Hello,
I am a new user and have spent all day battling with this problem. I have searched the mailing list and couldn’t find a solution.
I use /egroupware/setup/manageheader.php to generate header.inc.php file(only add required passwords header & configuration). Download the file, ftp over to server, copy to setup directory, chown to www-data (what apache is running as) and chmod 660(later tried 666 with same result).
Navigating to server/egroupware shows no login screen, I am again greeted with ‘installation test’ with no errors (few warnings listed below). Continuing to header admin I am greeted with same page “You have not created your header.inc.php yet!” and same setup…
After this navigating to main server URL in browser causes XAMPP to be stuck in infinite loop at splash screen (clicking english does ‘nothing’), phpmyadmin also will no longer work (the header script has changed permission of config.inc.php? changing it back also causes ‘infinite loop’ upon login attempt).
I have reproduced the error twice following the exact steps:
I downloaded(wget on fresh Debian 5.0 server):
eGroupware-1.6.003-2.tar.gz
xampp-linux-1.7.3a (PHP 5.3.1)
extract xampp, navigate to server URL, PHP flash and database demos in xampp work as well as phpmyadmin…
Apache is running as user/group www-data
I then extract eGroupware. “Check Installation” spits out error about webserver access to egroupware/setup, so I chown -R setup dir to www-data and drwxr-xr-x. Reload installation check, error is gone and only PEAR warnings HTTP,IMAP&XML, and database extension odb…, and php.ini: mbstring.func_overload = 7 continue to the header config and can never get passed these ‘infinite loops’.
Any insight would be helpful, thanks.
Kuba
