Newbe here & to EZ

OS: Windows XP Proffessional, SP2
PHP: 4.4.2
DB: MySql
Http server: Apache 1.3.3.5

Finally got the PHP/Apache to work by adding the following to the Apache::httpd.conf file:
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php (not documented)

The ez wizard starts and crashes Apache by clicking on both of either choices:
Finetune
Next>
( - entry in Event log is:
Faulting application apache.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module php4ts.dll, version 4.4.2.2, fault address 0x000c5fca.
- )

The php error log :
[Tue May 16 15:23:28 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/my_site/design/admin/stylesheets/admin.css
[Tue May 16 15:23:28 2006] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: c:/program files/apache group/apache/htdocs/my_site/design/admin/stylesheets/debug.css

Neither of these files are present in the Exponential-3[1].8.0-gpl.zip

Thankful for any help/suggestions -- (maybe I should try a manual install ?)

Gunnar, hello and welcome to the Exponential Community!

To help you get started with Exponential, you might find the tutorial "Building an Exponential site" ( http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site ) helpful. It covers the basic concepts of Exponential, such as how to work with templates, create custom classes and much more.

If you want to learn more about Exponential development (like creating new modules, extensions, or integrating with external applications) take a look at the developer documentation ( http://ez.no/products/ez_publish/documentation/development ).

The all-important technical and user manuals are available via the Exponential on-line documentation ( http://ez.no/doc ). You can also download off-line versions of Exponential documentation ( http://ez.no/content/download/105283/462837/file/doc.tar.gz ).

Also, the ez.no forums ( http://ez.no/community/forum ) are a valuable resource. A quick search ( http://ez.no/content/advancedsearch ) will answer many of your questions.

The book "Learning Exponential 3" ( http://ez.no/products/books/ez_publish_book ) will help you conquer Exponential and learn the skills to become an accomplished Exponential developer. At the end of the book, you will:

+ Understand how Exponential handles, versions and publishes content to the web
+ Be confident working in the Exponential administration area
+ Know the secrets of the Exponential templating system for designing your own pages
+ Have the skills to create new Exponential extensions
+ See how real-world Exponential sites have been designed and implemented

Your problem is related to your PHP version. Try with PHP 4.4.1 or take a latest version from snaps.php.net. There is bug in PHP 4.4.2 for windows which affects fopen function.

You can ignore error about missing CSS files.

Thanx,

That got me futher, after a reboot for the new dll.....

Next obstacle:
"The database would not accept the connection, please review your settings and try again"
Solution found through search here :
mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR -> 'some_user'@'some_host' = OLD_PASSWORD('newpwd');
Start mysqld with the --old-passwords option ( in service )
Note : Service only seems to take one parameter here : if you need MySql logs (-l --log-bin) one can start from cmd

However there is a new problem for which I made a new thread.
