Problem after first installation step

Hi!

I`m new at Ez, and have a little problem during installation..
I`m running Win2003 server, with apache 1.3.34, PHP 4.4.2 as apache module, and MySQL server is version 5.0.19.

The startup page shows up just fine, but when I\m pressing "next" button (or "finetune" button), I`m getting the standard page "The page cannot be displayed".
I have enabled mod_rewrite in httpd.conf, is there anything else to enable?
Nothing is displayed in apache's error log (other than some stylesheets is missing), and the accesslog contains this:

127.0.0.1 - - [21/Mar/2006:21:24:05 +0100] "GET /index.php HTTP/1.1" 200 6967
127.0.0.1 - - [21/Mar/2006:21:24:05 +0100] "GET /design/admin/stylesheets/admin.css HTTP/1.1" 404 311
127.0.0.1 - - [21/Mar/2006:21:24:05 +0100] "GET /design/admin/stylesheets/debug.css HTTP/1.1" 404 311
127.0.0.1 - - [21/Mar/2006:21:24:17 +0100] "GET /index.php/eZ_accept_path_info_test HTTP/1.0" 200 6948
127.0.0.1 - - [21/Mar/2006:21:24:21 +0100] "GET /index.php/eZ_accept_path_info_test HTTP/1.0" 200 6948

Or is it something else causing this error?
I have tried to install Ez on IIS 6.0 also, with the same problem.

I also wonder if somebody have tried Ez under PHP safe mode? Is this working?

Hoping somebody can help me out!

Hi again!

I have checked the log in eZ's VAR directory, and all i can fing (cleared the log, then tried to open the page) is:

[ Mar 22 2006 23:26:06 ] [127.0.0.1] Connection error: Couldn't connect to database. Please try again later or inform the system administrator.

I can't really figure this out. Why does it tell me that I couldn't connect to database?
I have tried the bundeled installation before, and I remember that I configured my database connection in step two.

I've had this problem, Apache was crashing. I could not track down the cause of this error, but changing the apache version from 2.0.55 to 2.0.54 did fix it.

Hi Vidar,

eZ publish works fine on Apache 1.3.34 on Windows platform. There was bug in PHP 4.4.2 for Windows which affects fopen function so eZ publish installation caused problems. Try upgrade your PHP to latest version snaps.php.net or try with 4.4.1.

Hi everyone!

Thank you very much for all replies!
The solution for me was to install PHP 4.4.1 on my Windows machine, because I couldn't
get eZ to run with PHP 4.4.2. (I tried to install the latest PHP 4.4.2 as Lukasz said, with no luck).
