Installation Questions

Hello,

I am trying to install 3.3-4 on a new Linux system. It is running apache 1.3.28, php 4.3.3 and mysql version 4. This might be a simple question but I cannot seem to find the answer. When i try to run the index.php file for setup the system asks me if I want to download the file. This occurs with all of the .php files within eZpublish.

So far, I only have one .php file that I have tried to see if it would work, that is phpinfo.php.

If someone could tell me if there is something I need to set at the httpd.conf file that would be great help.

Thanks,

-Alan

Alex,

Thanks for the reply. I saw there was no line in my httpd.conf and added it. I have tried with a clean install with no luck still. Now when I put the URL in I get the index.php file open in notepad file.

I am sure it is a problem with the configuration of Apache and possibly PHP that is installed on my Linux station, but I am not having much luck trying to find the difference yet.

Added: I waited several hours and I finally got the install to work! I have installed eZpublish several times on different systems and I have always gotten different results. This has helped because I know why I get certain messages (database connection problems, etc). But this is the newest message I have not seen:

Fatal error: eZ publish did not finish it's request

The execution of eZ publish was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.

I need to edit the files so the debug shows up, but as I said, never a dull moment with installing eZpublish! :)

That helped. Last night I bumped the memory (since I have access to it now) to 16M. On a side note, do you know what this would do to my performance on this web server? How many sites can I run with this setting set at this level? The one hosting place I had would not bump up the number from 8 to 12.
