Get a Loop Error on install of CMSMS 2.0

[CapereSpiritum]

Hi Folks

Got the newsletter about CMSMS 2.0

Read the install info and attempted install.

Get a redirect error 'This web page has a redirect loop' and the URL changes to mydomain.co.uk/cmsms-2.0-install.php/index.php

Running PHP 5.5 on a 1and1 server.

Also I did read that a fresh install is only way. How would I upgrade one of my older CMSMS sites?

Thanks.

I thought I saw in another thread that 1and1 doesn't allow phar files, so you will need to download the expanded zip file (http://s3.amazonaws.com/cmsms/downloads ... panded.zip) and install it that way.

It seems you also need PHAR-support for the expanded zip-file. At one.com (they don't support PHAR) I get the error

Code: Select all

Fatal error: Class 'Phar' not found in /customers/8/5/e/.../httpd.www/cms/app/class.cms_install.php on line 217

Same problem over here.
using 1und1 server with php5.5 too.

according to the phpinfo() and the help section of the provider,
phar should be available.

but expanded installation files worked.
(more or less, site not working and admin panel is now complaining about missing template functions)

On 1 and 1 servers use ONLY the expanded zip file (cmsms-2.0-install.expanded.zip), not the cmsms-2.0-install.zip

Yes, Phar support is requried to be able to extract the zip file within both the expanded and compressed version of the installation assistant. If your host has disabled Phar support then talk with them about enabling this standard part of PHP.

Or consider moving hosts.

Hi Guys

Spoke to 1and1.

Lady said to modify php.ini file or the .htaccess file.

Not really clear on what I do here.

Googled activate PHAR on 1and 1 server.
Found install Composer via SSH.

Fumbled around blindly for a bit and then soothed my burning brain.

Anyone know if it's php.ini/.htaccess/using composer or other?

Really do like CMSMS but now I'm snookered with version 2.0 onwards which is a shame.

On 1and1 you can use the expanded installer.
Other than that, I haven't got a clue what has to be modified to prevent the redirection loops.
