[Closed] FEEDBACK ON BETA of v1.5.5

[DrByte]

Hi Finally had a bit of time to start looking at the new version.

Thanks!

1) "Main /includes/configure.php file does not exist (isn't readable) or is not writeable" error is clickable but no extra help provided. Same for admin (do you want empty files in place?)

Will look into the help text for that.

2) if you copy over the config template file from zc_install errormessage appears "Probems with database connection based on the entries in your current configure.php

The correct "source" to copy from is the /includes/dist-configure.php file ... which is why it's in that folder.
Will mention that further in the help text.

3)Database setup. Should you add note to this page to say that you need to create a database before completing the fields.

Good point.

These are all mentioned in the /docs/Implementation_Guide-v155.pdf file, but we all know nobody reads written docs despite the time it takes to write them. The on-screen help text can use some updates. Thanks for pointing these out!

Also you recommend not using root but do not test for its use.

Correct. On live production sites, root should not be used. But on offline localhost dev sites sometimes it's quite desirable, hence we're not preventing that.
