Tikiwiki installation problems

posts: 3

Can somebody help me ? I can't install tikwiki.

I have tried different version 1.6.1, 1.7.4 and 1.8rc2.

I have SSH root access to the server.
I have followed install instruction with 1.8rc2, but tiki-install.php doesn't work at all - it shows nothing.

Then I have launched tiki.sql e.t.c. as it was written on the tikiwiki.org.
This leads to that I was able to see just only ony main panel saying login error, there was no 'login panel' to the right or to the left.

Also I have tried versions 1.6.1 and 1.7.4. The same result - it doesn't work. Version 1.7.4 displays error after folowing 'hand install' (tiki.sql e.t.c.):

At the top of the screen I can see panel like in 1.8rc2
(Error, permission denied, go back, return to home page)
and folowing php error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/virtual/tikiwiki/Smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php(240) : regexp code on line 2

Fatal error: Failed evaluating code: '{*'.str_repeat(" ", substr_count('if $tiki_p_admin eq y and $feature_debug_console eq y', " ")) .'*}' in /home/virtual/tikiwiki/Smarty/Smarty_Compiler.class.php on line 240


Can somebody help me with that ?
I have Apache 1.3.27 and php 4.2.2 installed
(RedHat 7.2 linux), no safe_mode e.t.c. (I have checked php.ini for requirments)

Hi!

I'll just describe my procedure for installing TikiWiki here. However there is a good Linux Installation page now on http://doc.tikiwiki.org

download the 1.7.4 tar.gz file and extract into the webroot
run setup.sh with correct parameters, for red hat this would be ./setup.sh apache
login with phpMyAdmin and create a blank database and database username/password.
point your browser to http:///tiki-install.php
enter your database details
click create new database from scratch options
proceed into TikiWiki
where you can then login with admin/admin

Out of interest, what version of MySQL are you using?
phpMyAdmin would be a good tool for you to get as well to test your MySQL database is ok
