Hi zhoukanpei,

Thanks for letting us know about this issue. The message you're seeing is only a warning from PHP because the mbstring library hasn't been compiled on your system. This has been filed as a bug at http://pkp.sfu.ca/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=4108 and there is a patch available there if you're comfortable applying it. Otherwise, you can suppress warnings and notices from PHP by using the error_reporting() function, documented fairly well elsewhere in this forum.

Hope this helps,
MJ

Hi,
I was searching this forum for this kind of problem, but I didn't find anything...
I (hope so) installed harvester 2.3 but I've got a strange error:
"Fatal error: Call to a member function getSiteIntro() on a non-object in /home2/lublinla/public_html/harvester/pages/index/IndexHandler.inc.php on line 28"
Any ideas what is causing it, and how can I resolve it?

Hi luko28,

It sounds to me like your installation wasn't complete. The error message you quote suggests that there's a missing entry in the "site" table, which should've been created on install.

I see that something is wrong... I started everything from beginning, upload to server, change permissions, launch the installer (via http) and: first error can't connect to the database, access denied // I've created user, then second error: DB Error acces denied // I've created a database and add this user to it, and error that it can't find table "sites"... Shouldn't it do this by itself... Server I'm working on is:
Linux
Apache 2.2.11
php 5.2.9
mysql 5.0.75
i don't have access to the shell
What I'm doing wrong...?

Hi luko28,

Just to verify -- once the database has been created, and access has been granted to a user, you should go to the installer form, fill in the required info, and click the "Install" button. If you're not seeing the installer form, you may need to set the "Installed" option to "Off" in config.inc.php. If that still doesn't help, try turning on the show_stacktrace option in config.inc.php and post the resulting error dump here.

First of all I have to mention that I am a real newbie.

I am using wampserver and I have just downloaded Harvester version 2.3.0 and unzipped it is the "www" folder.
When I am trying to install it the followin errors appear :

Sorry for the long post, but I really cannot understand what happens.

Btw, the "installed" option is Off in the config file of harvester...

Hi cyb3rb0ss,

These messages should be harmless -- most result from changes in PHP since the last release of the Harvester. I'd suggest redirecting PHP error messages to a log file by modifying your php.ini -- this is a good policy for a production server anyway.

Hello, I´m newbie too:
When I unzip the download file I get the advice: The file is corrupt.
After that I can´t install it. It seem that Smarty.class are missing.
Thanks
