what prerequisites?

[janvl]

Hi,

I tried to install on localhost (php 5.5).
Get a blank screen and no error-notifications.
I have installed ionCube afterwards, but no result.

Is there a list of what the system (cms 2.0rc1) expects to be installed?

Kind regards,
Jan

Did you use the PHAR-installer or the "expanded installer"?
Maybe your hoster does not support PHAR?

Hi

I used the expanded installer, on localhost.

I will use it with phar once, then I have installed phar before to be able to test the new cmsms version.

Stil, what are the prerequisites, I installed it on another server where I hang in step 6 (white screen) that is a shared hoster, during install only some minor shortcommings ,but the database does not get filled, without any errors, not even in the php-log-files.

Kind regards,
Jan

The bare minimum is on the README-PHAR.TXT that is packed with the phar installer.

These are the checks from the installer

Yes that is a list of checks done by the installer but even if it all passes and it still dies on a step you can try to add ?debug=1 to the URL of the installer...

Q: I Get a white screen, what can I do?
A: A white screen indicates an error of some sort. It can be caused by an incompatible host, or something else. There are three things to try:
1. Rename your .htaccess file(s) out of the way. (Rewrite rules and bad configuration options in the .htaccess file can cause 500 errors).
2. Enable and find your php error logs so that you can find an actual error message to aide in further diagnosis.
3. Add ?debug=1 to the URL for the installer. This will attempt to enable a simple debug mode. This, depending on your host configuration may allow you to see error messages.

Q: I still get a white screen, and I've enabled debug mode... now what?
A: This could indicate that either your installer upload is corrupted OR that your host does not allow you to change debug settings in the standard way. You will probably have to contact your host in order to get at the actual error.

Thanks JoMorg,

the debugmode is what I would need.
I will try when I have the time.

Kind regards,

If using the PHAR version remember to upload it by FTP in binary mode.

Thanks swgreed

but this is for localhost, so just on the server that is beneath my desk. No uploading to do.

Kind regards,
Jan
