Re: Fresh Install - No Go

[Nestor Ledon]

Update:

I have also tried the examples found here:  http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/platformapps/

There are some differences the these so I gave it a shot but still no go. I seem to be able to echo simple php into the CLI no problem so it has to be the way I'm using the platform or maybe my PHP settings?

I got an error right away. Not sure what the issue is.

Error:
[02-Aug-2012 19:07:31] PHP Fatal error:  require_once() [<a href='function.require'>function.require</a>]: Failed opening required '__DIR__platform.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib64/php:/usr/lib/php:/usr/share/pear') in /home2/terracha/public_html/server/libraries/import.php on line 33

__DIR__platform.php

There is a slash missing, so __DIR__ is not resolved to the actual path..

You also might want to check out the examples from here: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-platform-examples

Oh I just realized... could it be that you are using PHP 5.2 ?

[Nestor Ledon]

PHP Version 5.2.17

TT_TT Is this going to be an issue?

Thanks.

[Michael Babker]

Yes.  Platform 12 and CMS 3 require PHP 5.3.1 minimum.

[Nestor Ledon]

Ahh crud. I see it now on the GitHub page.

Guess I'll have to stick with 11 then. On a shared host atm. Any significant differences between 11 and 12?

Link would do just fine if one exists.

Yes, there's a lot of differences. Have a look at:

http://developer.joomla.org/news/421-version-12-1-of-the-joomla-platform-released.html

Also, for a very basic platform example, you can have a look at:

Hope this helps.
