More specifically even, in the HowToInstall Manual within the download.

I have a problem with the php.ini and the raven nuke:

These settings are recommended for PHP in order to ensure full compatibility with RavenNuke™. However, RavenNuke™ should still operate if your settings do not quite match the recommended.
Recommended settingsDirective Recommended Actual

Safe Mode OFF OFF
Display Errors ON ON
File Uploads ON ON
Magic Quotes GPC ON OFF <----
Magic Quotes Runtime OFF OFF
Register Globals OFF OFF
Output Buffering ON OFF <----
Session auto start OFF OFF

I have copy the ini in the rootfolder of the raven but the installer dont use it. In the cutom ini the are Output Buffering & Magic Quotes GPC ON. The ravennuke version is the 2.30.02. Did need the 2.4.x the same configuration? I cant change the original php.ini.

2.4 will be happiest with the same settings that 2.3.02 was happiest with. The ini file is used by PHP when it starts ... there is no way the installer can "use" it. I would not worry about these settings unless a problem occurs, generally we have coded "around" them.

Ok i hope its works. I will change from Platinum to Raven

The installer will work no problem. It is really showing you what RN would work best with. The core of RN really works with magic quotes on or off. My personal preference is OFF, but it could create security issues with older poorly coded modules/add-ons. We have a FAQ on the output buffering so if you run into any "headers already sent" issues, you will need to set this to ON; check the FAQ if need be.

Thanx, the installer works fine, but not on a Localhost Rolling Eyes

I will read the faq later.

Thanx for the answer.

Does for me every time using XAMPP for both Windows and for Linux. You might want to switch if you are not using this distro.

On my localhost the core-tabeles are not loaded correctly. But ist ok now. I have copy the tabels from my online Server. The Raven Nuke was nice. I will use it

Can you confirm what you are using for your localhost?

Posted: Fri Sep 25, 2009 6:46 am

Its only the first step in the Installer from RavenNuke 2.4.x

My PHP Info:

PHP Version 5.2.9

Edit: fkelly, I deleted your phpinfo (and more) listing. Never post this stuff publicly. Even if it is just a localhost environment I'd bet you use the same passwords on your web hosted systems and hackers could look at your cookie settings and try to use them. Just don't, it is way too much information about your systems.

Good, but you still don't want to post your phpinfo data online. Really.

Ok, thanx for the tip

Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2009 1:28 pm

......but are you using XAMPP or another distro for your localhost?

Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2009 1:32 pm

I use opensuse also an Lamp

Soo i have try now the 2.3 and the same problem:

The installer didnt install the core tabels on my localhost.

Only the core tabels are dont installed, all other works.

I dont will rewrite the sql files, can i get the core files from you?

Very difficult to interpret what you are saying bdmdesign. At this point you want to be starting with RN 2.4. If you have problems with the installer you need to tell us exactly what the problems are, what any messages are and tell us exactly what steps you are taking. The installer needs the right data in config.php for instance to even find your database.

Also:

I have installed it local and use a Linux Apache Mysql Php

The config file has all right data in it. I open my Browser and start the installer:

The installer says Database connected, Ok

Next spep: i click on fist step (install core files in db)
Now it must come an % number, but its call me no filles installed.

I click on the second step: Here is all right, the tabels are installed

All php files have CHMOD 777

Tryed Versions: 2.3 & 2.4 its the same.

The first step dont work local from the installer script.

Online its ok. My php.ini is ok

Did you understand me now....

Bmp ... we have a language problem but that's okay. I've tried to use my primitive foreign language skills in Mexico to order a meal and if folks had not been patient with me I would have starved. So can we back up ...

are you trying to install on both a localhost type system and a web system? Or what?

I am guessing you want to do a clean install. And looking at your notes and using intuition I am thinking maybe you need to drop your pre-existing backed up tables before you run the install. I've seen situations where a user's privileges don't allow them to drop existing tables the way the installer does and perhaps you are getting caught up in that.

I had install the rn 2.4 on my Onlinespace and all was fine, the installer installebd all tables in the Database. Ok.

I have gprs as Internet connektion, thats bad. So i use Nuke Systems Local to make my themes, Modules and Blocks.

I installed the rn 2.4 & rn 2.3 Local in a clean Database.

Config is ok, than i run the installer, its connected to the Database, thats ok. Than i click on "fisrst Step" nothing is doing, if i click on "second Step" the tables was installed from the second Step. all other steps works , too. Only the first step dont works.

Are there pre-existing tables? If so, drop them separately from the installer and try it again and let us know. We have seen some situations where the installer doesn't have the privileges needed to drop the tables.
