Another localhost problem on windows !

[Frank71]

Hello,
first i installed indexu online and it works fine, but on my windows me WAMP it don't work.
I think i did all settings ok, but the install routine can't contact the data base.

Had someone the same problems and did he solve them.
Which WAMP-system do you use and what must i change in which files to install the script on my localhost without using the install routine ?

And when is V3.1 readdy ?

Greetings

Hey,
Im not sure if i completely get your question, but ill try to help. Do you have apache, php, and mysql working? If you don't know make a file called test.php and in it put:

<?
phpinfo();
?>

Put it in your web directory and if php is working then a page will come up. Check for a mysql section on the page to make sure mysql is working. Also check in the PHP CORE section for a variable called register_globals and make sure it is ON. If it is not you can edit your php.ini to turn it on.

Thanks, register_globals is ON and php is working, i'm sure

Hm, it is simple, but it won't work

What shpuld i use fpr the URL on the localhost ?

<Unable to select database>

Please help

Have you created a database for indexu in mysql yet? I believe you have to create one before it can make tables. To make a database in mysql you just open it up and type

create database indexu;

where indexu is the database. Now you should be able to create tables, even if your url is wrong.

As for what to put in for the url, you cannot just make something up. you can use your ip address (e.g. http://216.239.39.101 ) or register a domain name to point to your ip address. you can get a free domain name at dyndns.org.

php is working, mysql also.

In phpmyadmin i greated a new database.

Theme path: INDEXU found: c:/wampp-0.13.1c-small/htdocs/emarketingmix/themes/

Read what i wrote :
> i think on a wamp this is not (phpmyadmin don't ask) important but i type admin / admin

- correct
Back to the roots, äh to the root ->
User Name: root
Password : Nothings, nada, nix, nichts

NEXT problem:

index.php is coming:
Looks good but at the end:

Warning: Failed to write session data (user). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (\wampp-0.13.1c-small\tmp) in Unknown on line 0 ???????????????

This the end.....

Frank

Btw: where can i change the settings for the template (default or classic), if the time will come and the script will work on my localhost.

Btw: if i wrote something terrible, please correct me, i must improve my english. By way of thanks i will teach you german

Hi there, could you explain this in more detail for me? have you successfully set up your database or not? show me the lines you used for the database ...eg.
dbhost
user
dbname
pass

If you want I can have a closer look at the install, I can try to re-install the whole script for you?

Hello,
thank you for your offer !
At the moment it works on my localhost.

Theonlöy error is that at the endof the page:
Warning: Failed to write session data (user). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (\wampp-0.13.1c-small\tmp) in Unknown on line 0

I think here exists a problem with the cookies, yes ?

An email i will write later, then i tested all

PS: Still waiting for V3.1

Hello,
yes the database is running.

Only this error is left:

Warning: Failed to write session data (user). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (\wampp-0.13.1c-small\tmp) in Unknown on line 0

I think you are right actually about the cookies, I did not see the /tmp behind the path when I read the post before. That is most probably the problem but have you set your permissions correctly, because I see 'cannot right data' this usually occurs when the script is unable to write to the file ?
Check you CHMOD to 666 or 777 (just check instructions for the permissions I forget what I used for this) but just make sure you set permissions correctly too

[Frank71]

Hm, how can i change the permissions on a localhost (WAMP on my windoof system)
I thought on offline systems the user has all permissions ?!
Frank

[4webmasters.us]

yes I see, am not fimiliar with this sytem, I just assumed you had to set permissions for user also, you'd know more about it than me, I have never used it... Sorry for the misunderstanding
