Hi all
I am trying to install OXID 4.6.0 CE (beta) to my Windows XP/PHP system.
I'm running the latest version of PHP (5.3.8, VC9 version) together with
the latest version of Apache (2.3) from ApacheLounge.
I am running into numerous problems getting the beta working on Windows.
Please let me know if you can help with these.
1. At the "checking sys requirements" stage, there is a failure with the
"MySQL client connector for MySQL 5". I checked and I believe I have the
latest available version of the connector for Windows (note Windows
extensions are not updated as often as Linux ones). Here are details of
my MySQL extensions in PHP.
mysql
MySQL Support enabled
Active Persistent Links 0
Active Links 0
Client API version mysqlnd 5.0.8-dev - 20102224 - $Revision: 310735 $
mysqli
MysqlI Support enabled
Client API library version mysqlnd 5.0.8-dev - 20102224 - $Revision:
310735 $
Active Persistent Links 0
Inactive Persistent Links 0
Active Links 0
mysqlnd
mysqlnd enabled
Version mysqlnd 5.0.8-dev - 20102224 - $Revision: 310735 $
Compression supported
SSL supported
I could not find a workaround to this, so eventually fixed it by
commenting out the test in core/oxsysrequirements.php
2. There is also a problem with the system requirements checking and
finding files/folders not being writable. Since this is a Windows host,
I couldn't figure out how to set up Windows file
permissions to pass this test. FInally, I bypassed it by commenting out
the code in core/oxsysrequirements.php.
After making the above changes, installation proceeded normally.
Therefore, perhaps these checks are not actually needed on Windows and
could be filtered out or modified?
3. However I again ran into issues at the final stage of the process, where
there were numerous error messages about missing directories like
pictures/media, pictures/master/vendor/icon, etc. I had to manually
create all these directories before the installation would complete.
Can someone please advise on how I can resolve questions #1 and #2
above, without needing to manually modify the tests in
core/oxsysrequirements.php?
Vikram
