Pre-Install Questions

[bim]

I have been trying to install zen cart several times on my server. Cannot get past the phpBB step. Here are the orange marked settings. Anything that would avoid the installer go past the previous mentioned step?

PHP open_basedir restrictions = /home/www/44ac5cd32250fb5ee0544c7ce3741949/:/tmp
# Disabled PHP Functions = set_time_limit,passthru,exec,system,popen,shell_exec,proc_open

# Register Globals = ON
# MySQL Version = Unknown

Server Specs:
# Webserver = Apache
# PHP O/S = Linux
# PHP API Mode = apache
# PHP Max Execution Time per page = 10

set_time_limit is used in the following files in the install. You'll probably need to comment those instances out.

zc_install\mysql_upgrade_zencart_114_to_120.sql(848): INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Admin Set max_execution_time for processes', 'GLOBAL_SET_TIME_LIMIT', '60', 'Enter the time in seconds for how long the max_execution_time of processes should be. Default=60<br />Example: 60= 1 minute<br /><br />Note: Changing the time limit is only needed if you are having problems with the execution time of a process', 1, 42, NULL, now(), NULL, NULL);

zc_install\mysql_zencart.sql(1927): INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, last_modified, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES ('Admin Set max_execution_time for processes', 'GLOBAL_SET_TIME_LIMIT', '60', 'Enter the time in seconds for how long the max_execution_time of processes should be. Default=60<br />Example: 60= 1 minute<br /><br />Note: Changing the time limit is only needed if you are having problems with the execution time of a process', 1, 42, NULL, now(), NULL, NULL);

zc_install\techsupp.php(168): <li><?php echo '<strong>PHP set_time_limit</strong> (max execution time) = '.ini_get("max_execution_time"); ?></li>

zc_install\includes\functions\general.php(89): @set_time_limit(1200);

zc_install\includes\languages\english.php(613): define('POPUP_ERROR_TEXT', 'Your PHP configuration has one or more of the following functions marked as "disabled" in your server\'s PHP.INI file:<br /><ul><li>set_time_limit</li><li>exec</li></ul>Your server may suffer from decreased performance due to the use of these security measures which are usually implemented on highly-used public servers... which are not always ideal for running an e-Commerce system.<br /><br />It is recommended that you speak with your hosting provider to determine whether they have another server where you may run your site with these restrictions removed.');

zc_install\includes\languages\english\inspect.php(52): define('LABEL_SET_TIME_LIMIT','PHP Max Execution Time per page');

zc_install\includes\modules\pages\inspect\header_php.php(149): $set_time_limit = ini_get("max_execution_time");

zc_install\includes\modules\pages\inspect\header_php.php(150): $status_check[] = array('Importance' => 'Info', 'Title' => LABEL_SET_TIME_LIMIT, 'Status' => $set_time_limit, 'Class' => 'NA', 'HelpURL' =>'', 'HelpLabel'=>'');

zc_install\includes\modules\pages\inspect\header_php.php(154): if (zen_not_null($disabled_funcs)) $status_check[] = array('Importance' => 'Recommended', 'Title' => LABEL_DISABLED_FUNCTIONS, 'Status' => $disabled_funcs, 'Class' => (@substr_count($disabled_funcs,'set_time_limit') ? 'WARN' : 'NA'), 'HelpURL' =>ERROR_CODE_DISABLE_FUNCTIONS, ERROR_TEXT_DISABLE_FUNCTIONS);

There are also instances within files.

Your best bet would be a host with fewer restrictions.

I have been trying to install zen cart several times on my server. Cannot get past the phpBB step. Here are the orange marked settings. Anything that would avoid the installer go past the previous mentioned step?

PHP open_basedir restrictions = /home/www/44ac5cd32250fb5ee0544c7ce3741949/:/tmp
# Disabled PHP Functions = set_time_limit,passthru,exec,system,popen,shell_exec,proc_open

# Register Globals = ON
# MySQL Version = Unknown

Server Specs:
# Webserver = Apache
# PHP O/S = Linux
# PHP API Mode = apache
# PHP Max Execution Time per page = 10

1. Your problem is not related to any set_time_limit issues.
2. You didn't indicate whether you were attempting to "use" phpBB or leave it disabled. If you leave it disabled, does it progress to the next step? If you set it to no and leave the path field blank, and it works, then your problem is likely related to open_basedir restrictions.
3. What version of Zen Cart are you trying to install?
4. Can you post a URL to your zc_install/techsupp.php? It might be helpful to see what other apache modules have been activated, and determine whether this block is being caused by mod_security or by your open_basedir restrictions.
5. Who is your host?

Hi,

1) the version I try to install is the latest available.
2) I don't use the cart with phpBB
3) http://www.editions-bim.com/onlinest...l/techsupp.php
4) My host: www.infomaniak.ch

I hope this will help
Thanks

Jeremy
