[Closed] FEEDBACK ON BETA of v1.5.5

[lat9]

Another question: Looking through /zc_install/sql/updates/mysql_update_zencart_155.sql (which is a utf8 w/o BOM encoded file), there are a couple of updates of the form:

UPDATE countries set countries_name = 'Åland Islands' where countries_iso_code_3 = 'ALA';
UPDATE countries set countries_name = 'Réunion' where countries_iso_code_3 = 'REU';
UPDATE countries set countries_name = "Côte d'Ivoire" where countries_iso_code_3 = 'CIV';

Won't those non-ASCII (and utf8-encoded) country names get mangled if the store-being-upgraded uses a latin1 collation?

Wow - tons of exciting updates just in the last few days! Thanks for your hard work, Zen Cart team and Picaflor (and all testers)!

Problems with banner_box = solved
Problems with product listing row height = solved

Let's continue the testing... :)

Initial admin login! Why was the hit counter started on 11/30/1999?

Corrected in this morning's zip-file.

Can you try again with latest code.

Initial install (localhost/XAMPP). Created fresh directory and copied distribution zip-files, brand-new database.

Started the install process. In the "System Inspection" step, I'm presented with the error:

Your configure.php file is an old version and requires updating before we can continue.

... but this is a fresh install, so the configure.php file was created as part of the installation process, right? The file's there, it's 0-bytes in length.

Hi

Agreed,

the messages should only show if the admin directory is called 'admin'

Working on this :)

Admin Setup Phase. Same fresh install as my previous posting. Message appears before the admin directory name that was chosen:

We did not change your admin directory automatically as it already seems to have been changed from the default.

Well, yes, it was changed from the default ... by the installation process. The message should be reworded as it's going to cause confusion for people that are installing for the first time.

for me the configure problem is now gone with latest download, i did get a warning about php below 5.5 which i didnt get before

Hi

Yes, because of the work flow in the installer, some warnings may not appear immediately.

Strictly, we should be erroring on PHP <= 5.4 as this is not supported anymore, but given 1.5.5 does not use any >5.4 specific code we are allowing for hosts that haven't updated yet.

Although I would worry if my host is using an out of date php version.

Install went smooth as without a single glitch.

Server environment:

HTTP Server: LiteSpeed
PHP Version: 7.0.0 (Zend: 3.0.0)
PHP File Uploads: On Upload Max Size:2M
PHP Memory Limit: 128M
POST Max Size: 8M
Database: MySQL 5.5.46-cll
Database Data Size: 366 kB
Database Index Size: 527 kB

Ofc I need to do further testing on several devices and with different admin settings - time permitting.

I got this error on first install and my PHP Version is 5.6.16. I haven't done a 2nd install.
