missing buttons after clean installation

[Ingo Belka]

Hello,

I thougt, I did the installation of OpenLimbas successfully, but I wasn't right.

Now, when I wanted to start working with it, some buttons are empty or don't exist. (see image)
There are not any error messages in the log files.

What did I wrong while installing OpenLimbas? Is there a way to restart the installation again?

Kind regards
Ingo

Version: LIMBAS-3.2.1.172

Hi Ingo!

Unfortunately we could not reproduce your error. We assume that it might be an encoding issue. To better reason about your problem, we need more information about your installation: What database did you use (postgres / mysql / ...)? What is your PHP version? What is the database's encoding (UTF8/ISO...)?

Maybe you can debug the problem yourself:
In admin -> Setup -> Sprache (flag symbol) -><yourlanguage></yourlanguage> (or admin -> setup -> language...), check if the language entry with ID 540 exists. This is the text that the button in your image should display.
Does changing the language to english help? This can be done in Profil -> Profil -> Einstellungen -> Sprache (or Profile -> Profile -> Settings -> Language).
Maybe you can recognize a pattern. Are language entries containing ä, ö or ü the only entries missing (like in your example 'Hinzufügen' (meaning 'add'))?

You can always reinstall limbas by going to <yourlimbasinstallation>/dependent/admin/install/</yourlimbasinstallation> again.

Best regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

thank you for your respond.

I installed the system on a virtual machine running Ubuntu 16.04.

The version of PHP is 7.0.22 and I'm using PostgreSQL version 9.5.9. Both are comming with standard installation of Ubuntu.

As encoding of the database I did choose UTF8.

Indeed, searching in table lmb_lang I found not any entry with german umlauts. What was happend while installing OpenLimbas?

Switching to English all functions are available.

How can we determine, where the failure is/was and how can I repair the installation?

Kind regards
Ingo

Hi Ingo,

You can try reinstalling Limbas. Please make sure to follow the docs on UTF8 installations and select UTF8 during installation.

Kind regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

well, I did overlook the docs on UTF8 installations.

So, I think I will start from the very beginning. If I run in trouble, I'll comming back again.

Thank you.

Kind regards
Ingo

Hi,

after all problems at the beginning I have a working OpenLimbas installation (clean version), so far. Thank you for your help.

The only thing not working was, to install the demo database. When I choose to install the demo, the installation starts and stuck after creating table "adressen" while adding values, and the success bar is standing a 0%.

A look into the PostgreSQL databases showes, that no table was created.

But OpenLimbas is working with German localization and that's main point.

Kind regards
Ingo
