Stuck with The language file: 'EN.php' is missing

[Pudding]

I've uploaded the files according to the directory that I wanted to install too, but somehow I keep getting this error:

Error: The language file: 'EN.php' is missing. Upload file to language folder or choose another language

I have checked but the file is already there.

I'm installing to the /www/ directory, when I have this problem. I have no problems when I installed to /www/wb/ but I really do want it in /www/....so is there anyway I can solve this problem?

Thanks for any help...

Never mind I fixed it (with Firefox)....I realised that WebsiteBaker and Fckeditor are both not really Internet Explorer friendly when it comes to setup and editing...you all might want to take note to use Firefox instead.

Hi, if have got the same problem but was not able to fix it using FireFox.
So i hope there is someone out there to help me fix it....

This doesnt have to do anything with your browser.

If a file ist missing, upload all files once again with your ftp-client. And set the rights.

[Kees_de_Boer]

Done that a few times, without success....
The rights on ...\languages are drwxrw-rw-
The rights on the XX.php files are -rwxrw-rw-

So that should do I thought....

any other ideas?

Did you look: Ist there an a NL.php file?
Does it work if you use English (EN) as Language?

Hi,

maybe changing ftp-client could do it. I am using filezilla without any problems.

Hi

I am having the same problem as well. I have installed WB so many times I can do it in my sleep and never had any problems with the install until the last week. I was consolidating all my sites on one host and started to get errors about the language file after transferring them (I usually develop on a win box with easyphp and then just move the completed site to the Linux server so this is not new to me either) For some reason I was getting errors about the language file being missing. I tried to do a fresh install on different client accounts but I also keep getting this error.

I did find a strange problem though. When I download the file the contents are fine and if I look at the file on the sever using an FTP client, the size, permissions and owner are correct. If however I use the webhost file manager (webshell) the file looks fine in the file list but, and here is what is getting me, if I select the files, the file manager shows the file properties and here it shows the file as having 0 bytes with root as the owner and no permissions set as all. If I go to edit the file online, the contents show a php file but with the error message in it.

Now if anyone can explain that I will buy them a beer as my host has no idea what the problem could be.

Hi,

Some FTP clients change the case of the letters so NL.php becomes nl.php and WB can't find the file.
Maybe this is the origin of your problem. Check your FTP client if it changes the case.

Grtz,

Checked the filename case and it is correct. I have noticed that if I change the permissions on the language folder and file to be 777 instead of 766 and then refresh the install page where the error is it says it has completed the install but it only creates 7 mySQL tables. If you then go into the admin, there are things missing such as the modules. The files are on the server but when you try and choose a page type there is nothing to choose. It looks like when it hits the language problem it stops creating the tables.

I have tried to load the zip file and uncompress it on the server but have the same problem.
