Install bug: Forum Cookie Prefix(FIXED)

spadbuoy · July 2nd, 2005, 12:33 PM

After downloading Photopost Classifieds 2.4 and following the upgrade instructions I experienced problems (see Script not called correctly problem) and decided to do a fresh install.

Every time I install Photopost Classifieds, the install.php script runs without error but I can't log into Classifieds. This morning, after examining the 'settings' table, I discovered that when I entered 'bb' for my cookie prefix during one of the installation steps, it was incorrectly saved as the "Enable Paypal Payment?" setting instead of the "Forum Cookie Prefix" setting.

Also, in the Photopost Classifieds installation menu in the Members area, it states:

"All permissions for .php and .sql files should be set to chmod 644, except for config-inc.php which needs to be 777 for the install script to update it."

Shouldn't config-int.php also be 777 for the same reason?

After reading your post, I looked into my settings table. In my case, everything looks good. The bb prefix is where it should be. I think there is may be a problem with the install script. I used the upgrade script and I kept the old "config" files (just updated version number).
Anyway there is still a problem in 2.4 because we both have the problem "script not called correctly".I think they will figure out why in the next hours (or days).
For info, I set both "config" files to 777.

Yes, config-int.php should also be 777.

line 900 of the install.php file should have id182 instead of id172; which I will fix.

Michael,

Did someone forget to add the login.php file to the program? Cause I cannot find it anywhere and when I click on the login tab i get the "page cannot be displayed" error.

Also I cannot login to the admin control panel for classifieds and this is right after a fresh install regardless of it being integraded with vbulletin, sharing the same data base or a database by itself.

I have classifieds version 2.4.

I have tried all variouse ways and I cannot get this program to work for me!

Please help me.

Doug
