Using the Build the Site Tutorial - Something Not Working for My Site, But What?

Tuesday 02 December 2003 11:07:50 pm

Hello,

I'm brand new to this, so sorry if this post is in the wrong place. But, right now, I have absolutely no idea what is wrong.

I successfully installed everything for 3.2 and began to work through the Building a Simple Site tutorial which you so kindly provided.

Everything was going fine up until I tested how the site looked after I uploaded the first pagelayout.tpl file. When I attempted to view it, I did indeed get the "Hello World" text. Unfortunately, I also got a HUGE mass of errors right below it (probably listed due to the DeBug mode settings). I have absolutely no idea what any of these errors are or how to fix them (it seems like perhaps some file permissions, among other things, need to be changed).

You can see all the errors at:

(I substited tgd for tcsm - which are the abbreviations for my site).

I have no idea what is going on - so any help would be greatly appreciated! It's probably something simple but I don't know what it is!

Thanks

Jim

Edited: Also get the same thing happening at http://www.thegreatdepression.info/ez3_2/index.php if this helps any.

Hi Karsten,

Thanks for replying with your suggestion. I ran the two commands you suggested. The first command worked well enough - I didn't get any errors when I ran it. When I ran the second command (the modfix one) I got a whole list of errors and messages. I then went to the links I posted in the first message and still got a whole pile of error messages.

However, it did seem to get rid of all the permission problem error messages I was getting before. What I'm seeing now is a huge list of various "warning" messages of one thing or another, plus a few error messages about not being able to create certain types of files. Most of these error/warning messages seem to relate to translation files, if this helps any.

Any idea how I can fix this or even what is causing this?

Thank you for all your help.

Jim

Thank you Karsten!

Yes, that's exactly what I did - used english (US) instead of english (GB). My next question, then, is how do I go back to the GB version and get rid of the US version?

I went to setup in the admin panel and then translations. I added in english-gb. However, it won't let me delete the english-us version. I check the box and then hit the little trash can to delete it, but I can't seem to get rid of it. Because the english-us is still loaded, I'm still getting all those pesky error messages.

Do you know how to reset things back to english (gb).

Thanks for all your great help.
