Upload it to a webserver and open the index page in browser. Follow installation instructions.

Welcome to our camp!
Let me explain the installation process step by step
1) Make sure that your hosting meets our system requirements
2) Upload unpacked Oxwall software files to your public_html folder via FTP
3) Before starting the installation process create a new Mysql database.
4) Run the installation by typing-in http://yoursite.com/install/ to your browser, and follow the instructions.

Let me know if you have any questions :)

Why doesn't the installation go past the database stage? Im using wampserver on a windows machine.

Would you rephrase your question?

I think I got a similar problem.

After editing the config.php I´m getting this error-message:

Fatal error: Call to a member function execute() on a non-object in /var/www/.../ow_core/database.php on line 311

As far as I see this is a SELECT.
But there aren't any tables in my database.

Do I have to import a SQL-Dump or should the tables be created automatically?

Hi Thorsten!
This error means that PDO is NULL when installation tries to import sql dump.
Would you check that you inserted correct right Mysql DB connection settings on second step?
Sql dump must be imported automatically by installation script.

@Addenster :

The connection settings should be correct.
I tried them in the console :
mysql -h OW_DB_HOST -u OW_DB_USER -p OW_DB_PASSWORD
I could connect to mysql an could change to the used database.

BTW: If my settings were wrong, wouldn't the script already throw the exception in line 168?

I found the install.sql, replaced your variables with my prefix and tried to import the file with phpMyAdmin.

The result was the attached error.

Could there be a problem with my mysql-version?
(MySQL - 5.0.32-Debian_7etch12-log)

This is a good question :) As usual, if there are something wrong with DB connection, installation will give you an error message on second step. Would you attach here your phpinfo() content?

Here we go

*Fatal error: Class 'PDO' not found in /home/kisiseli/public_html/ow_core/database.php on line 163

Also check post
http://www.oxwall.org/forum/topic/11 for some more hints.

@Thorsten
Would you remove this code :
--
-- Table structure for table `%%TBL-PREFIX%%base_log`
--

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `%%TBL-PREFIX%%base_log` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
`message` text NOT NULL,
`type` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`key` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
`timeStamp` int(11) NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
KEY `type` (`type`,`key`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=1 ;

--
-- Dumping data for table `%%TBL-PREFIX%%base_log`
--


On file ow_install/files/install.sql.
After that, empty your mysql DB and try to install it again.
Thanks :)

This time I got one step further.
I could choose the plugins.
I decided to try a installation without any plugins.

Now I'm getting this error :

Wackwall 500 error page.
Internal Server Error.

I have seen this on a local install but damned if I can remember how I got past it.
When I get time I will remove the install and db and try again...(and remember what I did)

@Thorsten
Good job, you are almost there :)
Would you try to reinstall software, but on third step, where system asks you to put PHP code on ow_includes/config.php, find this code:
define('OW_DEBUG_MODE', false);
and replace it with :
define('OW_DEBUG_MODE', true);

Then, try to finish the installation process. And list there an error which you'll get.
Thanks

I downloaded the Beta 3 today.
Now I get the first error again after editing the config.php

http://MY_HOST/install/installation
Fatal error: Call to a member function execute() on a non-object in /.../httpdocs/ow_core/database.php on line 313

The database was empty.

I tried to remove the base_log-table from install.sql but still got the same error.
The database was still empty.

i need help installing can anyone help?
