Installation is not working. Fails at clean URL check but same setting works fine with Drupal
Fri, 12/02/2010 - 20:49
First I installed drupal at public_html (web root)with clean url, path auto etc. works just fine. ( nothing else in that domain/root)
Deleted all the drupal files and the database.
Upload all prosepoint files in public_html, give 777 to the .htaccess, copy created default.settings.php to settings.php etc etc.
Puting the domain name on browser Prosepoint started installing, created the database, and then it won't go pass site config/admin uid/pass screen, because Clean url stays disabled. I read around and spend couple of hours on it like uncommenting RewriteBase / - no help.
Then I changed the system.js to force enable to clean url option. this time it went through and created the site.
I tried this way two times choosing the option demo site data and the other less data option - each time deleting the dbase and reloading fresh settings file.
In the home page it shows the header, search button, no menus etc. but at content section is says a big 404, page title says page not found. If I click on any of the admin menus it opens the first page 'News' with
Latest Edition Archive All Editions Channel Stories etc I mean the whole of that page with side links etc etc.but any click anywhere will open that page only.
before creating the admin uid/pass screen tried to http://DOMAIN.com/admin/settings/clean-urls/check it returned to http://DOMAIN.com with the drupal screen
After creating the admin uid/pass, now that returns to the 'News' page.
It's a centos, apache/php/mysql server.

Hi beng -
I didn't get any email notification so didn't know you replied.
Ha I really do not recall did I solve that but it is running like a horse now.. too shy to share it now.. may be I'd someday..
There is another issue/question posted in a separate thread.
AND Thanks for the hard work. PP genuinely is a well thought system.
Hi,
There is something not quite right with your server setup.
> but any click anywhere will open that page only.
This would indicate that clean urls are not working properly because the mod_rewrite rules that clean urls uses are not triggering.
When you say Drupal works on your server ... is that using an installer script, or a tarball from drupal.org?
Do you get any error messages in your PHP logs?
You could try visiting .../?q=admin/settings/clean-urls and turning clean urls off to see if that helps. However, if you do disable clean urls, some parts of your site will not work properly anyway so it might be difficult distinguising which from which.
