I am using the RocketLauncher for the Vortex template.
I set up the database. I went to
www.mysite.com
& clicked on the Begin Install button. I click Next on the License screen. I entered the MySQL database name, username, password etc... in the next screen & clicked Next. I got the warnings register_globals setting is ON & RG_EMULATION setting is On instead of Off in globals.php which I ignored for now & clicked Next. After a few minutes a pop up window appears that says You have chosen to open install2.php which is a php script what should Firefox do with this file? If I click Open with firefox the same window pops up again. I can never get to the Step 2 of the install.
If I browse to
www.mysite.com
I get the RocketLauncher welcome page again & go through the same process but never get to step 2.
I tried deleting all the files & re ftping them but I get the same problem on two different computers.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
I had the Vortex template installed previously with no problems except I couldn't get the tabs feature to display correctly so I deleted the installation because someone said the RocketLauncher version would have all the template files already properly adjusted to work with the tabs feature. Only I can't get the RocketLauncher installation past Step 1. :'(
Well, I finally found the problem. I deleted the database & recreated a new one & the installation went on to Step 2 with no problems. I am not familiar with mysql & tried deleting the tables when I deleted the original installation before I attempted the RocketLauncher installation & I must have done something wrong but it looks like RocketLauncher is working fine now, It was just a database/user problem! :
