blank install

[Merquise]

I followed the documentation and read the manuals, I cannot find anywhere that would point me in the right direction, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

• I unzipped to harddrive
• I uploaded it to its own folder
• I changed the permission settings on include, and albums folder and subfolders
• I created a database
• I point my browser to http://www.nwcob.com/gallery/install.php
• --nothing

It does not make any mySQL tables, I get no error or anything indicating a problem in my browser window. Just a blank browser.

Apache 1.3.33 on Redhat Linux 7.3 and 9.0 servers, ImageMagick version 5.22, GD Version  bundled (2.0.28 compatible)

Do you have any php scripts already running on the server? If not upload a phpinfo.php file to test php is working.

Code Select Expand


<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Yes I have a calendar app in php.

I have phpinfo.php uploaded into the root dir, it works and returned all kinds of information.

Make sure that you have uploaded the coppermine files using a proper FTP app (not some crap like MS Frontpage), using the proper mode. It's not a good idea to have coppermine reside within a subfolder named "phpmyadmin" imo.
There are several reasons that may result in a blank install page - please search the sub-board cpg1.4 install for the term "blank" or "blank page".

Alright, after an extensive search of the forum, I found a few post that were somewhat relavent to what I needed.  I picked out certain things that seemed like they applied to my server profile.  I deleted everything off, redownloaded the zip from a different mirror. 

I unzipped to my hard drive.  I did the CHMOD changes to include, , edited config.inc.php to include MySQL config information(changed localhost to mysql). I did not add the "." in the php.ini file infront of the ./includes line, that I downloaded from php.net yet, I wanted to see if it was going to work without having to do that.  Uploaded using Ipswitch WS FTP Pro.

I went to http://www.nwcob.com/gallery/install.php and viola! I got farther along as now I showed a MySQL Error. Went back, changed mysql to mysql.bluedomino.com and that worked, the configuration page showed up and I was able to enter the rest of the information that I needed, hit lets go, or continue (I cannot remember now).

Then I got another error
Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket> '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock'> (2),  Anyways, I searched the forums, found your advice to be that it was a host problem at that point.  Contacted my host and they told me that The CGI scripting functionality of my account was not set-up properly. They have now reset it for my account. I had to login to my account and enable CGI though the CGI management link in the Control Panel. Once CGI is enabled cgi-bin directory will be available. My PHP-nuke script will be functional the next time the CGI servers reload.

So, now I wait until tomorrow when they reload CGI servers.  At this point it is still unsure if it will work, but I will know in the morning.

My PHP-nuke script will be functional the next time the CGI servers reload.

How does PHP-nuke fit into the image? Aren't we talking about Coppermine here?

[Merquise]

Beats me, I have no idea how PHP-nuke fits in, thats just what they (my host) said. And yes we are talking about coppermine.  Hopefully it will not affect coppermine script. Is that something that can affect coppermine? Maybe they thought I had a php-nuke app installed.  If the script functions tomorrow then bonus for me! I hope it does, coppermine is exactly what I am looking for. I will let you know what happens.

Thanks!
