install issue version 3

2/12/2010 12:13 pm | #1 black194857

Hi all,

I am trying to get PowerStore 3 to install on a dedicated server that I lease. I have gotten past the first set of checks in the wizard and have filled out the mysql data screen. When I try to move on I get a http error 500 and cannot see anywhere, logs etc, what is wrong. Any thoughts?

If you are suing IE to run the install wizard, try using a differant browser, IE may not be showing the full error.

If this is your local computer, you may also need to configure IIS to show the full error:
1) Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools
2) Open the IIS control panel and open the ASP option
3) At the top of the ASP control area select Display: Friendly Names
4) Now go down to the Compilation area and expand Debugging Properties
5) In debugging properties make sure to set Enable Client -side Debugging, Enable Server -side debugging, and Send Errors to Browser to TRUE. Make sure to click the Apply on the right side of the page.
6) After setting the debugging you must go back to the IIS control panel and using the controls on the right side restart the server.

This will enable debugging info to display when an error occurs.

I installed Google Chrome to see what it would do. Instead of an error, I see a blank page. when I veiw source I see the code through line 91 of 2.php.

Does that help?

Same issue here- moving on to Step 4

Same issue here- when moving on to Step 4.

Blank screen in Chrome. Firefox. Explorer.

Page loads, is blank.

I am running tons of PHP / MySQL programs on my server. I'd say PHP problem, but I hired you as the experts when I bought it, so good luck!

most likely error reporting is turned off in the php.ini file so the error is not displaying.

add the following code at line 1 to turn on error reporting:

php:

<?php

error_reporting(E_ALL);

ini_set('display_errors','on');

?>

once we know the error we can look into the cause.
