How are phpBB and Gallery's doing? :)

Version .5 with custom application fields and a few other things is ready (pretty much), and phpBB should be working... except for some reason :rolleyes:, phpBB keeps going into an infinite loop during the install :D

Gimme little bit yet ;)
 
Version .5

Added new applications-list-page header.
Changed all database related functions to use the new database API.
When an application instance is deleted, the corresponding database is now dropped.
Only the 'admin' account may update software.dat henceforth.
'admin' account password is now checked. (No more garble for the 'domain' drop-down when it's incorrect.)
software.dat can now utilize "custom fields" (this is only used for phpBB right now)
 
Once upgraded, you'll need to use the retrieve latest data file feature to get phpbb :)

Managed to get it ;)

Do it for free...and my partner said we can donate a good 50$ :)
This would be good for the community...I did a custom module for ModernBill for free :)

Ended up with a free lifetime license :)

Yes, I can change exit() to return(). Another solution should be to execute the XServ API in a different PHP invocation, but that may not work dependent on your skin design.

I should be releasing version .4 in a short while with this and a few other fixes. :)

Please pardon my ignorance, but I didn't realise you could use PHP in DA skins? And what's the XServ API?

Thanks!
Matt :)
 
I have tried and tried to get this to work. I have now changed to version .5, but all I get is

No usable domains can be found for installation of this software.

I also don't get the link to update software.dat anymore

What admin account, password do I need. I used the password that is in the setup.txt file of the scripts directory.

I also tried using the password account for the main user of the server, which has admin access. I get an error when I try and use this password.

Is your main user named 'admin'? If not, it won't work. I'll add support for different main admin accounts.

You know, it's too bad there isn't a root account that has access to all admin account data (for the sake of scripting, anyway).

Yes, PHP was added back in version 1.20.6 (at least). As for this API, it's not really much. Just a few classes I put together for programming Installatron that could easily be reused for another "addon"
 
Hello,

I'm fearly new to this tool. I installed it en wanted to test
the phpBB script. It say's this:

Installing: phpBB

We could not create a database for this installation. Make sure you have at least one database remaining and try again. Feel free to contact your administrator for assistance.


I did create a database, so what is the problem?
And the strange thing is there are 2 buttons under the error message called Continue and Finish, but I can't click both of them.

Greeting,

Hello.

Are you saying that you created the database? Installatron will create the database for you, provided you have any remaining unused; there is no need to create the database yourself. And the Continue/Finish buttons are disabled because of the error :)

Phi1.
 
Ok, but I got the error before I created a database
and there where also no databases created before that.

I created a test database because of the text:
Make sure you have at least one database remaining and try again.

I also have a unlimited nummer of databases I can create because the user is a Admin without any restrictions.

Greetings,
 
Hmmm... I am unable to duplicate this so far.

However, is this admin user the 'admin' account? Right now, Installatron only works for the 'admin' account. For the next version I'll be adding the ability to specify which administrative account you want to use, but the script will still only work for a single administrative account per server.

As I said a few posts ago, I wish there was a 'root' user who had access to all users on a server. ;)
 
Hi l0rdphi1,

Any idea when you will have the version that allows you to specify the admin user?

I just added an admin called admin, and used the password I had specified when I installed the script. Now it seems to work.

I don't really want to keep the admin account, if I can help it.

Thanks for all your efforts, this is a great script.

Eddie
 
I think I have a fix that will actually allow Installatron to work with *any* administrative account (invalidating my above post). I'm working on implementing this now. Will be released today.
 
puh. I'm going to reinstate my initial comments on administrative accounts: we need a root user.

On MD-Pro, I'll take a look at that.
 
I get a forbidden error on Coranto, but the other three scripts work good.

If you don't mind, let me try the MD-Pro and once I get it working, I will send it to you.

Forbidden on Coranto? Make sure you're installing where CGIs can be exec'ed :D

Good luck with MD-Pro, by the way. Basing it off the phpBB entry will give you access to all the features software.dat currently supports, by the way. :) I'll get Gallery up and working later this evening.
