Plugins :: Blog :: Trying to install v1.0 - Installation files appear to be incorrect

September 11, 2008

I just realized this is in the "Plugins" forum. I'll try to find the proper forum. All very confusing here.

I unzipped v1.0, then transferred the files into my public directory on my server.

After filling out the first screen, I discovered I had to upgrade MySQL to v-5. This took me several days, as I have several clients on my server, and I needed to make sure I didn't upset any apple carts.

That done, I though it would be smooth sailing, but not so - upon submitting the second installation page, I received a 404 error, as it was looking for a file in the "action" subdirectory. There is none. There is an "actionS" sundirectory.

Hmmm - which is right?  Not able to quickly find the reference to "action", I changed the "actions" subdirectory to "action" and submitted the form again. This time, I received an error that it could not find the file /action/systemsettings/install (no extension)

I then tried to run {mydomain}/action/systemsettings/install.php.  The result was:

Call to undefined function elgg_set_viewtype() in /home/shadle/public_html/actions/systemsettings/install.php on line 16

I didn't look at install.php. I just gave up at this point. I have a limited time to work on this (in between other things) and I can't get past the install.

Are we still in beta here?

Can anyone help me?
