Need Testing And Feedback On New Installer ASAP

Raven · Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2005 12:38 pm

The release of v2.0.0. has been delayed as I am writing my own table loader. I want one that works on both windows and *nix. I have the skeleton working, meaning the GUI is just a text mode responder. Please download this file

and test it. Be aware that this WILL DELETE all tables if they exist, so make sure that this is in a test database. Your folder structure should look like this:
root nuke folder
---- config.php
---- INSTALLATION
-------- installSQL.php
-------- sql
------------ (16 sql files)

[b]What you will need to do, to test with this w/o actually using a phpnuke setup, is
- Create an empty test database
- Create a config.php file just as in regular phpnuke but it only needs the MySQL parameters in it. Use whatever values you want.
-----> <?php
-----> $dbhost = "localhost";
-----> $dbuname = "rn76v2";
-----> $dbpass = "rn76v2";
-----> $dbname = "rn76v2";
-----> ?>

- Run this url pointing to your domain:

Thanks! Did you try it both locally and on your production box?

nope just went and created database on my host and then setup files on ftp site. Didn't try it locally on computer.

Would you please? I need to verify that it installs under win32 and that it doesn't time out. Thanks!

Raven, just ran it through my RavenNuke76 test instance on a WAMP platform and the installation proved successful, but looks like you may still be referencing fisubice theme?? I thought you were going to remove that. Here is the error messages that I got when trying to access the site afterwards:

Code:

After changing in the DB to DeepBlue I got the intended welcome message. A suggestion, though, since you are making this so easy, why not prompt the installer for the basic key information needed to setup the appropriate user/password, etc, per their liking up-front. Since this is supposed to help the newbies out there, I would avoid having them use phpMyAdmin until they are a little more "seasoned"? JMO

Sorry for the multiple posts... I am in a rush because I am supposed to be somewhere with now but wanted to give you my input ASAP giving your timing on this...

You also do not tell the installer (person) what the default admin id and password is, nor do you mention that if they are using phpMyAdmin (bad choice IMO) that they also need to change the password and select MD5.... see why I think it not wise to make them use phpMyAdmin?

Anyways, sorry for the rush.... I'm outa here for about an hour or so.

Regards always!

fisubice will be added back because it's W3C compliant and I removed my personal code. The testing was not meant to be carried any further than just the installer Wink

since you don't have the needed files yet. Thanks!

Worked perfectly on my web host.

Didn't try on local because I deleted it. It kept locking up and I would have to restart my computer to get it working again.

montego · Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2005 5:20 pm

Raven, what about my other two posts? Wasn't sure if you may have missed those since I jumped in with three in a row. (sorry about that)

BTW, what is wrong. This forum shows my post as Fri Dec 30, 2005 9:04 am.

Is this local time of the webserver? My computer shows it is still Thur Dec 29 3:54pm

montego · Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2005 5:54 pm

Ezekiel, that is because within your profile, you do not have your timezone set properly. I believe it defaults to GMT+10 or something like that. You may change that at any time!

duh.

Raven · Posted: Thu Dec 29, 2005 8:39 pm

Montego,

All this is, is a test to see that the installer works - nothing more. ID's and passwords will be supplied when the distro is released.

This is very important. What was locking up? The local pc test is what I need to know about. What operating system? What web server? What version of PHP, MySQL, Apache, etc?
