstation all in one. I have to leave it in linux as it runs my domain. it runs 24/7. All that drivel was basically to explain why i didn't get your icq-based questions. feel free to contact me though if you'd like.

Heh, that's what I figured. I run LiCQ on Linux and it is a disaster...

The problem you have mentioned on the forum is actually the result of the following:
the install script creates a test file in the /storage/htdocs/FUD/ directory and then tries to access that file via http://www.drshouse.com/FUD/ if it cannot it will give an error about not being able to match paths.

Anyhow, here are my questions to you:

1) When you were specifying paths for various directories, did you include the trailing / in the path?

2) Could you paste here the errors you have recieved when trying to install the forum?

Ok, for the sake of sanity, I'll start over.

php and mysql versions:
===========================================
thedr:/www # rpm -qa | grep -i php
mod_php4-core-4.0.4pl1-90
mod_php4-4.0.4pl1-90
phpdoc-4.0.3-38
thedr:/www # rpm -qa | grep -i mysql
perl-Msql-Mysql-modules-1.2216-13
MySQL-client-3.23.49-1
MySQL-shared-3.23.49-1
MySQL-3.23.49-1
MySQL-devel-3.23.49-1
=============================================

permissions and such on directories and files:
*note: apache runs as wwwrun.nogroup
users are typically [user].users
===================================================
thedr:/www # ls -ald /storage/htdocs/FUD /storage/FUD
drwxrwx--- 9 wwwrun nogroup 197 Feb 19 16:39 /storage/FUD
drwxrwx--- 2 wwwrun users 62 Feb 19 17:57 /storage/htdocs/FUD

thedr:/www # ll /storage/htdocs/FUD
total 23
-rw-rw---- 1 wwwrun users 18809 Feb 19 17:57 install.php

*where I've put the stuff for the initial install:
thedr:/www # ll /usr/local/src/
drwxr-xr-x 4 wwwrun users 154 Feb 18 17:31 forum_install
========================================================

Values that I put into the dialog screens from running http://www.drshouse.com/FUD/install.php
===================================================
Installation Path Step 1 of 5
/usr/local/src/forum_install/

PATH OF SYSTEM FILES AND DIRECTORIES Step 2 of 5
Server Root
/storage/htdocs/FUD/
Forum Data Root
/storage/FUD/
Forum WWW Root
http://www.drshouse.com/FUD/
===========================================================

Errors from selecting "Next" using the above values:
I get about 50 of the first one:
============================================================
Warning: Unable to create '/storage/FUD/include': Is a directory in /storage/htdocs/FUD/install.php on line 94Warning: Unable to create '/storage/htdocs/FUD/images': Is a directory in /storage/htdocs/FUD/install.php on line 94

Warning: fopen("/storage/FUD/include","w") - Is a directory in /storage/htdocs/FUD/install.php on line 116

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /storage/htdocs/FUD/install.php on line 117

Warning: Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /storage/htdocs/FUD/install.php on line 118
=============================================================

At the bottom of the page containing the errors is the step 3 of 5 where it asks for the mysql server info. I've not tried to go past this yet.

Since ICQ is obviously not working, could you possibly meet me on IRC?

it's saying i have an open proxy. I made sure that I'm running identd and that it's available outside.

I'm currently looking into this open proxy thing.. I use squid but am not using it for irc.

Why not use NAT?

Anyhow, I am connected to dal.net as prottoss so if you can connect to it, we can talk there...

K,
I'm all happy and it's running fine.

The author of this software worked with me for about an hour and figured out some stuff and helped me get it running.

Here's what all I did.

I started with stock Suse v7.2 install.

I installed apache and just about every module known to man from the SuSE CD.

I then went and got the latest mysql RPM's from mysql.org and installed that in place of the SuSE version. It's too old.
Then I went and got pspell, built and installed it.
Got the perl module from that site, built and installed it.
Then I went and got aspell, patched it, built and installed it.

Then I went to php.org and got the latest 4.1.1 php source package.
I built php using the following configure line:
./configure --with-mysql --with-apxs --with-pspell --enable-bcmath --with-gd

What this did for me is give me pspell support for FUD, plus I figured while I was at it, I'd grab support for gd and bcmath for ACID graphing. I've been waiting for that for awhile.

Anyway, this sounds hard but I was actually able to do all this without having to compile apache from scratch, which i consider an absolute nightmare.

Anyway, I'm also willing to lend any assistance that I can. I'm not a programmer.. just a techie.

To avoid needing to recompile apache everytime you re-install/change your php, install php as a dso module. This would make php a loadable module rather then being hardcoded into the apache binary. As such you can change php and the only requirement would be a restart of apache.

right.. during all of this, other than initially telling apache about php docs in the httpd.conf file, I didn't have to touch apache at all. Never had to recompile it.

..just restart, of course.
