If I log in as a site User. And it says this:

None exist. If you're an administrator, please update your packages via the above link.

??? Well I'll look through the forum and see if I can figure it out but... ?????

Are you logged in as the administrator you installed iTron as? To use the built-in update core & update packages tools you need to login as that admin. The link it talks of will be a tad to the left of the iTron logo. :)

Soon, in the next version, I suppose, there's going to be a complete administrative page where you'll have the update links.
 
Bullseye!

I wasn't aware that the datafile wasn't included in the install. But logging in as the admin user adn retirieving works.

thanks again,

Re: Auto Update

On auto updating..

Personally, I'd rather not inconvenience my users with forced updates. In most forum packages, skins and languages are not transferable from version to version. This means your users will come to their forum on the day of an update to find their forum back to its default skin in English and with any modifications overwritten.

Besides, what prevents a user from installing a piece of software manually, and then not keeping it up to date? Nothing. It's just that iTron makes it easier.

Hmm... here's what I propose: I'll label updates in one of two categories, (a) the usual security fix, and (b) major updates.

Security fixes will be updated automatically while major updates will not. This will allow, in most cases, seamless updating from security fix to security fix. It just won't update the major updates, which would "destroy" the users' setup. Sound any good?
 
Re: Re: Auto Update

That would be great if security updates where automatic and changed only (patched) the necessary portion of a script.

Please keep us posted on this.
 
Okay. That's how I'll do updates then. As much as possible will be 'class A' auto-applied updates, while everything else will be 'class B' updatable upon demand (like ipB 1 final -> 2.0).
 
Same blank page as before

OK Install went well. I had to update php like it says a few pages back. But when I install Coranto it seems fine but when it gets to the page that says:

Your installation of Coranto is almost complete!

Upon clicking 'Continue', you will be sent (in a new window) to the Coranto script configuration interface. Once this configuration process is complete, use the 'Finalize' button to complete our install.

When I click continue it pops up a new window but no url just a blank white page. The files are there but ???

I am guessing it's your browser. What version of Firebird are you running?

Everything works fine for me on Firefox .8 and IE6.

Actually I had to restart Apache. Because I updated php I guess. :confused:

Now though (hehe :rolleyes: ) I get this.

You don't have permission to access /apps/coranto/coranto.cgi on this server.

Is this becuase I'm running a cgi outside of cgi-bin? Should I change httpd.conf?

B
 
nevermind...

I uninstalled and then installed it in /cgi-bin/coranto

works like a charm :)

Problem child?

Am I the problem child? :) I hope so :cool:

Coranto works !! Hooray!!

But b2evolution and phpNuke are saying that they can't create databases. I have 1 database used out of unlimited available.

:confused:

What's your max mysql username length set at? I thought 16 chars was a global maximum.

(I figure the username iTron is generating is too long.)

Not sure how to find out ?
 
Hmm...
MySQL usernames can be up to 16 characters long. Operating system usernames might have a different maximum length. For example, Unix usernames typically are limited to eight characters.

Try creating a normal DA mysql database with a username and database name of 16 characters. See if it errors.
 
No error on 16 or more but I think I remember John doing something about this before. You might ask how he got around it and try that. Any ideas on how I can get this working?

thx:rolleyes:
 
Are you running the latest version of DA?

If you are, and so long as you know you have enough databases, I'm going to need root and your DA administrative login. Use this form.
