CMS Made Simple Forums

Hey people,

I tried to install the latest cms, 1.7. However I ran in some trouble.

My hosting does not allow filesizes larger than 500k, but one file is larger than 500k (modules/printing/tcpdf/fonts/freeserif.z ) which is 1 mb

are there any solutions for this?

I tried to run the installation without this file, but I got also quite a bit of php problems (i have php version 5.2.5 on this hosting )

Any chances it's going to work? Until now I was really happy with this hosting because it was really fast with quite a bit of futures.

Please let me know.

Well, it looks like that font file is only needed if you intend to use the PDF generation feature for page printing. I would say it's safe to leave out.

As for your PHP version, in 1.7, PHP support has been shifted along and support for PHP 4.x.x has been dropped completely. Your version of PHP should be fine, but it does say this in the changelog for CMSMS 1.7:

Users that are using many of the newer modules that take advantage of PHP 5’s OOP features
may experience strange problems when using earlier versions of PHP 5.2. It is therefore
recommended that your PHP version be updated frequently.

It's probably not the cause, but without knowing what "php problems" you're experiencing exactly, I'm not sure what to suggest besides trying CMSMS 1.6.7 instead.

hey thanks for your reply

sadly engough I've no idea what php problem it where

I went to mysite.com/index.php for the installation, and then I got a full list with something like

php problem line 57

php problem line 89

bla bla

and then a note that the installation could not run

any idea what it is?

Installation is mysite.com/install not /index.php...

I know the installation directory .

But still thanx.

Switch hosting for our sanity's sake.

thanx for your kind reply and understanding
