Topic: Tiki(wiki) 1.7 on 5.5 or 6.0

[Lasse Christiansen]

Hi All,

I've also tried getting tiki (the newest version) to work in a ibay but unfortunately with much luck.

I tried it on both 5.5 and 6.0 .

I did the entire install and created the database but when i try to run the install procedure .php script i'm only getting a blank screen ?

Do anyone know of a workaround to getting this to work ?

[Lasse Christiansen]

I also tried it on the primary ibay but still with the same problem.

Tried looking at the log files in /var/httpd but nothing really interesting happens !

Any suggestions

(the rights should be just fine)

[Lasse Christiansen]

I've gotten a little further !

Tried manually changing the file db/tiki-db.php to have the right username and password for the database.

Manually injected the database into mysql

This time with my web browser i did not get an error stating that i should run the installation script. But i still got a blank screen.

The i looked into /var/log/messages (since debugging is enabled in php.ini).

It tells me that there is the following warning (well there are tons of warnings and this is just one to show the problem).

PHP Warning: Smarty error: problem writing 'templates_c/en/%%-58/%%-584454252/tiki.tpl.php.'

I've got similar problems with "unable to create file"

This looks all pretty obvious since i've got no directories called %%-58/%-58........

Do anybody have a clue as to what might be wrong ??

I tried looking at the Smart web site where i found someone who had a similar problem. But just relating to Smarty.

He said that it had something to do with PHP running in "SAFE MODE". I have no idea if the e-smith/SME is doing that.

But the solution should be to set in smarty.class.php the option $USE_SUB_DIRS to false.

I've tried it and apparantly it works !

Now i will try a full reinstall to see if it still works !

[Lasse Christiansen]

Weird !

When looking in php.ini it says that safe-mode is off ??

It probably has to do with sandboxing, it's caged into that one ibay. Try searching the forums...this has been covered before.

good luck,

You're probably right ! but fortunately i made it work with the above stated changes.

Now my only problem is file uploads ? everything else works !!  (even in the ibay) but for some reason i'm getting the error:

Oct  3 16:57:08 zaphod httpd: PHP Warning:  Supplied argument is not a valid File-Handle resource in /home/e-smith/files/ibays/tostudy.site/html/tiki-upload_file.php on line 115

Have anyone seen anything similar ??

I made a HowTo that describes the steps I took to get tiki up and running on my 5.6 box:

More instructions are at:

http://www.tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php?page=InstallTikiUnderSafeMode

and even more possible changes noted at:

https://www.arachnerd.org/tiki-index.php?page=TikiPhpSafeMode

Actually there is already a howto on contribs.org

[John Lewis]

I know, but, last time I looked, it does not cover many of the steps necessary to get the 1.7 series of tiki to run in an ibay without errors.  

I'm also having problems accessing that link today.  It looks as though John upgraded his site and wiped all of his old data...

I had this same problem with phpwebsite.
It went away after I upgrade php to the
latest version. You should check to make
sure that your version of php is what
tiki(wiki) 1.7 requires.
