Editor won't update

[Nomaddk]

Hi there,

I have just installed EE and I can't get the editor to work.

This is the address that is returned in the browser :

http://www.myaddress.com/eealbumn/input//gallery/foo32423423/patheditor.php

I will just explain my workflow here, I have installed EE twice. The first time using the name eealbumn instead of gallery. this returned :

eealbumn/input//eealbumn/foo32423423/patheditor.php

I then uninstalled EE and tried again, this time following the install instructons to the letter.

This happens whenever I click on a button in the editor area there is no update and i (of course). get sent to a 404.

Does anyone have any idea of what can be the problem and a solution to it .

I will be very grateful for any help

Thnx

Nomaddk

The above myaddress and foo32423423 are of course fictive for obvious reasons.

http://www.myaddress.com/eealbumn/input//gallery/foo32423423/patheditor.php is not good path because there you may have broken the folder structure.

it should be http://www.myaddress.com/eealbumn/foo32423423/patheditor.php

You input folder should be right "under" gallery root.

A tip: please update to 1.3RC it will have better path handling code, get it from http://photography-on-the.net/forum/showthread.php?t=5552
As you have clean 1.22 run the 1.3 updater over it and copy and overwrite all the files to respective places. Should take only few minutes to do it.

Second, as you path seems to contain doubleslash // makes me think there is some server redirection on. In any case this is surely www server setup question, and its handling of POST data in PHP.

404 is page not found. Check that your www root is the real www root (e.g. some Cobalt servers have two www roots).

You might try also adding to fetchsettings.php a line...

ini_set ("include_path",".:/home/pathtosites/mysite/mywebroot/eealbum/");

...with your server path to gallery, which should force the includes know the gallery root in case PHP has problems to find it.

What's your server software? Please note that Apache 2.0 will give this kind of 404 problems, too. Apache 2.0 is not supported by PHP (and vice versa) - their symbiosis is purely beta stage and will be very troublesome.

But, if you still have problems after upgrading to 1.3 let me know and I'll think of something.

Thank you Pekka for your quick response.

I will try your suggestions and get back to you to let you know the result.

The server is an apache server (version??? i'll check it out)

Thnx again

I have the same problem (I install EE twice or more...). But I do not want to use the 1.3 now... I'm still learning of all this works... ;-)

Thanks...

As always: if you have problems getting it to run I offer to install and update EE to 1.3 if you mail to pekka@photography-on-the.net your ftp servername/username/pass and MySQL dbname/username/pass data. I'll then do the update from here and check everything works. If I see problems I try to fix them. This service is free of charge. I've done this several times already and people have been happy about it. I work only in your EE folder and you can log all my activities on ftp. I assure that my only interest it to get EE running and if there is problem find out and fix that problem.

It is nearly impossible to deduct reasons for problems servers create without being able to examine folder structure and http handling on the server itself.

Thanks for the offer, Pekka, but I don't have a web site yet... I'm just trying to install EE on my PC...

But in a few days, I'm going to have my web site...

I do most EE developement on Windows XP machine running Apache and MySQL, so if you have any questions of how to set it up just shoot! Basically I have done just as readme files in Apache, MySQL and PHP say :)

[Lewiswax2]

Thanks.

I'll try to install it on IIS in Windows 2000. I read some documentation, but some indications are quite obscure for me...

I do know how to install IIS on my machine, it's already done.

And I do understant that I have to install PHP, Apache and MySQL on my PC under c:\PHP, c:\Apache, c:\mysql, and not under c:\Inetpup\... Is it right?

I try to download phpMyAdmin but the link is broken. And as I'm beginner in running all those things, I'm sure it can help me.

That's my first questions...

You may have to uninstall IIS to get Apache take over http.

IIS uninstall instructions are in http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/en/server/iis/htm/core/iiiisin.htm
You should install Service Pack 1 before uninstalling, see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q289/2/28.ASP&NoWebContent=1

If you really want to use IIS only I can't say much about that. I don't have IIS on this XT machine, but I have another which runs Windows 2000. I'll have to set up IIS and check how PHP installs on it.

Anyway, I install Apache+PHP+MySQL manually but I think for you the best option is using any of the easy installers in http://www.hotscripts.com/PHP/Software_and_Servers/Installation_Kits/

e-novative looks pretty good.

Note that when using MySQL 4, you will need the latest version of EE Backup from http://photography-on-the.net/ee/backup/eebackup_105.zip

PHPMyAdmin is in http://www.phpmyadmin.net - you will need it only to make one empty database for EE. After that use only EE to manipulate that database.

just get IIS to work under port 88 or something else than 80. or just make it stop. Then Apache is no problem.
