installation/nothing happens

[kentaur]

Hi, I wanted to install TypolLight in a local installation first. I have never hed any problem of this sort with other CMSs.

I followed the instructions as follows:

1. I unzipped the package.
2. I copied the content in a folder (htdocs/typolight) of my local server:
http://localhost:8888/typolight/
3. I ran the install script:
http://localhost:8888/typolight/typolight/install.php

Then nothing happened.

Also I spotted that the following instruction in the Users Guide does not apply:

...remove the lock, open file system/config/localconfig.php in a text editor, find the following line and set it to 0.

$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['installCount'] = 0; // This will remove the automatic lock

because that file dose not contain he referred code:

<?php if (!defined('TL_ROOT')) die('You can not access this file directly!');

Thanks for your help.

Localconfig.php won't be populated with data until after the install tool has run.
Have you checked you have Minimum System Requirements? (what php version etc)

[kentaur]

Hi, I tried checking on systems requirements in two ways. irt to look at the php.ini file. It is very extensive and hard to draw conclusions.

Hence I downloaded the typolight-check.php file from the TYPOlight Site.

I ran it like

http://localhost:8888/typolight/typolig ... check.php/

Unfortunately, I got this error message:

Not Found

"The requested URL /typolight/typolight/typolight-check.php/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.59 (Unix) PHP/4.4.4 DAV/2 Server at localhost Port 8888"

It seems the php is not of version 5.2 as requested, but I guess the program should run to verify it anyway.

Plus, in the php.ini file I see the following in the Command section:

...MAMP/conf/php5' '--with SOAP' '...

hence I think it is only in the error message that php4 is shown, while php5 is in fact enabled on the server.

Now, I tried the installation on a live site with a leading hosting company. I ran again the typolight-check.php script. I got this error:

"Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /web/dataweb-systems/dataweb-systems.hu/typolight/typolight/install.php on line 58"

I ran then the installation script: nothing happened.

For your info: I have intalled some 10 different portals on this local server (MAMP on my Mac OSX) and none presented problems of this sort. I wonder how delicate are the requirements of this portal.

Thanks so much.

I try to install Typolight locally with Mamp.

I manage to get it to the FTP screen where I fill in the following:
FTP host: localhost

Then the question:
Relative path to TYPOlight directory (e.g. httpdocs/)
I don't know to which folder..

FTP username: root
FTP password: root

When clickin Save FTP settings I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to a member function fopen() on a non-object in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/typolight/system/libraries/File.php on line 298

Insight appreciated!

I think you got the paths wrong anyway. typolight/typolight/typolight-check.php seems to be one typolight/ too many. The instructions read: "Simply upload the file to the TYPOlight root folder, open it in a web browser and follow the instructions." and typolight/typolight is probably not the root folder if install.php is in the same dir

Besides from that. TL is the easiest I've ever used, so you must be doing something wrong :lol:

What did you expect TL to do? Did you install the sample website? Only then TL works right away. Otherwise you'll need some additional configuration in the admin section.... (create page, page layout and some sample content so you'd see something)
