RavenStaller Env Chk complains: Javascript Not Enabled

New Member Joined: Nov 22, 2010 Posts: 14

Hi All,

I have a Windows Vista box with IIS 7, PHP 5.2.14 (cli), MySQL 5.1.12., everything works fine. Now I am trying to install RavenNuke[tm] Version 2.40.01 Released [.7z pkg. 6.51meg]. I followed the instructions on http://rnwiki.ravennuke.com/wiki/RavenNuke2:Installation. When I run the "RavenStaller Environment Check", it complained that I don't have "Javascript enabled". However, both my FireFox 5.0 and IE already have Javascript enabled (I checked by following the instructions below:
FireFox:
1. Select 'Tools' from the top menu
2. Choose 'Options'
3. Choose 'Content'
4. Select the checkbox next to 'Enable JavaScript' and click OK

IE:
1. Select 'Tools' from the top menu
2. Choose 'Internet Options'
3. Click on the 'Security' tab
4. Click on 'Custom Level'
5. Scroll down until you see section labled 'Scripting'
6. Under 'Active Scripting', select 'Enable' and click OK)

Both IE and FireFox have 'Javascript Enabled' but RavenStaller keeps complaining about it. What should I do now? Please help!

Thanks very much in advance.

you may need to update your browser(s), FF 5.0? do you mean mozilla 5.0?, what version of IE?

If you are using this as a test or local server, I would recommend Wamp or XAMPP servers. Apache is the recommended server to run RavenNuke.

Hi,

Thanks for your quick replies (spasticdonkey & nuken).

To verify, I have Mozilla FireFox 3.6.12 and IE 8.0.6, both have 'Javascript enabled'. I want to install Raven Nuke in order to use the CMS to test my local web site. I use IIS 7 as web server, database MySQL 5.1.12, PHP 5.2.14 on Vista Ultimate SP1. I am stuck with that "Raven Environment Check - Javascript not enabled" error. Is there anything I can do to move forward with the installation w/o installing Apache or Wamp or XAMPP?

Thanks very much.

I have a problem with firefox saying that my javascript is not enabled. I had this problem with vista and Windows 7. I think it is a firefox issue as IE seems to work.

You should still be able to install just ignore the warning.

I concur with Palbin. The warning shouldn't stop you from performing the installation.
I have seen the warning myself in Firefox and it is safe to ignore it.

I'll be checking that logic soon as I plan on redesigning the Installer. The logic (several years old) currently states

Code:




      var js = document.getElementById("jsEnabledId");


      if (navigator.javaEnabled() && document.forms) { js.innerHTML = testTrue; }


      else { js.innerHTML = testFalse; }

Hi guys,

It seems that I have no way to bypass that warning. As long as that warning remains, no other buttons are enabled for me to continue. Currently I am doing "http://localhost/installation/installSQL.php", and there's only 1 button enabled 'Run RavenInstaller Server Environment Check". Other buttons (Step 1: Load Core, Step 2: Load NukeSentinel Tables) are all disabled.

I will switch to IE and run the "installSQL.php" again and will report back.

Hi everyone,

Paulbin, Guardian, Raven, you are right. IE does not complain about the javascript and I can continue with the installation. Thank you all very much. You're really the experts!

Re: Firefox "Javascript Not Enabled" message.

1. Check firewall settings for Firefox and Javascript

2. Check addons to see if the extension "NoScript" is enabled if you indeed added it. If so, disable it and try again.

3. Remove cookies for the site and clear cache.

4. All fails? restart FF in safe-mode to see if the same error occurs, if so, there is an extension that is the culprit. If that is the case then disable all extensions and add back one at a time to see which one is conflicting.

Note: Is Javascript actually enabled?

TOOLS => Options => Content => "enable javascript" .. Also click "Advanced" button => Check all boxes.

Great input - Thanks! I am making this a "Sticky" Wink

Hi everyone,

Sorry that I report back late. I switch to IE and could continue with my installation. However, I encountered different issue which I posted in another thread ("Blank pages with msg "Nice Try!!" when accessing admin.php and index.php").

Thanks so much for helping me with the installation.
