Hello,

I can't login after the intial installation. When I try, it just brings me back to the orginal login in login page w/o any errors or the like. Tried different platforms/browsers. This is on a Debian 3.0 with some packages from testing. Relevant packages versions:

eZ Publish 3.3-4
Apache 1.3.26
mysql 3.23.49
php 4.1.2

The setup wizard only complained about 2 things:
1) php was an experiemtnal version(I said to ignore).
2) needed to add "AcceptPathInfo" into httpd.conf. Since this is apache 1.3 and doesn't use "AcceptPathInfo" I told it to ignore.

I tried to set it up with both url and host(I would eventually need to do host) and it did the same thing both times. There is nothing in none of the logs to indicate anthing is wrong.

pasted below are my httpd.conf file(comments, libs and obvious non-issues stripped) and my site.ini.append.php file

TIA

Steve

Hi,

Turn on Debug output at <b>yourdir</b>/settings/siteaccess/<b>yourdefaultsiteaccessname</b>/site.ini.append and see what is happening

By the way the recommended php version for EZP 3.3.4 is 4.3.x

if you are able to upgrade to php 4.3.x, do it because it worths

weird things can happen with 4.1.x and 4.2.x php versions

Hello,

> Turn on Debug output at ...

Did that(sorry forgot to mention, it only complained about teanslations missing).

> if you are able to upgrade to php 4.3.x, do it because it worths
This was apparently the problem. Upgraded to PHP 4.3.3 (along with a whole lot of other things) and now it works.

> weird things can happen with 4.1.x and 4.2.x php versions

Since Debian Stable came with PHP 4.1, I was hoping I wouldn't have any problems. Apparently I was wrong. Now I just have to hope that running a mixed Debian system(stable/testing) won't byte me in another way ;) . It did upgrade a whole lot(>15) of other packages when I upgraded PHP to 4.3, but it does appear it might have been a php problem.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Steve
