Installation is not working.
Sat, 30/01/2010 - 01:32
I am trying to install ProsePoint 0.29 on my XP machine. I already have Drupal installed on my machine (working out of one virtual directory like http://localhost/drupal). I copied the source of ProsePoint 0.29 as instructed, but whenever i try torun the site for completing the installation, it fails. The error shown is weird!
HTTP 404 - File not found
Am I missing any point? Please help me resolve the issue.

index.html is working.
I checked for the html file. It is working fine. But the php files are not working.
I think, the issue is with the php.

Additional iformation
Oh! I now am getting some additional details in the behaviour. If I put the $db_url wrong, it shows up the page that says the site is offline. But it also shows a series of error messages:

But once I set the $db_url corretly, I get the HTTP 404 error.
Can somebody please guide me?

What version of PHP and mysql
What version of PHP and mysql are you running? Do you want to check with your hosting provider that they meet the ProsePoint requirements (see http://www.prosepoint.org/docs/requirements.html) ? Your hosting provider may also have a clearer idea of what's happening, since this is likely to be a php/mysql issue rather than a ProsePoint issue.

The PHP version is 5.2.9 and
The PHP version is 5.2.9 and mySql is 5.1.
I am sure the issue lies with MySql somewhere. This is so because, the HTTP 404 error occurs whenever I provide a valid database connection. But, surprisingly a separate Drupal instance is running.
Is there any default database script that I have to run befrore running prosepoint? I just created a database, gave the grants and provided the database connection details in the settings file.

Hi,
> Is there any default database script that I have to run befrore running prosepoint?
Nope. The database privileges provided by most hosting platforms are normally sufficient. ProsePoint expects to install itself onto a completely empty database so there is no pre-installation database script to run.
Some things to try ...
See if you can create an info.php file in your webroot with the contents
<?php phpinfo(); ?>and then see if you can view the file (and check the results as well).
If that works, then try ...
You don't actually need to enter a $db_url yourself. So maybe try clearing out your database, making your settings.php file a copy of default.settings.php (with no further modifications) and then visit the url of your site. The ProsePoint web installer knows how to modify settings.php to suit itself.

Thanks a lot. I have
Thanks a lot. I have overwritten the settings.php using the default.settings.php. It seems, that issue might get reslolved.
But a different issue is showing up. The message is as follows:
PHP Notice: Undefined index: q in C:\KANGKAN\Webapps\prosepoint-0.29\includes\path.inc on line 164 PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in C:\KANGKAN\Webapps\prosepoint-0.29\includes\file.inc on line 898
Can you guide me further?

clean url is not working
I could solve the earlier issues as I have increased the time out. But the clean url is not working. So I can not finish the installation. I have installed ISAPI_REWRITE lite version on my machine. But not getting any clue for how to proceed further.

Hi,
Are you using Apache or some software stack that includes Apache? Clean urls usually uses an Apache module called mod_rewrite which mostly just works by default.
Or are you using an IIS (or other )web server?

I am using IIS
I am using IIS, currently off an XP box. So its IIS 5.1
Hi,
You probably have a web hosting or web server configuration issue. For example, if you create a test html file called index.html in the same location and try to view that with your browser, you'd probably get the same error. In which case, investigate your web server settings and also make sure you are looking at the correct path.
Only after you can see your test index.html file, then place ProsePoint in there and see how you go.
