Session expired, restarting epesi problem

piashaw

Am trying to install the latest version of Epesi on my computer to test.

Computer is Win7 64bit
MySQL is mysql-essential-5.1.53-winx64 (64bit)
PHP is php-5.3.4-Win32-VC9-x86.msi (32 bit version)
Using IIS 7.5.7600.16385

The Session expired, restarting epesi comes just after the database was created. The database has been created as I checked this using MySQL workbench.

However before I even got to that point i had to define EPESI_DIR in the config.php

Path on PC is c:/inetpub/wwwroot/epesi
can access it in browser with localhost/epesi or 127.0.0.1/epesi

I deleted the data subdiretcory and recreated it with correct permissions but to no avail. Also deleted the database etc to ensure a clean start.

Thanks

Peter,
Windows sometimes plays tricks. On my Windows server (Win 2003) for example setting permissions to data folder to be read/write for user IUSR_Computername - which should work (would you think?) does not, and the only way I could run code was to enable read/write (actually full) for Everyone Group. Is it a security risk? I am sure. But what can I do?
But to get there you can help yourself with the following:
- php error log
- Windows Logs - check system and applications logs for entries like IIS went down or similar. You need to find out what is causing the problem: the OS (windows - permissions), IIS configuration or PHP?
- enable and analyze IIS logs.
Please find out and post here your results. I will be glad to hear the solution or try to help finding out what is the problem.

In UniServer configuration I had to disable accelerator for php files, because they just don't work.

Thanks for your reply.

Windows and php logs empty. The IIS log shows the following, which I don't understand!

Not certain if i have uniserver or not to turn off accelerated. I do have fastCGI set.

Sorry I'm somewhat of a novice at this!!

Hi,
Take a look:
http://forum.epesibim.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=239&p=895&hilit=epesi_dir#p895

Probably you are setting invalid EPESI_DIR, it should be something like "/epesi" if epesi is on http server directory alias "http://www.something.com/epesi". If "epesi" directory is real directory under root of www there is no need of setting this variable.
