I try to install new release of ezpublish (3.8rc1) but after I choice the default languages ez ask me to insert the "Site package" and I must upload a file "Upload package", what is it?
I never upload a site package before.

normally a few "site packages" should be provided by the eZ publish installer. there are few different "site packages" like gallery-, news-, forum-, intranetsite presented and you can choose the "default" site setup.

if you have installed eZ publish before you should have seen it before...
it works for me with 3.8rc1

i would like to add questions related to the installation of 3.8rc1 -

where is the plain site package? it's not available anymore - but will it be available again??

while the installation of 3.7.x it was possible to choose all the different features of the different site packages after the selection of a package and to add all functionality to one package this way.
will this feature be implemented again?

how can i install the different features of the different site packages after the first installation?

is it possible to download the different site packages from the net and install them later, after the first installation?
whre can i find them?

if i would like to install many (1000&1) plain sites as a default multisite installation with only one eZ publish 3.8 installation, what's the best way to achive this?

all the best

i've found a detailed description of the new installation procedure here:

http://ez.no/community/developer/specs/packages_system_and_setup_wizard

but the questions still remain. are the features mentioned at this page are implemented already?
where can i find the packages and how can i run the wizard a few times to modify an existent installation?

cheers.

I have unpack the file ezpublish-3.8.0rc1-gpl.zip under a new folder of my webserver, next I open a browser and input this url: "http://localhost:8080/newezpublish" and the installation screen appear.
I click next, I choice Outgoing E-mail settings, I click next, I choice the database setting, I click next, I choice a default language, I click next and I receive this message:

I never receive before any type of this message when I install ez 3.6, 3.7 etc.

Hi Daniele,

Setup wizard read packages from ez_systems external repository. Try enable debug output in site.ini for installation time. Maybe your firewall block the access to the Internet so script can't connect to repository and download packages.

2Johannes:

The main idea of remaking setup wizard is to separate standard packages from eZ publish, so they will be released separately and can be updated automatically from this setup wizard.

Also soon there will be an online package repository on ez.no, where you can download new versions manually, just like you download eZ publish.

There is no more step that allows you to choose additional packages in setup wizard, but you can install them from admin interface later.

Concerning setup of multiple sites - it all remains the same, nothing has been changed.

Yes my problem is because my development machine is inside a lan behind firewall and proxy.

I enabled ez debug and I can see this error and warning:

daniele,

I think you can manualy donwload the required files from ez.no and then upload then into ezpublish instalation.

After some investigations, I have found where ezPublish downloads the sites definitions.

Until we dont have a official page to download pre-made sites, styles and class definitions from ez.no site, there is my temporary solution. The files needed are the .ezpkg files.

site packages

<package name="news_site" version="1.0-3" type="site" summary="News site" description="With the eZ publish open source News site solution you can publish articles and news and communicate with your readers in a online newspaper containing the features you would normally need." url="http://packages.ezpublish.no/v3/news_site/news_site.ezpkg" thumbnail_url="http://packages.ezpublish.no/v3/news_site/news_site.png"/>

Hi

The main problem you have is lack of http support in the PHP filehandler. ( See: http://php.net/manual/en/function.fopen.php )

We'll improve the package download support as soon as possible, by adding support for direct socket usage.
