Windows installation

[interlan]

Win XP SP3, wamp local server. Latest release from github.
Installation showed the success page, then on trying to login I get a blank page.
error log file is :

PS. Wouldn't it be better to use MySql?

Are you sure you are using the latest version from the Master branch (https://github.com/jbogdani/BraDyCMS/archive/master.zip)? I just made a test, using XAMPP on win vista SP2 and everything went fine. SQLite should work fine, anyway.
Please check and confirm the error and... thank you for testing!

Maybe I have an SQLite issue. I can activate only php_pdo_sqlite extension. For some reason php_sqlite and php_sqlite3 fail to initialize.
Thanks

The CMS uses PDO (http://php.net/manual/en/book.pdo.php) for DB connection. You need to have sqlite driver installed for it to work. Check the PDO section of your phpinfo() output. Anyway the log you pasted above does not seem to have any connection with sqlite anyway. What version of php are you running?

[interlan]

I set up a PORTABE local WAMP server (named Coral !!!). PHP is 5.4.14, Apache 2.4.x
bradycms.loc gives this modest page :

trying to access bradycms.loc/admin gives a blank page ( with a light grey background).
I tried with Firefox, Chrome and IE8. The same everywhere, except IE had a heading of server error 500!
Is it possible that something is wrong with .htaccess?

If you have installed it in the root directory (eg. http://localhost or http://site.localhost) you do not need to edit .htaccess file. If you have installed it in a sub directory (eg. http://localhost/mysite or http://localhost/some/path/site) you should edit the second line of the .htaccess file.
Do you have Apache mod_rewrite enabled? I'm setting up a new preinstall system check module to automatically check system compatibility.
Can you see anything at http://bradycms.loc/admin.php ?

Hello! Having the same issue...try to install in a directory (http://www.myweb/urcms) mod the second line or .htaccess /urcms or writing the complete path like up....and always open my original start page www.myweb.....what i miss?
Kindly Regards

Hello @Emanuele20,
are you running apache on windows? Do you have mod_rewrite enabled?

[Emanuele20]

hi! i'm using hosting linux and tested .htaccess mod_rewrite is available...

[jbogdani]

If the installation folder is urcms, and if it is a subfolder of the localhost root directory, then the starting part (first two lines) of your .htaccess file should be:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /urcms/

Your directory tree should be:

[web root]
|-- urcms
|----|--bower_components
|----|--css
|----|--docs
|----|--{etc...}
|----|--.gitmodules
|----|--.htaccess
|----|--LICENSE
|----|--{etc...}

You should point your browser at http://{your root we directory, es: localhost}/urcms and it should work.

trying re-uploading all with that change...and nothing open always my index...about my available mod_write .htaccess i ve found here a simple test and return positive....in another project i've created a 404 page with .htaccess i know that is another thing....but....really dont know....

@Emanuele20 you could drop me a line at [email protected] and I'll try to help.
I'm not sure what issue you are running through.
