epesi BIM Installation a MESS!

charliep

When I installed epesi BIM I got a crazy mess. None of the icons are where they are supposed to be. Everything is mixed up.

I know the problem is not my browser because I am able to open the demo epesi BIM without difficulty. Help!

Also, where does one find documentation about how to import records into epesi BIM? Is there a module to import records together with documents (or document file names and then upload the documents) so that everything is automated?

Thanks!

Hi,
Can you provide more info about your setup?
- Is this Windows or Linux?
- Is this your own or hosted server?
- Is this the latest version from SourceForge? (I just downloaded it and installed without any problems)
It is possible that path needs to be adjusted manually.

For import - Go to Admin -> Modules Administration and select Premium: Import
Once installed it is available under Menu -> Import (you have to be an admin)

The import module that we provide for free allows import of Contacts and Companies.

We do import other data - like notes, documents - but this depends on the source of data and has to be customized. But YES - import can be automated. Please e-mail me or PM regarding your particular setup.

When I began the installation I received the following errors:

Options -Indexes
php_value memory_limit "64M"
php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off
#SecFilterEngine Off

Could this possibly be causing the problems I am facing? So I added an .htaccess with those commands and now I am receiving the message:

Invalid command \'php_value\', perhaps mis-spelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration

When it came time to enter the company information I had to go eat dinner. When I came back I entered the company information but then epesi BIM gave me a time-out error message and the installation stopped. Is it possible this caused the errors?

I am running on a hosted Linux server in a subdomain, so I imagine the paths should be adjusted manually. I also didn't enter the subdomain for epesi BIM when I listed the company information (which didn't take) - I listed the www domain, but I'm not sure if this is the cause since the company information timed out.

Thanks!

Charlie,
You should not proceed with the installation if you are getting errors. They need to be corrected first.
Clean the database and entire data directory and start from scratch.

epesi runs fine from any subdomain or virtual directory. It tries to guess the path and in majority of cases the setup process adjusts all parameters automatically and they are correct. In some "weird" cases the path needs to be setup manually in config.php - see the following topic:

Hi,
There are many possibilities....:
- your server doesn't support php_value, so epesi cannot set with htaccess memory_limit variable - you should set it yourself for epesi for at least 32MB (64MB is recommended)
- you have set gpc_magic_quotes to ON
- there are some other errors - please take a look to error_log

In my opinion the problem is with template and the reason of messed installation of template is to small memory_limit.

One more thing, current testing debian with php-5.3 has many bugs ending with segmentation fault of php. Unfortunatly this bugs also occurs in epesi scripts, so if you are running testing debian please get older php from stable.
