TYPO3 Board

JZMatrix

I have attempted to install all of the available Typo3 versions (4.0, 4.0.1, 4.0.2, 4.0.3, and 4.1 Beta 1a) and each attempt is being met with the same failures.

I am running Debian 3.1 on a Plesk 8.0 instance.

When I attempt to install using the '123' mode I get the following lines at the top of the page:
Warning: mysql_list_tables(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL-Link resource in <typo3 source path>/t3lib/class.t3lib_db.php on line 968

Warning: mysql_fetch_assoc(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in <typo3 source path>/t3lib/class.t3lib_db.php on line 970

This is obviously being caused due to invalid DB permissions, however the first page of the '123' method is prompted for DB auth information. I provide the information and the next page returns --
-------------------------
There is no connection to the database!
(Username: , Password: , Host: ).
-------------------------
so it appears as though it's not reading the returned data correctly as a phpinfo() on the top of the page has the valid information within the returned $_POST values.

Attempts to install without the '123' method are met with equal problems. None of the forms seem to be recognized by the system when its submitted as it returns that no data has been provided and thus the config file isn't being updated (and it never is).

I have tried running with register_globals on and off, both modes return the same results. My Apache and PHP error logs aren't registering any errors during these attempts.

I have also chown'd the entire directory tree (of the dummy site and source) to the user running the Apache server, and all files/directories in these files are also chmod 777 to remove any possibility of file permission errors.

Has anybody else ran into these problems (with all available version)? If so, what am I overlooking?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a file called localconf.php in the directory typo3conf?

Cause it looks like the Owner of the files is wrong. This is why Typo3 can't create files.

If the Owner is root you have to change it by using the command chown.

The correct user is the one you've created in Plesk for the Webspace/FTP etc.

That file does exist, and is currently owned by the owner of the Apache process, and chmod 777 to make sure that anyone 'should' be able to write to it.

In fact, I (for the time being) chmodded everything in the typo3 directory tree to 777 in an attempt to remove any permissions related problems.
