Eirik Alfstad Johansen	Monday 15 March 2004 4:10:37 am Hi guys, Would you be as kind as to check out this very weird problem that I'm having during installation: http://www.ez.no/community/forum/install_configuration/database_initialization_problem UPDATE: The setup wizard now also times out at line 1416 and 1456 among others. Also, sometimes the wizard returns to the inital screen after a long wait. Sincerely, Eirik Johansen Sincerely, Eirik Alfstad Johansen http://www.netmaking.no/
Eirik Alfstad Johansen	Friday 19 March 2004 2:32:50 am Could someone from ez please advice here? I'm guessing it's caused by some strange server setup, but in any case, ezp should generate a meaningful error msg instead of timing out. Thanks in advance ! Sincerely, Eirik Johansen Sincerely, Eirik Alfstad Johansen http://www.netmaking.no/
Eirik Alfstad Johansen	Tuesday 30 March 2004 6:10:03 am Still no solution to this problem. Would anyone be willing to suggest where I should start looking as I've got no clue. Thanks in advance ! Sincerely, Eirik Johansen Sincerely, Eirik Alfstad Johansen http://www.netmaking.no/
Kåre Køhler Høvik	Tuesday 30 March 2004 11:39:26 pm Looks like the main problem is the PHP timing out. What kind of hardware are you trying to install Exponential on ? Try to set max_execution_time in php.ini to 60. Kåre Høvik
Eirik Alfstad Johansen	Wednesday 31 March 2004 12:27:36 am Hi Kåre, Thanks for coming to my rescue. I'm uncertain of the hardware specs, so I've emailed the web host. How do you think this could affect the installation? I've already tried increasing the max execution time (though using the set_time_limit() function), but that didn't work. It either timed out after 60 seconds, or returned to the initial screen of the installation wizard. Sincerely, Eirik Johansen Sincerely, Eirik Alfstad Johansen http://www.netmaking.no/
Kåre Køhler Høvik	Wednesday 31 March 2004 12:40:01 am Have you tried the new release, 3.3-4 ? The database initialization has been somewhat rewritten. I don't think it'll solve your problem, but it might be worth a try. -- Kåre Høvik Kåre Høvik
Eirik Alfstad Johansen	Wednesday 31 March 2004 1:48:38 am Hi again Kåre, This is what I got from the web host: mail: xeon class machine with scsi disks mysql: dual xeon class machine with 3GB ram and raid 5. web: p4 class cpu with 1GB ram and raid. dns: p4 class cpu with raid dns2: dual xeon class machine with scsi raid 10 Does this tell you anything? Sincerely, Eirik Johansen Sincerely, Eirik Alfstad Johansen http://www.netmaking.no/
Eirik Alfstad Johansen	Wednesday 31 March 2004 6:16:22 am Hi Kåre, No go using v. 3.3-4. The same error occurs. I also hit the new "Finetune" button in the wizard which produced the following messages. 1. PHP option Magic Quotes is enabled 2. Missing MBString extension 3. PHP option Register Globals is enabled However, I don't think they've got anything to do with why the installation isn't working. Do you?
