Fatal error: eZ Publish did not finish its request

Hi All,

The eZ Publoish look very nice and I wanted to try it out,

after unzipped the ez publish file in the web server directory (httpdocs) and try to start installation by request the following url by my browser (http://localhost:85/ezpublish/index.php) i got the first page of installation (

Welcome to eZ Publish Community Project 2011.7

)

after click next i found this error

Fatal error: eZ Publish did not finish its request

The execution of eZ Publish was abruptly ended, debug information can be found in the log files normally placed in var/log/* or by enabling 'DebugOutput'

what is wrong?

-------------------------------------------------------------

my ez publish version (eZ Publish 4)

my environment

XAMPP version 1.7.1:

  +Windows 7

  + Apache 2.2.11
  + MySQL 5.1.33 (Community Server)
  + PHP 5.2.9 + PEAR (Support for PHP 4 has been discontinued)

thanx in advanced

Indeed.

Welcome to the eZ Community Ahmed.

One common pitfall is a too short max_execution_time value in the PHP configuration. Set it to 120 for eZ Publish, or even 180 to be on the super safe side.

Let us know how things go,
Cheers,

The error log you showed says that the ini files you have on the webserver have a creation date set in the future (according to the webserver). This poses a serious problem to eZ Publish caching mechanism.

What is probably happening is that

- either you have installed ezpublish on the server then changed the server clock to a past value

- or you are using an ftp client to upload ezpublish files that sets modification date on the server of the uploaded files to the same modification date they had on the client - and the client clock is in the future compared to the server

In any case, you should always have clocks set to proper time, in both servers and development machines. Please set up the sntp service on unix or windows time service to achieve this.

You can then use the touch command to change modification timestamp of ezpublish files on the server

ps: if on windows, it is also a good idea to prevent any antivirus to scan the ezpublish folders. This does generally make eZ very slow, as a lot of cache files are created by the system, and I would not exclude that it could have an impact in extreme cases on timestamp mismatch...
