Hi Ditlev!

Would be great with a little more info..

- IIS or apache?
- do you use Virtual Hosts?
- if so, have it been correctly configured?

Well it's not my server so I'm not quite sure :S But I'm sure it uses apache on slackware. Not sure if it uses virtual hosts

I'm hosting on a (VPS) and have installed EzP v3.5.2 on:
Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6b DAV/1.0.3 PHP/4.3.10 mod_perl/1.28
Database: MySQL

After the installation, when I click on either the Admin or User site link on the FINISHED page nothing is displayed on those pages.

Could you suggest a reason/solution.

Sound like PHP is not working properly.
You did not mention which version of PHP module you have installed, can you confirm which version of the module (mod_php) that is installed, and that apache is using the module. Is other PHP pages working? make a simple info.php, like:

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

If PHP is installed and working, post the lines from:
apache-access.log
apache-error.log
(called httpd-access/error.log on some distribuitions)

In there the problem should be..

I originally began trying to study and learn PHP on my own - so I have installed EasyPHP1-7 and all of the files. With that set up I am able to run my scripts. THEN I found eZPublisher and took the slacker's road and downloaded Exponential-3.5.2_Installer.exe utilizing all of the most recent files as of May 2, 2005. I was able to unbundle and install the files. When I go to view the index.php at local host it times out. I am currently only using my own PC and have not uploaded the files to an outside webhost. I am using Apache and SQL. WHAT am I doing wrong on this installation bundle? Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The version of PHP installed is 4.3.10
Other PHP page is working - http://www.mahaiconysportsclub.com/info.php

Access Log:[nothing]

Error Log:[Wed May 4 08:08:27 2005] [error] [client 65.13.43.4] client denied by server configuration: /home/webadmin/mahaiconysportsclub.com/html/plain

In looking at the Error Log, what permission changes and where do I need to make them?

Hi,

You probably need to edit httpd.conf which is probably in /etc/httpd/ or /usr/local/apache/conf/

Check the allow / deny directives for that directory

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/auth.html#access

Good luck

I don't think it's the allow/deny directives, this is part of the httpd.conf:

<VirtualHost 65.19.177.95>
<Directory /home/webadmin/mahaiconysportsclub.com/html>

AllowOverride All

Hi Neil

Is there a .htaccess file in that directory that may be overriding the httpd.conf?

(There is a .htacces_root in the default EZ install but that won't take effect unless you rename it to .htaccess).

Could you confirm that your webserver is correctly configured to return plain old HTML files?
