Post Installation / Setup Problem - Help
Hello,

I have installed the system using the install.cgi program, using mod_perl, and have ran setup.cgi and it accepts the SQL information, creates the tables, and sends me to the Admin Control Panel.

Then say after a few processes, it will then again bring up the Setup Screen you see when you first use setup.cgi. (The SQL setup screen.) It keeps making me enter the information.

There is a problem here. Does any one else have this problem? Anyone have a solution?

Thanks.

What do you mean "after a few processes" ????

Are you sure you aren't clicking the setup link in the admin area because that will take you back to the setup page.

Meaning after a few clicks through the admin area. I tried clicking on plugins etc. and after a few clicks the setup screen will come back...I will re-enter my SQL options and then it will process and send me back to the admin...then the loop starts all over after that.

By the way, you can also click on "setup" to set other system options.

I will try a fresh install...and try again and see if it happens. Best thing to do for now.

Thanks.

Hi There,

I had a similar problem a while back, it was because i had installed as super user and not account user so the permissions were all screwed. I deleted everything in the CGI-BIN and started again It worked. Try IT!!!

Who owns permissions on your cgi-bin and everything below it??

I had the same problem. I ran the setup via telnet, and everything came out fine..

Hi,

Make sure you have in your mod_perl startup file:

use lib '/full/path/to/admin';
use Links::mod_perl;

and when you start your mod_perl server you see:

Preloading Links SQL scripts
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Done!

This is essential for proper runnings under mod_perl.

Cheers,

Alex
