We also have (or rather, had) what seems the widespread frustration here of the Install getting us to the opening screen and then no further. We have studied the very hard work of others on these forums to nail this one. Now we think we can share a solution that makes the difference. It would now seem to allow EZ Publish to be run with any hoster.
It's courtesy of our tremendous hosters, Internet Connection, in Maryland USA, and Geo Carncross, their talented chief programmer. (Dear EZP Inc & Community: if they do have it right, please give them due credit?)
So we had the problem. Our developer tried various things, and then he read here that it might be impossible to run EZ Publish with those hosters (a large majority we would think) that are offering PHP as a CGI with suEXEC. So he referred the possibility (or the impossibility) to Internet Connection - and within two hours, Geo Carncross had our problem solved, the installation rock-solid, and this explanation: *** This is my first experience with this software.... [Yes] on our systems, PHP is installed as a CGI [and] SuEXEC is installed....
There is a bug in ezPublish, in lib/ezutils/classes/ezsys.php line 768 which references (originally) $phpSelf but should use $requestURI - this is because $phpSelf will _OFTEN_ contain how PHP and this page can be called again, but it won't contain the path information. I have fixed this bug for you, but you should consider submitting it to the makers of ezPublish as other people certainly are having this problem. *** We are now sure hoping this helps the community - and EZP Inc of course, who have come up with such an impressive product.
