Installation Problems:

[jefe18]

I am trying to get a trial version of V6 to work, and to date have had no luck.
This is the sequence of events so far, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Server (Development Box)
XP/IIS 5.1 - localhost
PHP 4.3.1.0 (Sessions enabled and working)
Zend 2.5.7 (phpinfo reports correct Zend info)

1: Run tester script – passed – download Zend version.

2: Unpacked and upload files as per instructions (binary/ASCII etc.) loaded first page.
../calendar/index.php

Please run the Setup Manager to configure the EasyPHPCalendar script ->
Loads master administrator user name and password screen.
Entered user name and password -> clicked save.

Response:
The Administrator's user name and password have been saved!
Use this user name and password the next time you need to log into the Setup Manager.
Click Here to continue...

Clicked Here to continue and was presented with the master administrators user name and password screen. Over and over again, no way out. Each time the fields would come back empty and each time I would complete them and click save.

After 10 tries I gave up.

Search forums for answer by couldn't find anything so I download version 5.7, installed it, entered license number and it worked. Couple of minor little quirks but have since read that they can be contributed to the demo version.

So not giving up thought I would try V6 again, fresh download, fresh upload, fresh install. – removed all 5.7 and 6 – deleted sessions and cookies.

../calendar/index.php <enter>

Takes me to the admin screen, enter username and password click save THEN I get a blank screen with just your footer.

Page loaded is ../calendar/setup/index.php with only footer displayed.

Did at one point have the license screen appear (where you select TRIAL and then get a license but kept getting an error message about the license being invalid – assumed it was referring to V5.7 license and it wasn't compatible with V6)

Edited license.php and removed all info between "" and reloaded ../calendar/index.php and now just get the page with the footer.

If I just load ../calendar/demo.php get the following error:

Site ID Error. Please contact EasyPHPCalendar Support. localhost

Current session info: userConfig|s:4:"admin";pwConfig|s:4:"admin";

Entered ../calendar/setup/header.inc.php – displays header info with logo.

Entered ../calendar/setup/footer.inc.php – displays footer info logo.

Entered ../calendar/setup/calendarSetup.php – displays calendar display – show current year etc.

Entered ../calendar/setup/usersSetup.php – displays users setup – Master Administrator, User 1 etc User Name Password.

So one would assume that both Zend and sessions are working so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

It sounds like the Sessions aren't being stored correctly by the server. That's why it would go in a loop like that. There are some servers that require users to make their own sessions folder (Yahoo in particular). This may or may not be the case for you.

Also, there have been two reports of issues with IIS. It either works or it doesn't. Unfortunately, I have been unable to troubleshoot this issue, but someone is going to let me do this on their server this weekend. Perhaps I'll come across something...

Version 6 is new as of this week. Although I try to test it on as many possible server combinations, sometimes there are still those that will cause problems. But, these will be fixed as quickly as possible (I've already released three versions since Monday).

[jefe18]

OK. Loop problem seems to have been solved with second download.

Sessions are being created as I can view session info:
Current session info:
sess_c8401bf5ce19261d9f6d5925266f1e48
userConfig|s:4:"admin";pwConfig|s:4:"admin";

Sessions have always worked in the past, have been able to start and destroy sessions in other projects.

Let me know if I can provide any additional info.

Thanks

Quick question... what program are you using to unzip the files?

[jefe18]

WinZip V9.0

[Brian]

I've done a little research on this problem and came across several places that suggest WinZip could be a problem with these types of binary files.

It is recommended that in WinZip to disable the "TAR smart cr/lf conversion" feature.

Please give this a try and see if it makes any difference.

Disabled feature.

Deleted everything, unzipped again, new upload but the same problem.

Loaded ../calendar/index.php

Entered User Name and password, clicked save (it saved userConfig and pwConfig to session) and then loaded ../calendar/setup/index.php but only showed the footer.

[Brian]

Thanks for trying. I should have know it couldn't be that easy.

Have you had a go at using the ionCube version?

[jefe18]

Just now and we seem to have made some progress!

Entered User Name and Password, then it let me select TRIAL version but when I select "Get License" I get the following error.

License already issued for this web site!
License Code: XXXXX

[Brian]

That's good. Just copy and paste the license key to the calender script and you should be set.

[jefe18]

Copied and pasted it:

The License Key Is Invalid!
XXXX (Sorry )

(Did have V5.7 installed after initial problem with V6)

[Brian]

PM me the domain and/or IP address where V6 is installed. I'll reset the license so you can get a new key.

Hi Brian,

I'm trying to get started with the GA version of Calendar 6.03 but I can't get past the licensing screens. It comes up with "Order Number is for a previous version of EasyPHPCalendar. Please upgrade to Version 6 of the EasyPHPCalendar script. Upgrade Link Coming Soon..."

So where do I find the script upgrade or must I buy an upgrade first?

Also, is there a means of converting Escal flatfile databases to Calendar?

Finally, I was one of your beta testers.

Thanks,

-Tod

Thanks Brian. I see from the above that there is currently no provision for paying $6 for the upgrade so I just ordered the full deal, which is fine with me. I'll use v6 on one site and the 5.7 license on another location and upgrade it later.

I am looking forward to the 5.7 to 6.0 transfer script as the 6.0 location is now using 5.7 and the calendar is to full to try to re-enter all the items.

Thanks,
-Tod
