Just in case anyone has the same problem.

I just removed the following from my .htaccess

<FilesMatch ".">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</FilesMatch>

All then went fine - I hope it doesn't cause too many insecurities :(

Cheers and Merry Christmas,

Tim

I use powweb.com for my ISP. They run PHP in CGI mode. I had to create a custom php.ini file to put in my htdocs directory to fine tune some of the php parameters.

I found that if I installed ezPublish 3.5 with one of the themes such as "corporate" that I would get the internal server 500 error. If I just do the "plain" install and access the admin login first then ezPublish installs just fine. I can then install the various modules once the "plain" system is installed. I intend to just work with the "plain" system and read the documentation before I start adding modules and the .htaccess file.

Hello Gilbert,

I use powweb.com as well, I was just wondering if you could help me with what needs to be in php.ini to make it work? I've unpacked the files and I get the first page of ez publish setup open, but when I click next I get "cannot find server message". if you can help, please mail it to nospam:webmaster_at_brynildsen.org (replace _at_)

I tried using the default php.ini powweb provides in their tutorial page. No success. Tried to install eZ publish on a windows computer using the setup package, up without problems in no time. Wish the same had applied to powweb setup :-)

Maybe the error is because of something else...

Thanks.

Regards
Gaute

Hi Drew,

Have you try without .htaccess file in your eZ root dir? Does your PHP work in CGI mode?

I will have to check my ezPublish notes. There were a number of issues that
I have documented and stored in my knowledgebase.

I don't know how exhausive your portal/cms research has been, or how
committed you are to ezPublish. I work for Information Technology Services
at the State of Utah and pursued ezPublish as a PHP-based portal solution we
could roll out for the State agencies. I was very disappointed. It has a
real problem just trying to embed HTML in the pages! Yes. I poured over the
notes, forums, etc. You have to write your own templates for even real basic
HTML commands. Their Admin interface, forums, etc really suck. If that isn't
painful enough try integrating a good forum like phpBB2 into it.

I went back to a broad comparison, and finally settled on PostNuke. Yes.
That suprised me to. But with over 150 apps to choose from, I was blown away
once I really got into it. It is very nice! Just one example is the
PageSetter module.

Check it out, read the tutorial amd manual, and then show me another portal
solution with 150 apps that can do all this. PageSetter is just one app that
plugs into PostNuke. By the way, PostNuke has a very nice integration of
phpBB2. It's called PNphpBB2 and has additional attachment capabilities
somewhat like Invision PowerBoard and vBulletin. Module installation is
generally a 15 minute process, and you are off and running. I am very
impressed, and I have 27 years experience in the computer field. BTW, with
the AutoThemes layout you get AutoBlocks which means you can layout screen
functions anywhere on the screen that you want to so it doesn't have a
blocky look. Also check out the new book, "PostNuke Content Management" by
Kevin Hatch (Sams Publishing). It is a Godsend!

I am doing all my work in PostNuke now, and can load up a working copy for
you on PowWeb in about 30 minutes at no charge if you are interested.
