Problems after Install

    Hi All,

    I already posted a support job, but I will try here as well.

    I am using Debian Linux and installed MySQL 3.23.36, PHPLib 7.3, PHP4.0.5 and Apache 1.3.19

    After patching page.inc and editing the createdb.sql file with default values, I was hoping to login and 'Start tracking bugs'.

    However this was not to be.. upon the initial loading of the webpage I get no login block (liblock), just text displaying liblock! Also at this time I apparently have access to the Admin Tool link in the upper right hand side of the page, but the other auth checking correctly detects that I should login.

    I thought that I had somehow botched the install and have repeated my steps several times, with the same result.  I have tried with JPGraph, without JPGRAPH, with MD5 Passwords, without MD5.. but still no success!

    Can anyone please help me out?

      Well, I don't know whether to respond the support request or here, so I'll guess here. :)  My initial guess as to the problem would be something is wrong with the wrap.html template.  Have you made modifications to this file?  The reason I ask is I know phplib's template.inc is very picky -- the BEGIN and END comment lines both need to be on a line by themselves in the html.  If this isn't the case, they don't get replaced correctly and you see the block at all times (sounds like the admin tools link problem).  I've not run into the liblock problem before, but it sounds similar.  So, the first thing to check is the wrap.html file...

      Hi Ben,

      Thanks for the reply.  I have basically done a straight out-of-the-box configuration and install, so in short I haven't modified any file other than include.php or index.php

      Now that you have mentioned wrap.html I will look. I am the only person with shell access to the machine it is running on, but I have definately not  modified wrap.html.  As I said I will have a play around with a *Backup Copy* :) and report any significant findings, like I get it to work!

      Ben,

      I also get the same problem with loginentryarea in newaccount.php.  I should add that I have EMAIL_IS_LOGIN=0.  I am using the debian Packaged version of phplib. I will try a non-packaged version next.

      Ben,

      The problems have gone away after installing the genuine phplib tarball.  I knew I didnt like packages for a good reason :)

      Thanks for your Help and consideration

        Ah, I'm glad it worked out for you.  Yes even with the joy of .debs sometimes using the source is the best way. :)
