    • Missing tiki-db.php

    Posted by paul_a_johnston posts: 2

    Hi

    I'm trying to install tiki 7.2 for the first time but keep getting a HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): when I go to
    http://XXX/twiki/tiki-install.php.

    The logs complain about db/tiki-db.php which is not there.
    There is a directory called db but it is empty.

    Fri Oct 14 09:34:16 2011 error client X PHP Warning: include_once(db/tiki-db.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/t wiki/tiki-install.php on line 20
    Fri Oct 14 09:34:16 2011 error client X PHP Warning: include_once(): Failed opening 'db/tiki-db.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear:/u sr/share/php') in /var/www/html/twiki/tiki-install.php on line 20

    If I put a text file in /db I can read it from the web browser. When and how is the tiki-db.php created and written to?
    Guess I'm doing something dumb again, cheers Paul

    If your ../db/.. directory is empty, you're missing several Tiki files. That is why your installation is failing.

    How did you install Tiki on your webserver? If you FTPed the files yourself, review the FTP log and see which transfers failed.

    HTH,

    Good morning Rick
    I downloaded the tiki-7.2.7z file (twice) onto my PC and ftped it upto the Unix server.

    -rw-r--r--. 1 apache apache 15605686 Oct 14 09:28 tiki-7.2(1).7z

    And just extracted it into a directory called twiki.

    root@blogging twiki# find . -name "*" -print | wc -l
    9912

    Lots of files here!

    root@blogging twiki# ls -l ./db
    total 4
    -rw-r--r--. 1 apache apache 6 Oct 14 09:58 test.txt

    The only file I have in there is a file I created to test permissions.


    Now the files are in the archive


    root@blogging twiki1# 7za l tiki-7.2\(1\).7z | grep "/db/"

    2008-07-13 16:50:37 ....A 64 tiki-7.2/db/.htaccess
    root@blogging twiki1#

    However after extracting

    7za e tiki-7.2\(1\).7z

    root@blogging twiki1# cd db
    root@blogging db# ls
    root@blogging db# pwd
    /var/www/html/twiki1/db


    Most strange!!!
    Seems the "e" option for 7za is not extracting everything.
    Give me tar anyday.

    Cheers Paul
