steps of Installation

[gaurav]

I m facing problem in installing Harvest2.
I want to install on MS windows Xp.
System information (Window Xp, IIS, Php, MsSql/Mysql)
After configuring all, i try to install harvest2, when I click on install automatically, the page goes blank, no further process happens, Its shows no activity.
So, can somebody tell me step by step configuration to install it. I will be very thankful to u.

Hi guarav,

When the Harvester serves up a blank page, it's always an indication that a PHP error has occurred; depending on your PHP configuration, these errors might not be displayed. Either check your error log to see what the message was, or insert this near the top of index.php (outside of the comments):

ini_set('display_errors', E_ALL);

Try again and see what the error message is.

Hi Guarav,

Do you mean how do you load the MySQL extension in PHP? This is done in php.ini, and will be slightly different depending on whether you're using a Windows server or a *NIX server and depending on how your server is configured. You'll need to un-comment or add a line like the following in php.ini:

Code: Select all

extension=mysql.so

...making sure that this extensino exists in your extensions folder, as configured elsewhere in php.ini.

I'm facing the same problem.

I'm using:
Windows XP SP2 IIS5.0
PHP 5.1.4
MySql 4.1.20

When I click the install button , it goes to a blank page with url-"http://localhost/OJS/index.php/index/install/install" .

No addtional action.

WHY??????

So I added "ini_set('display_errors', E_ALL); " into the index.php file .

*/

/**
* Handle a new request.
*/ini_set('display_errors', E_ALL);
function handleRequest()............
------------------------------------------------------------

But no any error messages displayed.

WHY????

Hi guchao,

Did you follow the above advice regarding loading the MySQL extension? This is usually the cause of problems like the one you experience, especially when no error messages are displayed.
