| 685172 | 2008-07-04 01:24:00 | I encountered this problem while trying to install SilverStripe as per the July issue (pages 84-85). I have successfully installed Wamp, and PHP, MySQL, and Apache and the gauge in the taskbar shows white (OK). When I select Silverstripe-2.2.2 the screen showed the following: "These database details don't appear to be correct. Please enter the correct details before installing". MySQL Server shows localhost MySQL username showed root - I tried adding (variously) my name, the computer's name, each with a password then re-checked requirements, but still have the above message. Under Requirements GD2 support shows in red on both sides of the table. (I'm assuming red means a critical error). Under PHP extensions PHP_GD2 is ticked. MySQL support shows 'MySQL support not included in PHP.' (again in red) 'Check that the php.ini setting allow_call_time_pass_reference is on' shows in orange, but I had already set this to on in php.ini. I get messages in orange regarding the following files: Is the .htaccess file writeable? Is the mysite/ folder writeable? Is the tutorial/ folder writeable? Is the assets/ folder writeable? When I looked at these folders and right-clicked for properties, their read-only field appears marked with a greyed-out tick. I tried removing these and applying and saving, but this did not change the Silverstripe installation when I tried to continue. When I again re-checked the folders the greyed-out ticks had re-appeared. Sorry for the long post, but can anyone help me past these errors? Thanks Noel |

| 685174 | 2008-07-04 02:11:00 | Robbyp In the latest PCWorld (july 08), it steps people through installing the wamp server and then installing Silverstripe to run on it, which will be why the original poster is doing it that way |

| 685175 | 2008-07-04 02:25:00 | Hey Noel You have actually dragged (copied) the silverstripe directory from the pcworld DVD into the www directory of the wamp server thingie on your computer? |

| 685176 | 2008-07-04 02:35:00 | Hi Nigel Yes. It sits under c:\wamp\www\(as)silverstripe-v2.2.2 Thanks for your prompt reply. |

| 685177 | 2008-07-04 02:36:00 | Aren't you better to install it on a web hosting server? I content manage 2 php websites, and am interested about learning about Silverstripe as a possible replacement for the somewhat un-user-friendly system that I presently use. |

| 685178 | 2008-07-04 03:00:00 | 'Check that the php.ini setting allow_call_time_pass_reference is on' shows in orange, but I had already set this to on in php.ini. I also set this to on, and it made no difference I stopped all the services, then restarted them, still no difference, Do the same as you did to turn the mod_rewrite thingie on on, except select PHP -> PHP setting -> and found allowc_call_time_pass_reference and clicked on it and that section of orange dissappeared as for the database stuff i left it as the default Unfortunatly i am getting errors myself now when i try and install silver stripe possibly related to the other orange sections which i can't seem to solve, i have selected the directories and removed the read-only check (caused no doubt by being on a cd) |

| 685180 | 2008-07-04 03:18:00 | Ah, thanks for the heads up. I admittedly haven't been getting the mag for a good while now but this sounds interesting so I'll buy this month's PC World and help out here. I've installed Silverstripe a couple of times in the last year or so to test out so if there's still any problems in this thread when I get home I'll see if I can help. |
