CMS Made Simple Forums

i just uploaded all of the files and attempt to access the installation and it tells me that it is already finished. And it should not be finished because i have not even set anything up through the steps. here is a link to show what i am talking about....

http://www.uoradio.com/rwow/install/index.php?sessiontest=1&

I am having the exact same problem with my install.  I had cmsms installed at one point on this server, and I wanted to upgrade.  When I went to do the upgrade I went to install/upgrades.php, and the page was blank and it said "install/index.php?sessiontest=1&" in the url.  The source was blank too.  So I deleted all the files hoping to get a fresh install, uploaded all the files for cmsms 1.1 and how when I go to root.com/install all I get is this: "install/index.php?sessiontest=1&".  Any ideas would be very helpful.  My url is [url=http://http:www.longviewchristian.com]http:www.longviewchristian.com[/url] if it helps.  The cmsms is in the root...so http://www.longviewchristian.com/install is the install directory.  Thanks, Ben

Edit smarty.class.php:
the funktion _get_auto_filename to this:

/*Patch Anfang*/

  /**
    * get a concrete filename for automagically created content
    *
    * @param string $auto_base
    * @param string $auto_source
    * @param string $auto_id
    * @return string
    * @staticvar string|null
    * @staticvar string|null
    * Diese Funktion ist gepatcht um Smarty auf T-Online-Servern zu ermöglichen.
    */
    function _get_auto_filename($auto_base, $auto_source = null, $auto_id = null)
    {
        $_compile_dir_sep =  $this->use_sub_dirs ? DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR : '_';
        $_return = $auto_base . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;

        if(isset($auto_id)) {
            // make auto_id safe for directory names
            $auto_id = str_replace('%7C',$_compile_dir_sep,(urlencode($auto_id)));
            // split into separate directories
            $_return .= $auto_id . $_compile_dir_sep;
        }

        if(isset($auto_source)) {
            // make source name safe for filename
            $_filename = urlencode(basename($auto_source));
            $_crc32 = sprintf('%08X', crc32($auto_source));
            // prepend %% to avoid name conflicts with
            // with $params['auto_id'] names
            $_crc32 = substr($_crc32, 0, 2) . $_compile_dir_sep .
                      substr($_crc32, 0, 3) . $_compile_dir_sep . $_crc32;
            $_return .= '__' . $_crc32 . '__' . $_filename;
        }

        $_return = str_replace('%','_',$_return);
        return $_return;
    }
/*Patch ende*/

Thank you Simon, but unfortunately that did not change anything.  I made the proper edit to the file, and inserted your patch in the proper place, but I am still getting, "install/index.php?sessiontest=1&" when I go to root/install.

Any other suggestions.  Thanks, Ben

is smarty working? you can check that if there are files in tmp/templates_c

Yes, there are files in tmp/template_c

ok, it's not a smarty problem. in my case, smarty could not write to the folder because the server didn't allow characters like ^ and %

my next step would be to insert some echos to test, how far the install is going because it seams like there is an exit somewhere that where the install.php stops.

echo "Here it works";

in my case i still saw the footer (generated in ... seconds...) but your page is complete empty

There did not seem to be a problem in install/index.php.  It seemed to be running.  So I figured it was in install/lib/classes/CMSinstaller.class.php or in smarty.class.php.  I tried a few things in those classes, but I could not narrow down where the problem was.  I think I will save some of my time, and just switch hosting servers.  Hopefully, I won't have this problem on a different hosting server.  Thanks for the help. 

Problem not solved...must be the server.

I think I will give that a shot.  I tried 1.08 and had the same problem, but maybe I need to go further back.  It is a strange situation that I think I would rather just take the easier road out of and switch servers.

Thanks!

Hi Ben!

I have exactly the same probllem as you after upgrading php from 4.xx to 5.2.3 and changed OS. Have you changed anything on your server?

Hello,

everybody with this "installation already finished" problem, please tell more about your hosting environnement :
1)Operating system : Windows ? OSX ? Linux ? Other ?
2)Does another session enabled PHP-SQL software run well at the same place ? Is the PHP sessions requirement met ?
3)Installation method : SSH ? FTP ? If FTP, have you tried with FileZilla ?
4)Browser used : a supported one ? Have your tried with Firefox ?

Then anything else that might help diagnose your problem (URLs, clics, messages...).

Thank you Nicke for reporting so good.

@all : Oups, I've forgotten :

0)Which webserver ? IIS ? Apache ? Lighttpd ? other ?

Pierre M.

IIS...

Today I have downgraded to mysql4 and php 4 just for checking.....but it still doesnt work...

YYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!

Its working, probably some security issue. I have changed OS from W2k3 to the new R2 version and it seems that i cant have the cms files on the c drive I moved it to another drive and it worked perfect right away.
