Mac OSX Setup problems

Hi all :smile:

Just trying G2 for the first time today. I ran into a number of setup problems and after some reading here, begin to wonder if my php version is too old. The setup problems began when it wouldn't create the directories (I'm positive permissions were OK). I created the directories manually and setup proceeded to db creation. Although it reported success, when I went to main.php I received a long list of errors that sum up to say that no tables were created in the new db. I stopped at that point.

My environment:
MacOSX 10.1.5 (Darwin Kernel Version 5.2)
php 4.1.2
mySQL 3.23.39
apache 1.3.22

any thoughts?

Yes and Yes... thanks though :smile:

Hi bharat :smile:

Thanks for the kind offer. I'll get back to you a bit later on the ssh thing.

This install of g2 I am playing with is on my personal box and I am on dial-up from home most of the time and occasionally behind a DSL connected LAN at work (which wouldn't be much good.) I go out to play hockey tonight and I will try to leave my Mac online for the night and will fwd an address, etc to you before I go out, if possible. The address should be good for at least 12 hours. If we get lucky, the timing will work out.

BTW... I may try installing this on a Linux box this afternoon to see what success I get.

To sum up the installation problems:
1) setup wouldn't create the directories. I created the directories manually so it could proceed
2) the db was created by setup, but no tables were created in the new db
3) following are the errors I get on main.php:

Hi bharat,

I noticed you were on. I'm not sure what happened to the connection. My modem didn't appear to disconnect but I certainly lost all ability to resolve hosts. Anywise...

I used 'MacCVSClient X' to get the files from CVS. (please excuse my ignorance in these regards, but I had trouble getting CVS to install and run through my terminal). I imagine 'MacCVSClient X' must saved the files with CR's for line endings. As I use BBEdit for working on all my files, and BBEdit keeps the line ending format transparent to me, I never noticed that they were DOS files. This'll only take me a few seconds to fix. I'll do it right after I get back from hockey!

Thanks for the pointer and I'll let you know how I made out tomorrow.

best regards, v
