Hi,
I have just purchased a copy of EE2.1. I installed it on my Windows XP work machine earlier with no problems.
Subsequently I tried to install it on my Mac (Snow Leopard) at home and no luck. I’m running a MAMP local server and my problems seem to be similar to others I’ve seen in the forum.
I used phpMyAdmin to set up a database, set the permissions, used the installer to install, and EE gave me a “installed correctly” message at the end.
The only strange thing during the install was that I did not have the option to install the Agile Records theme from the drop down. I could only do a clean install with no theme (I installed the Agile theme on my Windows machine earlier, no problem).
This is the config that was written during the install:
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| ExpressionEngine Config Items
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| The following items are for use with ExpressionEngine. The rest of
| the config items are for use with CodeIgniter.
|
*/
$config['app_version'] = '210';
$config['install_lock'] = "";
$config['license_number'] = '';
$config['debug'] = '1';
$config['cp_url'] = 'http://localhost:8888/mysite/mysite/index.php';
$config['doc_url'] = 'http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/';
$config['is_system_on'] = 'y';
$config['site_label'] = 'Mysite';
$config['cookie_prefix'] = '';
// END EE config items
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Base Site URL
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| URL to your CodeIgniter root. Typically this will be your base URL,
| WITH a trailing slash:
|
| <a href="http://example.com/">http://example.com/</a>
|
*/
$config['base_url'] = '';
After this, I tried navigating to the control panel, but I get this error:
An Error Was Encountered
Unable to load the requested file: account/login.php
I tried adding the themes path to the config myself, as suggested on the forums, like so:
$config[‘theme_folder_path’] = “/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mysite/themes/”
This is the correct and full path. But instead of the error I just get a white screen of death.
I don’t think this problem is even specific to MAMP. I’ve also got a native Apache/PHP/MySQL environment running on my Mac and I tried the install there with the same result.
Any help would be appreciated,
Cheers,
Martin
