install problem

[rainbow3]

I created a mysql database and filled in the website baker installation form. But when I click on the install WebsiteBaker button it gives an error:

 The web page at http://localhost/wb/INSTALL/save.php might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address."

Did you checked that that file really exist on your server ?

[rainbow3]

Running WAMP on localhost. Yes it exists.

[rainbow3]

BTW if I change the name of the file and click on the link it reports it as a broken link. So file exists. All I have done is downloaded the standard package and followed the installation instructions.

[crnogorac081]

If you want to run WB on your local machine, you should consider wb portable: http://www.websitebaker-portable.com/

Thanks. I will try that. However it seems overkill to download yet another version of apache. I have a perfectly functioning apache server on localhost running joomla. So it should be possible to install webbaker on that. Perhaps there is some configuration setting I need?

[kweitzel]

Yes, it should be possible. Can you explain what you mean by "broken link"?

Please also check your document root together with the location where you extracted the files to ...

cheers

it is the google chrome equivalent of a 404 webpage not found.

I don't use chrome, but a 404 page is sent by the server and is actually a valid HTML page (see the sourcecode here: http://www.websitebaker2.org/test.html).

What happens when you use a different browser to make the install?

Check your apache settings and file / folder ownership. Check the Errorlogs on the Server, it will give you more information.

And, tell us what OS you use and how you have installed Apache (single programms, lampp / xampp / mammp) ...

using IE it gives a 404 error. basically same problem.

the only suspicious thing in the logs is [Tue May 18 20:33:30 2010] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] File does not exist: C:/wamp/www/favicon.ico

The file permissions in windows 7 for the save.php file includes administrators with read/write and I am logged on as an administrator. Does apache have to have some different permissions setting?

[kweitzel]

Doesn't wamp write a dedicated php error log? If you don't find it, open the php.ini and you should be able to find the location in there.

cheers

[rainbow3]

yes it is same directory as the apache log but there is no php error log there.

[kweitzel]

So, there is only one thing left to say ... if your browser spits out a 404 error your webserver for some reason is not allowed to access the file(s)!

Try changing the error level in the php.ini to get everything shown onscreen or in the logfile, currently it sounds like there is no error logging active.

We have the same problem, it seems to be a rights problem, but i cannot put my finger on it, Any more suggestions?

We are using Windows Server 2008, Wampserver 2.0

After filling in the installation form, explorer tries to open this URL: http://localhost/wb/install/save.php

IE states he cannot display the webpage.

In httpd.conf we have configured the following:

<Directory "c:/wamp/www/wb">
    #
    # Possible values for the Options directive are "None", "All",
    # or any combination of:
    #   Indexes Includes FollowSymLinks SymLinksifOwnerMatc h ExecCGI MultiViews
    #
    # Note that "MultiViews" must be named *explicitly* --- "Options All"
    # doesn't give it to you.
    #
    # The Options directive is both complicated and important.  Please see
    # http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/core.html#options
    # for more information.
    #
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks

    #
    # AllowOverride controls what directives may be placed in .htaccess files.
    # It can be "All", "None", or any combination of the keywords:
    #   Options FileInfo AuthConfig Limit
    #
    AllowOverride all

    #
    # Controls who can get stuff from this server.
    #

#   onlineoffline tag - don't remove
    Order Deny,Allow
    Deny from all
    Allow from all

</Directory>

I'm having the same error installing this on my system too.
Has anyone solved this yet?

What operating system and version are you running?

Sorry to bring up this issue again but I can't find the answer anywhere.

I'm trying to prepare for my work-practice (school thing) and the company I'm going to work at just started to use WebsiteBaker so I need to have everything installed.

I'm using Windows7, have WAMP (latest version). WebsiteBake copied to the www-folder (C:\wamp\www), the installation file is working as it should and after pressing "install" I get this error:

"This site is not available.

The webpage at http://localhost/WebsiteBaker_2.8.1/wb/install/save.php may be temporarily down or may have moved permanently to a new URL."

It doesn't matter what browser I use, the same kind of problem. I've tried to turn off the firewall (if there would be any conflict) but it doesn't help. And to be honest, I'm trying to install the program local on my computer, not on a website

Trying to access wb via localhost just gives me the error: "Table 'rockhopper.settings' doesn't exist"

The only thing that I can come up with is there's some conflict between Windows 7 and WebsiteBaker. If there's a solution I want it but I start to believe I have to test the portable version and if that not working, install Ubuntu (as OS#2) and trie the linux version.

Any ideas how to solve the "This site is not available. The webpage at http://localhost/WebsiteBaker_2.8.1/wb/install/save.php may be temporarily down or may have moved permanently to a new URL." problem??

info: no problems here with win7x64 and websitebaker-portable.

[skalman69]

ok, many thanks. I have the same problem with Windows XP. So I guess I have to try the portable edition then

[kweitzel]

My bet is it is the port Apache is running on ... (at least that was the issue the last times that has been solved). Your Errormessage points to that one as well. So check the httpd.conf for the port the server is listening on.
