Hosting compatibility: blank box during installation

jeffl

Hi,

I am trying to install epesi for the first time:

Windows 7
Apache 2.2.21
MySQL 5.5.19
PHP 5.2.17

I used easyinstall (dated 2010-10-12 at sourceforge) and was presented with messages to add curl and gd2 extensions for PHP, which I duly did.

I was presented with the initial license page and I accepted the license agreement.

The next page shows a box headed "Welcome to epesi framework setup!" and "Hosting compatibility:" but the box is empty (please see attachment).

I looked for error logs but could see no problem.

I would appreciate any help :-)

Thanks

Hello and welcome,

It's an unusual issue I believe, first time to hear about it.

This check is nothing really major, it's testing the .htaccess compatibility. It's not necessary for testing installation and for production installation you can easily disable indexes by yourself.
To really fix the issue we'd need to do some debugging there, but I don't want to dull you with that.
To get you going, all you need to do is to go to
http://localhost/setup.php?license=1&htaccess=1
And this should do the trick. If you happen to encounter any other issues let us know.

Seeing as you're running on Win7, I guess you're using some http server package, like xampp or UniServer? Can you tell us what version you've installed? Did you make any configuration changes after installing it?

Kind regards,
Arek

Hi Arek,

Thanks for your fast response. Using http://localhost/setup.php?license=1&htaccess=1 worked wonderfully (I was prompted to add the MySQL extension for PHP but no other issues).

I did not use a server package. I installed each component separately. Apart from adding PHP extensions (adding lines to php.ini and adding DLLs to C:\Program Files (x86)\PHP\ext\ and C:\Windows\SysWOW64\), the only other thing I did was to rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess

Thanks again for your help, Arek :-)
