Trouble with Setup.php...

[eulic_mcgee]

I have installed PHP successfully (I think???) on Windows 2003 Server Standard. When I open IE and try to open the setup.php script, it goes to the Open/Save/Cancel dialogue. When I click on 'Open', a window flashes and then the 'Open/Save/Cancel' dialogue reappears. Click 'Open again and the same thing happens.

Where am I going wrong???

Your PHP is definitely not installed properly, that shouldn't happen.

I'd recommend creating a file called phpinfo.php in your web root with the following text inside

<?php phpinfo(; ?>

and trying to get that page to display first, before attempting to install SiT.

A lot of people use WAMP to run Sit on Windows. www.wampserver.com/en/

Good luck.

I agree with Ivan, i have installed SiT on a couple of Windows servers. Just install WAMP and then unzip SiT to c:wampwwwsit and then go to your IPaddress/sit

The setup.php will tell you if any of the settings are wrong. One problem i had was the apache settings need changing so that all your network can see it apart from just 127.0.0.1, but WAMP is very easy to setup.

OK... Thank you, I found the problem. It was IIS. I installed WampServer and like it much better. I finally got the setup.php up and running. It is coming up with an error:

"We couldn't find configuration defaults, this probably means your include_path is wrong. Your current include path is .;C:php5pear
SiT! Requires it's libraries to be in the include path which is specified in your php.ini file, modify your php.ini and set the new include path to point to the includes directory"

Now, going through the c:wamp directory and found two php.ini files and a PhpForApache.ini. I have changed the include_path in each one. Yet it hasn't made a difference. Oddly enough, the path mentioned in the error, is not mentioned anywhere in the files. Where is it getting the setting from? Is this a normal message, or am I missing the joke again?

I am also getting the error message:

"Access denied for user 'ODBC'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
Could not connect to database server ''. Did you configure the hostname correctly? Is the MySQL Server running?"

The server is running and everything is set to defaults. Should I be getting this error?

Hello,

Right click on the WAMP icon thats is near the clock and go to PHP > PHP.INI, search in there for
"; Windows: "path1;path2"" and then put :
include_path = ".;c:phpincludes;C:wampwwwsitincludes"
Now close the file and then you then need to right click on the WAMP Icon and restart all services...

That should fix the includes...

Now right click on the icon again and got to MySQL link > MySQL Console.

Now type

SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('MyNewPassword';

That should set your password and you should be able to continue with the setup.

Thanks

The menu in the lower right-hand corner does not have all of the icons that it should. I was going to save that for when I got up and going. Because I can still get to the necessary files, it is not so important. Never the less, correct me if I am wrong, but that shortcut should point to 'C:wampinphpphp5.2.5php.ini', correct? Within that file, I have set the include_path already:

include_path = ".;c:phpincludes;C:wampinSiT!includes" (This is a paste from the current config...)

I have even deleted and reinstalled under variousdifferent logins (As myself (Domain Admin...), local Administrator and the domain Administrator account...). Still the same result. I know I am probably being thick and have forgotten a setting somewhere. I was just wondering if this issue has arisen and what the solution was.

Also, I thought it odd that the path it is finding ('C:php5Pear'...) is not in the php.ini file at all. Is that an indication of a larger issue?

Once again, I appreciate the help with this issue. I have high hopes for this program and am anxious to get using it.

This may or may not be an issue, but I wouldn't recommend having an exclamation mark in your path. If it were me I'd rename your c:wampinSiT! directory to c:wampinsit and then change that include_path appropriately.

Worth a try probably.

Have you tried a phpinfo() in a file yet? It usually is a help to do that because it will print the current php configuration that is being used, and you'll see if it's picking up your include_path ok.

The fact that I am not getting the complete menu after WampServer is installed, is that a possible problem?

Problem solved. I am chalking it up to the awkwardness of Windows. I was trying to use an existing Server rather than have to rebuild a new one. I should have known better than to use Windows. I should have built a Linux box.

Anyway, I had originally installed without the exclamation in the directory label, but it made no difference. I removed and reinstalled once again. The only difference this time is that I installed and used Firefox instead of IE7. Low and behold, it worked like a charm. I'll never trust Microsloth again.

Thank you for all of your assistance with this. It was much appreciated. I especially appreciate the heads up regarding WampServer. I have seen it before in my travels, but never had a need to use it. I will know for future client needs.

Cheers...
