Alessandro Bottoni	Thursday 22 May 2003 4:14:43 am After one year spent working on something else, I just came back to Exponential. The new 3.0 version is very nice: finally, it does not depend on a root account and does not depends on URL rewriting and other weirdnesses that made hard to use older versions. Despite this, there are a few problems: - after a successful installation, the setup page of Exponential re-run you through the whole database setup and the site configuration process you did a step before by hand (following the instructions in the INSTALL file) - for unknown reason, the login mechanism is not working on my Mandrake 9.1 + PHP 4.3.0 + Apache 1.3.27. - the documentation that could help me to fix this login problem is not accessible (because it is in a PHP format and depends on the site it documents...). I hope that in the next release a HTML version of the doc will be available (at least as a separated download). Anyway, congratulation for the Release 3.0. It is much more usable than the older ones.
Jan Borsodi	Thursday 22 May 2003 4:37:45 am The web setup is for those who don't know how to install using INSTALL. The first page has the possiblity to disable it. As for the login problem I can only guess that it is a problem with the PHP version or some wrong configuration of Apache. If it's an Exponential bug you should give some information on what goes wrong (debug messages etc.) so that we can fix it. Hope you enjoy the 3.0 series. -- Amos Documentation: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation FAQ: http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/faq

Why do you make such childish remarks? There are several very good offline website downloaders / readers. Do you want eZsystems to have you send the docs via DHL? I am sure they will. If you pay$. Exponential is GPL'ed. You should say thanks for every character of PHP code you get. Or do you have a commercial license by any chance? Go away or THINK POSITIVE.
