Tim Dickinson	Thursday 23 December 2004 1:24:47 pm Hi all, I am trying to install eZ 3.5 on my server that runs php as a CGI. I have got 3.4 to run using some patches for the CLI scripts, but during a fresh installation I get the internal server 500 error. The 1st screen I get is finetune, where I just need to change a few things in the .htacces file. Once I've completed that, I press finetune again to check for any more errors, and the error appears. Anyone had the same problms and found a solution? Help??

Tim Dickinson	Friday 24 December 2004 8:23:54 am Just in case anyone has the same problem. I just removed the following from my .htaccess <FilesMatch "."> order allow,deny deny from all </FilesMatch> All then went fine - I hope it doesn't cause too many insecurities :( Cheers and Merry Christmas, Tim http://www.AdBalance.com - Ad network news and reviews http://www.DevPublisher.com - Website publisher guides, tools and news http://www.AudioMelody.com - Make better music
Walter Goschinski	Thursday 30 December 2004 7:28:56 am Hi Tim, I tried to install 3.4.4 and 3.5 on 1und1.com. Installation works fine even the system check told me that ez does not run in CGI mode. But after finishing the wizard I receive Error 500. Do you have an idea what I can do? What are the patches you used? Did you used them also for the 3.5 installation. Thanks in advance Walter
Gilbert Jorgensen	Friday 31 December 2004 12:35:53 am I use powweb.com for my ISP. They run PHP in CGI mode. I had to create a custom php.ini file to put in my htdocs directory to fine tune some of the php parameters. I found that if I installed ezPublish 3.5 with one of the themes such as "corporate" that I would get the internal server 500 error. If I just do the "plain" install and access the admin login first then ezPublish installs just fine. I can then install the various modules once the "plain" system is installed. I intend to just work with the "plain" system and read the documentation before I start adding modules and the .htaccess file.
Takuya Misawa	Friday 18 February 2005 3:58:03 am I'm on Globat and just modified .htaccess. But I also got this 500 internal server error. Here's copy of my .htaccess file. # Copy this file to a new file called .htaccess in your eZ publish root # to make the site more secure in non-virtualhost mode (index.php used in urls). # <FilesMatch "."> order allow,deny deny from all </FilesMatch> <FilesMatch "(index\.php\|\.(gif\|jpe?g\|png\|css\|js\|html)\|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf)$"> order allow,deny allow from all </FilesMatch> # RewriteEngine On # RewriteRule !\.(gif\|jpe?g\|png\|css\|js\|html)\|var(.+)storage.pdf(.+)\.pdf$ index.# php DirectoryIndex index.php php_value magic_quotes_gpc 0 php_value register_globals 0 What (part) is wrong with the configuration? -- Takuya Misawa CEO at OPENUP dot JP
Gaute Brynildsen	Sunday 27 February 2005 3:03:24 pm Hello Gilbert, I use powweb.com as well, I was just wondering if you could help me with what needs to be in php.ini to make it work? I've unpacked the files and I get the first page of ez publish setup open, but when I click next I get "cannot find server message". if you can help, please mail it to nospam:webmaster_at_brynildsen.org (replace _at_) I tried using the default php.ini powweb provides in their tutorial page. No success. Tried to install eZ publish on a windows computer using the setup package, up without problems in no time. Wish the same had applied to powweb setup :-) Maybe the error is because of something else... Thanks. Regards Gaute
Drew Robinson	Wednesday 02 March 2005 1:32:29 am I use 1and1 and I have the same problem. I've looked all over this forum and probably went to about 30 different web sites trying to find a fix with no luck. If anyone knows a definite way around this can they post good documentation please.
Łukasz Serwatka	Wednesday 02 March 2005 2:23:03 am Hi Drew, Have you try without .htaccess file in your eZ root dir? Does your PHP work in CGI mode? Personal website -> http://serwatka.net Blog (about eZ Publish) -> http://serwatka.net/blog
Drew Robinson	Wednesday 02 March 2005 8:13:15 am I just tried without the .htaccess file and it still didn't work. I get the usual "AcceptPathInfo disabled or running in CGI mode" error, seems there is no fix for it.
Gilbert Jorgensen	Wednesday 02 March 2005 8:04:02 pm I will have to check my ezPublish notes. There were a number of issues that I have documented and stored in my knowledgebase. I don't know how exhausive your portal/cms research has been, or how committed you are to ezPublish. I work for Information Technology Services at the State of Utah and pursued ezPublish as a PHP-based portal solution we could roll out for the State agencies. I was very disappointed. It has a real problem just trying to embed HTML in the pages! Yes. I poured over the notes, forums, etc. You have to write your own templates for even real basic HTML commands. Their Admin interface, forums, etc really suck. If that isn't painful enough try integrating a good forum like phpBB2 into it. I went back to a broad comparison, and finally settled on PostNuke. Yes. That suprised me to. But with over 150 apps to choose from, I was blown away once I really got into it. It is very nice! Just one example is the PageSetter module. http://www.elfisk.dk/index.php?module=pagesetter&func=viewpub&tid=10&pid=1&meid=19 Check it out, read the tutorial amd manual, and then show me another portal solution with 150 apps that can do all this. PageSetter is just one app that plugs into PostNuke. By the way, PostNuke has a very nice integration of phpBB2. It's called PNphpBB2 and has additional attachment capabilities somewhat like Invision PowerBoard and vBulletin. Module installation is generally a 15 minute process, and you are off and running. I am very impressed, and I have 27 years experience in the computer field. BTW, with the AutoThemes layout you get AutoBlocks which means you can layout screen functions anywhere on the screen that you want to so it doesn't have a blocky look. Also check out the new book, "PostNuke Content Management" by Kevin Hatch (Sams Publishing). It is a Godsend! I am doing all my work in PostNuke now, and can load up a working copy for you on PowWeb in about 30 minutes at no charge if you are interested.
Gaute Brynildsen	Tuesday 04 October 2005 1:57:26 am Just wanted to post an update. I think what solved it was to go into site.ini for ezpublish and then go down to the area called setupsettings and then remove ;accept_path_info Then you save the site.ini and run setup again. The problem was there because of the hosted environment not showing true paths I think..
