Second Page of install.php blank

[Anonymous]

Hi All,
I've just been playing with the demo of CMS and it seems like it fits my needs just right!

I downloaded it and have been trying to install it onto my server. PHP 4.3.10, Apache 1.3.33 on a FC3 system. Step 1 works fine, however whenever I hit continue and go to install.php?step=2, I get this from the logs:

Code: Select all

[Fri Feb  4 18:30:49 2005] [notice] child pid 10548 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Fri Feb  4 18:30:49 2005] [notice] child pid 10555 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)

Any ideas?
Thanks!

I found the problem. Turned out I had a .htaccess file in the parent directory. This line was the problem:

Code: Select all

php_value session.save_handler    user

If this is changed to:

Code: Select all

php_value session.save_handler    file

or even just removing the line will fix the problem. Fix:
Add this .htaccess file to the directory that has CMS installed:

Code: Select all

php_value session.save_handler    file

All fixed!
Hope this helps someone else...

Wow! That's an obscure problem... and fix. Thanks for finding that!

I had the same problem. I wouldn't have found the answer. But thanks to you, within minutes of running of into it, I was around it.

Thanks again.

I have this problem too but my htaccess.txt is in the Doc directory, it is just a standard installation use FTP. Where did I go wrong?

[peter]

OK. So the htaccess file that comes with CMSMS is inactive. That's good since there is a .htaccess in the root.
Nevertheless the second stays blank ... Can it be caused by the database connection?

[peter]

My username and password, I guess. But even disabling this file doesn't help.

Problem solved. For some reason version.php was not uploaded. That caused the blank 2nd page.
