Windows Server 2003 install help

Recommended Posts

I have researched these forums for hours trying to figure this out to no avail. I have conpleted the install but had to insert the SQL via PHPMYSQL as the install script said the .sql doc was not there (Which it was). The install script also was not able to write to the config files, as I had to enter all of this information manually on both the catalog and admin config includes.

 

Now I can access the Admin "front" page but if I try to go to a specific admin page past that, I get a blank page.

 

If I try to acess the catalog, I am immediately forwarded to the install script.

 

I current have avery single file and DIR set to "everyone = full control" permissions in hopes of getting th install to work.

 

If anybody can offer any help at all I would be most grateful.

 

Thank you,

 

Boutwell

Anyone able to offer advice on this? I installed on my Linux server with no probs whatsoever but its a virtual account and not reliable at all.

 

If I find a fix, Ollebulle, I will certainly post it here, bud.

simple solution if yr problems are "local" (which is not mentioned):

download: http://www.apachefriends.org/en/xampp.html => it's free but you may donate.

 

installs in 60 seconds, does not change register, all the tools you'll need in the far future.

 

no i don't have anything todo with that URL nor the with software.

I just installed on a Windows 2003 server. I had to play around with the configure.php files quite a bit before everything worked. Here's some things that I changed in my configure file. Check these against yours to see if you missed something.

 

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://ws05.ipowerweb.com/mysite'); // eg, http://localhost - should not be empty for productive servers

define('HTTP_CATALOG_SERVER', 'http://ws05.ipowerweb.com/mysite');

define('HTTPS_CATALOG_SERVER', 'https://ws05.ipowerweb.com/mysite');

define('ENABLE_SSL_CATALOG', 'true'); // secure webserver for catalog module

define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', 'C:/Accounts/mysite/'); // where the pages are located on the server

define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', 'C:/Accounts/mysite/catalog/admin/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_WS_CATALOG', 'http://ws05.ipowerweb.com/mysite/catalog/'); // absolute path required

define('DIR_FS_CATALOG', 'C:/Accounts/mysite/catalog/'); // absolute path required

first off you have to manually config your Config filles in the following directories

 

catalog/includes/configure.php

catalog/admin/includes/configure.php

 

Delete th install directory to get your catalog to come up. 24 hours and I have gotten past those problems. This thing is giving me major problems in Windows 2003 Web Edition
