Unable to install Zuluru in windows 10

Post by natarajanram »

Hello,
I am trying to install Zuluru in windows 10. I have the following tools installed:
1. Apache httpd-2.4.33-Win32-VC15
2. Php56
I used the steps at: https://github.com/Zuluru/Zuluru to install cakephp 1.36 and Zuluru
Cakephp 1.3 installed under Apache24/htdocs/cake_1_3
Zuluru copied under Apache24/htdocs/cake_1_3/zuluru
I am unable to run the step: http://localhost/cake_1_3/zuluru/index.php/install , the error is:

This page isn’t working
localhost is currently unable to handle this request.
HTTP ERROR 500

I have checked to make sure all users have write permission to the zuluru directories. Can you please suggest on how this can be resolved?

Thanks
Guha

First step in debugging installations is always to set debug to 2 in the config/core.php. That should give you a more detailed error message, which will help locate the actual problem.

Hi,
The debug flag provided some details on the issue and i did the following steps:
1. In cake_1_3\app\config\core.php, uncommented this in 3 files - date_default_timezone_set('UTC');
2. Renamed database.php.default under zuluru/config and ake_1_3\app\config\ to database.php. Same thing for zuluru\config\install.php.default

Fatal Error (256): ConnectionManager::loadDataSource - Unable to import DataSource class .Dbo{driver} [CORE\cake\libs\model\connection_manager.php, line 185]

The relevant lines are:
if (!App::import('Datasource', $class, !is_null($conn['plugin']))) {
trigger_error(sprintf(__('ConnectionManager::loadDataSource - Unable to import DataSource class %s', true), $class), E_USER_ERROR);
return null;
}
I am probably missing a configuration, not sure what. Request your help on this.
Greg, you had mentioned in a previous post that you have the detailed config steps documented. Can you please share the link to that documentation?

Thanks
Ram

You shouldn't rename those default files; the installation process uses them to generate actual ones. And they have placeholders in them which will cause the kinds of errors you're seeing.

Ok, i renamed them back to database.php.default. I did this in 3 locations - htdocs\cake_1_3\app\config, cake_1_3\zuluru\config and cake_1_3\cake\console\templates\skel\config

Also install.php was reset to install.php.default in cake_1_3\zuluru\config

Now the error i get is: Fatal Error (256): ConnectionManager::loadDataSource - Unable to import DataSource class .Dbo{driver} [CORE\cake\libs\model\connection_manager.php, line 185]

Any suggestions?

The fact that it's saying ".Dbo{driver}" would seem to indicate that the default version is still incorrectly in place somewhere. Your safest bet might be to wipe out the folders entirely and download a fresh version?

I am just working on getting the installation working and will then (finally!) be releasing it. I'm working with a third-party installation plugin, which I'm extending to support new options, so there's a bit of a delay as the developer of that plugin and I get everything lined up. I'm hoping it will be this week; if it's not, then I'm away for a week before I can get back to it. Either way, it really really should be before the end of August.
