Aspen Framework RC2 Released

[mbotsko]

We’ve had some time to work out a few remaining issues from the first
release candidate, and today we’re releasing the second release
candidate of the Aspen framework. We feel that this release is stable
enough for the final 1.0.0 launch and we’re ready to begin testing to
be sure. Go ahead and download the framework and let us know how it
works for you.

We have not written any release notes since we’ve not yet had any
stable products, but you may want to read the Compatibility
documentation. We also offer support through the aspen-framework
google group.

Hi Mike - Looks interesting. Just thought I'd let you know that I
couldn't get past the:

"Install Aspen Framework - Step Two
Enter in the administrator account information and click Next to
complete."

screen. It just gave me the same screen over and over, with the error:
"We were unable to create your account. Please try again."
Also, it added additional slashes to the URL on each attempt:
ie: /aspen/////admin/index.php?module=install&method=createAccount

This was under a shared (dreamhost) hosting account, PHP Version
5.2.6. I double-checked the db settings and all seemed well.
Thanks,
Ben

The framework attempts to detect the entire URL by itself, so I'm
assuming the issue with the forward slashes is just a small glitch
that happens on shared accounts - we've seen it before but it should
be easy to fix.

The best way to help us debug any problems is to send a SQL dump of
the error_log table, if it was created at all and if it has anything
in it.

Regarding the installation process - the specific error you saw occurs
when the query to create a new account fails. That piece of the code
has been running just fine for quite some time, so it may be a problem
with the queries during the initial setup not creating the right
table. Hopefully, you're error log might reveal something.

If not, it would be helpful if you can turn on logging and send me the
log file that's generated. More information on that is here:
