Help for Installation Problems?

[Philz]

New installation. Using php 4.4.2. After install, get the following message:

Warning: filemtime(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/locales.xml) is not within the allowed path(s): (/dh/web/phpmyadmin:/tmp:/usr/local/tmp:/dh/solidclient:/usr/local/lib/php:/myhomepath) in /myhomepath/harvester/classes/i18n/Locale.inc.php on line 258
Unknown cache type ""!

Anyone seen this before. Solution? I can edit the path of /locales.xml in Locales.inc.php so that it is found and in the allowed path, but it looks like variables are not being passed for that path and the cache type in Locale.inc.php.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Phil,

Have you modified your installation of OJS? That line number doesn't appear to have anything that would trigger the problem. However, it looks like you're missing some information from your configuration file; the locales.xml file should be in your registry path, as configured in the registry_dir directive of config.inc.php. Check to see that the registry path is properly set -- generally as follows:

Code: Select all

; Path to the registry directory (containing various settings files)
; Although the files in this directory generally do not contain any
; sensitive information, the directory can be moved to a location that
; is not web-accessible if desired
registry_dir = registry

Thanks, Alec. I haven't modified the installation and the registry path is set to the default "registry" in the config file. But somehow the variables are not being passed. Changed the location for the config file, but that just gave me a message that the config file was missing. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Phil

Hi Phil,

Odd; off the top of my head, it looks as though your system is having trouble parsing the configuration file. At least two of the directives (the registry path and the cache type) are not being set. Try placing the following near the top of your index.php to ensure that all error messages are being displayed:

Code: Select all

ini_set('display_errors', E_ALL);

Were you able to complete the installation process without problems? Does the config.inc.php configuration file appear corrupted in any way?

I decided to scrap the first installation and reinstall and everything seems to be working now. Thanks, Alec for your help.

Thanks,

Glad to hear it, Phil -- if you do manage to shed some light on what happened with the first installation, please post it here.
