Installation error

[Liz]

Hi,

I'm getting this error while installing SIMPLE to my webserver root. All is well up to this point.
The webserver is IIS. PHP and MySQL are running and Pear and MDB2_Driver_mysql installed Ok. Any advice appreciated.

"Creating readitems Primary Key...ok
Creating super user account
Phew! Completedunable to create ../LocalSettings.phpPHP Warning: fopen(../LocalSettings.php) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\facultyj\simple\installer\index.php on line 237 "

Rgds,

It looks like the "simple" directory doesn't have the correct permissions for IIS to create a file in it.

You'll need to configure the security permissions to allow IIS to create files in the "simple" directory so that it can generate the LocalSettings.php file.

Hope this helps!

Thanks very much for the advice. I have now run the full install but when I try to connect to
<h1>Site Information</h1>
<p>SIMPLE is now configured.</p>
<p>You should really now remove the <code>installer</code> directory.</p>
<p><A href="http://facultyj.hs.plym.ac.uk/simple/index.php">Click here to go to your site.</a></p>

I get the following..............

PHP Warning: Smarty::include(templates_c\%%7A^7A8^7A8BA0FC%%Homepage.php.tpl.php) [smarty.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\facultyj\simple\include\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1265 PHP Warning: Smarty::include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'templates_c\%%7A^7A8^7A8BA0FC%%Homepage.php.tpl.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\Program Files\PHP\pear') in D:\facultyj\simple\include\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1265 PHP Warning: Smarty::include(templates_c\%%00^00A^00AEFBD6%%TleUi.php.tpl.php) [smarty.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\facultyj\simple\include\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1258 PHP Warning: Smarty::include() [function.include]: Failed opening 'templates_c\%%00^00A^00AEFBD6%%TleUi.php.tpl.php' for inclusion (include_path='.;C:\Program Files\PHP\pear') in D:\facultyj\simple\include\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1258

Should I change the include path?

Hmm... you shouldn't need to modify the include path, it should use directories relative to the install dir.

Could you upload your LocalSettings.php file?

This is it...

<?php //See <helpurl>
$config[PLATFORM_NAME] ='simple';
$config[DATABASE_TYPE] = 'mysql';
$config[DATABASE_HOST] = 'localhost';
$config[DATABASE_PORT] = '3306';
$config[DATABASE_NAME] = 'SIMPLE_DB';
$config[DATABASE_USERNAME] = 'root';
$config[DATABASE_PASSWORD] = '********';
$config['home'] = 'http://facultyj.hs.plym.ac.uk/simple/';
$config['recordMetrics'] = true;
$config['salt'] ='I am a shaggy dog story';
$config['siteFooter'] = '&copy; 2006-7 <a href="http://technologies.law.strath.ac.uk/">Legal Education Technologies Lab</a>, Part of the Law School, University of Strathclyde';
$config['radiusServer']=array('');
$config['radiusSecret']='';
$config['newsfeeds']=array();
$config['listPageSize']=10;
$config['installDir']=''; ?>

Hi,

Thanks for that. I've updated and now I get this error in the browser
...........
PHP Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "Homepage.php.tpl" in D:\facultyj\simple\include\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1095 PHP Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "TleUi.php.tpl" in D:\facultyj\simple\include\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1095

Is that the full output for the page?

Hi,

Yes that was the full message in the browser window. I've now put d:\facultyj\simple\
and get this...

PHP Warning: Unexpected character in input: ''' (ASCII=39) state=1 in D:\facultyj\simple\LocalSettings.php on line 16 PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ':' in D:\facultyj\simple\LocalSettings.php on line 16

Looks like syntax but can't find a workaround we tried d:\\facultyj\simple\ but it still doesn't work. Do you have any suggestions?

Rgds,
