Ok here goes.. The way I corrected this problem is that on the site.ini file under settings, for some reason when, and if it prompts you to go through setup, it fails to WRITE the proper information to the site.ini file, and it does not create a setup.ini.php under override folder..

In other words, you need to edit the site.ini file and look for the database connections and name and password. I think it uses nextgen for database name and nextgen for username and nextgen for password. If you modify those to match your OWN database, username and password.

Ok now once you get all that squared away, if you need to GO back to the setup of the site, make sure you search for the following in site.ini

CheckValidity=false

and change it to

CheckValidity=true

Aditionally IF you have an "override" folder under settings delete it, AFTER you do the above steps, and also if you have a site.ini.php BESIDES site.ini, delete the site.ini.php and then access the URL to your website. It should walk you through the setup of the site.

PS. Make sure you have a backup of your site. Not responsible for your messing up in the process.. ;)

This should help you..

Actually I was planning to go to Sydney.. Have some friends there.. But who knows. All I can say that I KNOW EXACTLY what you were going through.. I've been going through the SAME problem for months now.. until I started reading all the SETTINGS FILES.. one by one.. and found the problem. ;)

Thanks for the beer ;)

I was hoping that this thread was going to solve my problems, but unfortuately, no.

Here's the digs:

Got everything installed fine. Can get to my site (temporarilly using this url: pissedkid.com/index.php

all the urls that point off that page don't seem to work. Since i don't have access to http.conf I'm not sure how to fix this. Does anybody have any thoughts? Those of you who have installed ezpublish on pair, what does your configuration look look like? where do you point your cgi-bin mapping?

thanks!

Blu Cava-

Thanks for trying to help, its much aprechiated. Here's the contents of settings/override/site.ini.append.php

I did just change the url to see if that would make a difference, but to no avail. the weird thing about this all is that i've installed this fine on my laptop but i can't get it to work on my host! go figure.
