1.2 Install Errors

pmaxx

I keep getting "invalid json string" errors at step 6 (I think) of the installation. The error message during installation includes a list of the US States definitions ('MI'=>"Michigan", etc.). I cannot copy the text of that message. The installation does complete, and there is nothing in the "State" dropdown in companies and contacts. I get the following error message at the bottom of the page, (and at the top, it covers up the top menu bar) when I login after installation:

Type: 2
Message: Unknown: 1 result set(s) not freed. Use mysql_free_result to free result sets which were requested using mysql_query()
File: Unknown
Line=0
error backtrace:
[PHP core called function]
function called: handle_epesi_error(2, "Unknown: 1 result set(s) not freed. Use mysql_free_result to free result sets which were requested using mysql_query()", "Unknown", 0, Array (#43))

This is on 64 bit FreeBSD 7.2, MySQL 5.0, PHP 5.3, and Apache 22.

I tried to install on Postgres 9.0, but got a lot of errors (I don't think I ever got to step 6) even after changing the bytea settings (as shown in another post here).

Thanks in advance,
Paul

BTW, I also edited the php.ini file by adding "mysql.trace_mode = Off"
That didn't make any difference though.

I did another install attempt, the error happens when I click OK at step 5 (url index.php#5) The exact text it "badly formed json string..."

I also added "mysql.trace_mode = Off" to the .htaccess file, which caused an internal server error, so I guess I'm not running php as a modulw under apache...

Hello,

Please make sure that trace_mode is disabled. To check that, simply display php info.
If you don't have such option in your control panel, create phpinfo.php file in epesi root and put in there the following:

<?php

phpinfo();

?>

Then, execute that script using http:
http://yourepesipath/phpinfo.php

Once displayed, look for (Ctrl+F) trace_mode. Both values should be Off. If they aren't, do the following:
1. Make sure you edit correct php.ini. To check which php.ini is loaded, check "Loaded Configuration File" value in phpinfo (close to the top of the page).
2. Don't add new lines in php.ini. It's better to find the parameter (mysql.trace_mode), uncomment it if necessary (remove ; char) and edit the value.
3. Restart your http server. Changes in php.ini only take effect after you restart your server.

With all that done, refresh phpinfo page and check trace_mode value. If it's Off, the installation should go without issues.

Kind regards,
Arek

PS Feel free to post the errors you're gettting with postgresql. On our testing machines postgresql installation went without any problems (PG9, epesi 1.2) and we welcome all bug reports.
