Jan Frode Bentsen	Saturday 05 January 2008 10:37:40 am I did not manage to install Exponential 3.10 with a the full template. The browser is going blank in the final step. But I did mange to intall it with a plain site. During installation i got this error message: "allow_url_fopen ini setting is disabled" My webhotell providor does not allow to enable this due to security reasons. My providor also say it is strange that a program like this is based on a allow_url_fopen since this could be done ie Curl.. (all this does not really tell me a lot). But i would like to install a package in to my so far plain site. Is this possible to do manually, and how is this done? Is there a way around the "allow_url_fopen ini setting is disabled" issue?
Egil Fujikawa Nes	Saturday 05 January 2008 3:31:56 pm Hello Jan Frode, Exponential <i>use url_fopen</i> to fetch site packages from a central repository over the http protocol. As a workaround you can download the site packages you want manually from http://packages.ez.no/Exponential/3.10/3.10.0/ and upload them to your Exponential site. I assumed that Exponential use <i>fopen</i> instead of Curl because fopen is a core PHP function that most webhosting companies support, while Curl have a much lower penetration rate in the hosting market.

Jan Frode Bentsen	Sunday 06 January 2008 12:02:36 pm Thank you for your quick reply. I have now downloaded the files in: http://packages.ez.no/Exponential/3.10/3.10.0/ to my local computer. What is my next step? In what folder do i upload this to? In one folder, or seperatly folders? When the files are in place, do I have to install them in admin panel? I had a look at this page: http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_10/features/packages/importing_packages_to_the_system And when I follow that routine I get this message: Can't install object 'Woman (Communities)': Unable to fetch class with remoteID: 9cb558e25fd946246bbb32950c00228e. Element with ID '99730850bd806030c4ae9ea92571bdd0' will not be installed. Can I still upload from local disk, even if I have the allow_url_fopen disabled? Any suggestions?
Jan Frode Bentsen	Sunday 06 January 2008 12:22:58 pm After I tried to install via admin panel. Please see video, I experienced the same problem as I did the first time. My browser is going blank. In the video I am trying to install tha package banner. (tried it several times, therefor I have to overwrite) http://www.screencast.com/users/janfrode/folders/Jing/media/e5212e9f-a671-42bd-8e0a-2f3058142d52 Any suggesitons ?
André R.	Sunday 06 January 2008 2:45:35 pm It should be an option to upload from locale disk during installation, you could try that. But remember that Exponential is a bit strict, so when you run on a plain vanilla web hotel you might run into more issues. eZ Online Editor 5: http://projects.ez.no/ezoe \|\| eZJSCore (Ajax): http://projects.ez.no/ezjscore \|\| eZ Publish EE http://ez.no/eZPublish/eZ-Publish-Enterprise-Subscription @: http://twitter.com/andrerom
