Exponential 4.0 does not finish in final step

Thursday 13 December 2007 1:48:29 pm

During first step I get this issues:

1. My service providor does not let me change this due to security issues. This did not cause a problem for me in the 3.10 version. So I assume that the poblem is not here.
2. Will this cause me installation to fail? I am trying to edit the .htacess file without any luck so far. ( I use Apache Apache/1.3.39)

Issues
1. allow_url_fopen ini setting is disabled
You need to alter your PHP settings, and enable the 'allow_url_fopen' setting in your php.ini file.
allow_url_fopen = On
Remember to restart your web server afterwards.
Note : Failure here will also cause failure to the accept_path_info test.
Ignore this test

2. AcceptPathInfo disabled or running in CGI mode
You need to enable AcceptPathInfo in your Apache config file, if you're using apache 2.x. If you're running apache 1.3, Exponential will not run in CGI mode.
Check the Apache documentation, or enter the following into your httpd.conf file.
AcceptPathInfo On
Remember to restart your web server afterwards.
Ignore this test

When I come to final step, This log occurs: But when i press next, (after a few sec) the browser window is blank.
And no logs in var/log/error.txt

If you put your rewrite rules in the apache config file instead of using .htaccess, copy the new rewrite rules in .htaccess_root to your apache config file. Otherwise, at various points in the install process you'll end up with a blank page. At least this was happening to me on 3.10 installations.

I had a very similar issues perviously (see http://ez.no/developer/forum/install_configuration/ez_4_0_0alpha2_setup_wizard_jumps_back_to_first_page ). In my case it was the Suhosin php-extension that was preventing the ez-installer to download the site-packages. What Suhosin does, among other things, is to disable url_fopen. So I think this is the reason in your case too, since your hosting provider has disabled allow_url_fopen. The eZ 4 installer seems to behave different than in previous versions.

So I think the only solution is to either aks you provider to allow url_fopen temporarly during installation or to manually install ez and import the plain-site (or whatever package) manually.

Wolfgang, I think you wont become happy with ez (any version) and the limitations by your hosting provider..
