Centos 5 / linux install woes.

[mark trent]

Hi all,

I am trying to setup on a test box, and seem to be battling a bit and can't seem to find any linux related documentation. I have all the necessary's setup and have created the "alloc" database and alloc user, and have verified that I can access it from mysqladmin I point my browser at the correct url and it shows the screen verifying the 3 requirements are met, but there is no further "next" button on that page, I f I click "test database connection" on the second tab, it just returns me to a blank screen. Is there something I am missing.

All help is appreciated

Thanks

Mark.

Hi Mark,

Check your webservers error logs. It sounds as though your PHP setup has display_errors turned off.

Also if the webpage appears to be partially rendering, view the html source of the page, and look for the bit where the page stops rendering, it is possible that PHP will have spat an error out at that point.

Cheers,

Thanks Alex,

This seemed to have helped me find the problem, which was some missing package requirements.

Is there a list somewhere that specifies linux package requirements, in order to assist others with their Linux based installs.

Thanks In Advance
