install problems

Monday 15 September 2003 4:27:57 pm

After giving up on 3.1 because no one could help me sort out the problem I went to 3.2 beta, it all installed fine. But when I went to view the user side it gave me the admin login, and the same when i went to view the admin side.

It also produced the following error
kernel (50)
No database connection could be made, the system might not behave properly.

and then when i log in it brings up page cannot be found.

I am getting really stressed with this and would like someone to help me.

Sorry about my last post i was a bit er stressed :)

Hmm thats strange, I visited my set up again today and after loggin in it worked!!!

My next question though is how to I view what the browser sees? or change it so that the browser can see the page if i goto
http://www.sankesolutions.co.uk/lifeboat/index.php
then I get teh admin interface if i append index.php with
Admin i get the admin interface and if i use user i also get the admin interface.
I want it to goto the browser/users side of the site when i type in index.php where should i look and what for?

Sorry Paul I dont understand.

I tried http://sankesolutions/lifeboat/index.php/user and all i get is page cannot be found.

If i use www.sankesolutions.co.uk/lifeboat/index.php
it goes directly to admin login. Once logged in i am presented with
http://www.sankesolutions.co.uk/lifeboat/index.php/news/
and the admin interface.
If i change news to user I get the ezpublish plain design but its like a mix between admin as my root folder is still showing.

Any ideas?

Just had a peek. You appear to have some missing data in your database to let the "demo" work. The user site is OK (it doesn't do much) and the admin too.

So take a look at the docs on how to create siteaccess and sitedesigns. You need to put your config details NOT in the settings/site.ini but in settings/override/site.ini.append.php and settings/<your new siteaccess>

Also your templates are not there (only the admin by default), because you did not define the right design directives in the settings/<your new siteaccess> (they are missing altogether).

But first change your admin password!

hth a bit

I'm getting the same "kernel (50)
No database connection could be made, the system might not behave properly. "

I can't even log in! How do you change the site.ini file, or is there another fix?

thanks,

John

The webbased setup seams to run as long as I don't choose any other languages as the default.
I configured a new, ok - old :-), server with a fresh SuSE 8.2pro install. Apache 1.3.27, mysql 3.23.55, php 4.3.3 are running fine.
After several tries to adapt site.ini to my MySQL settings I configured MySQL according to the original site.ini, I.E. user root without a password on localhost.
Apache is configured to run a virtual host as in the example, except for the hostname which is name based.

After the setup I'm presented with links to the user and admin site, the first time I click on one I get to the login screen.
When I try to log in, the conection is terminated and won't come back. Even access to the default DocumentRoot via http://ipnumber or http://realhostname is impossible.

There is nothing in the apache logs except a missing debug.css

Any hints?
