Topic: If you're having problems installing Open Blog Open Blog 1.2.1

I've run into a couple of problems with the latest install, and here are a few things that might help you during the install:

If you run into problems in Step 2 of the installation where the form is incomplete and stops at  the SEO portion, please do the following and rerun the installation:

Find the following code in ./install/pages/install/step_2.php, on line 39:

<td><input type="checkbox" name="enable_seo_urls" value="1" id="enable_seo_urls" class="styled" <?php echo (get_mod_rewrite_status()) ? 'checked="checked"' : ''; ?>  /> (choose this if your web server has mod_rewrite module enabled)</td>

Replace it with:

<td><input type="checkbox" name="enable_seo_urls" value="1" id="enable_seo_urls" class="styled"  /> (choose this if your web server has mod_rewrite module enabled)</td>

Please rerun the installation which now should have a complete for and will be able to go through all the steps.


If you have installed the system and the rewrite rules are working, but you're unable to login or register a ueser, please do the following:

Find the following line in ./application/config/config.php, on line 26:

$config['index_page'] = "";

Change it to:

$config['index_page'] = "index.php";

AFTER this, find the following line in ./application/config/config.php, on line 151:

$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;

Change it to:

$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;

Once you've done this, please clear your cache and cookies and refresh the page.  You should be able to login without further issue as well as register accounts.

Re: If you're having problems installing Open Blog Open Blog 1.2.1

Hello,

Thank you for your bug report and suggestions.

They will be considered in the next release.

You can also expect a much better admin panel and installer in the next release (currently I'm working on an improved admin panel and after that I'll work on the installer).

I might post some screenshots when I make more progress.

Oh and enable_query_string has nothing to do with the SEO URLs, for more information please refer to the CodeIgniter user guide.

Thanks, I forgot some people use empty password (which is not safe in any case).

I advise you to set the password for your database even if your server not accessible from the outside (localhost only).

Fatal error: Call to undefined function apache_get_modules() in /home/ricniven/public_html/kenbirddesigns/blog/install/includes/functions_common.php on line 22
I have looked at the ocde and am not able to determine what I must change to make the install run.

You can find the solution in the first post of this topic.

If you find it too difficult to change it yourself, post it and I'll attach the changed file.

Delete all the tables in the database or change the tables prefix (ob_) and re-start the installation process from step 1.

Hello! I'm trying to install Open Blog  and when I get to step 2, the form is incomplete at the "main blog info section". So when I saw this thread, i got all excited! tried the fix, but it changed absolutely nothing.

Solution in the first post should fix your problem.

If you can't get it working, say it and I'll post a modified file.

Re: If you're having problems installing Open Blog Open Blog 1.2.1

I Tried this Blog in win 2003 std edition server. Installed php and gave rights.

started the installation with the browser. step 1 is okey when i started the step 2 the error appeared
ERROR is as under
<td><input type="checkbox" name="enable_seo_urls" value="1" id="enable_seo_urls" class="styled" <?php echo (get_mod_rewrite_status()) ? 'checked="checked"' : ''; ?>  /> (choose this if your web server has mod_rewrite module enabled)</td>

and passed to Step 3

Further there is no message as the installation is completed

Hello
I'm reading this post because I have the same problem in installation, anyone could send the corrected file as it is not doing so.
Thanks
Excuse my grammar but only speak Spanish and I'm using a language translator to communicate.
