Our similarities are uncanny. I have had the exact same experience - right down to runnin ezPublish successfull on my local machine - running OSX.
My only difference in I'm running php 4.1.1 (which incidently is unstable with ezPublish aparently).
I've done the manaul install as well with no joy.
It seems to me that the issue must be with the php Version and the code used by ezPub to connect to the database. I've run Mambo in the environment successfully.
I suppose that I could update the PHP install on the remote system (I have root access), but that seems painful and risky, as my server is runing Ensim WebAppliance and hosting a bunch of other sites, and there is no redundancy.
In the past we used php4.1.2 (it was part of the distribution on servers we were using) and this worked with ezp3.2-3 and below (if register_globals was on)
After ezP3.2-3 it was necessary to use a php version above 4.3.X.
Your only option is to upgrade the php version I'm afraid.
I've updated my PHP to 4.3. I now beleive I was running 4.1 rather than 4.0.6.
I haven't received any memory warnings when running the Setup again. Howv=ever on inputting my database details I get the following error
Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 512 bytes)
in /usr/local/home/httpd/docs/ezpublish-3.4.1/kernel/common/eztemplatedesignresource.php
on line 848
Fatal error: eZ publish did not finish it's request
The execution of eZ publish was abruptly ended, the debug output is present below.
I don't have any debug output.
Further suggestions?
BTW I must say thet if 4.3 is a <b>requirment</b> I'd expect the Setup to say "go fix your PHP" rather than let me continue to bash my head agaist a brick wall ;)
>>I haven't received any memory warnings when running the Setup again
Just give your php a bit more memory than 8 MB. Double it and eZ publish will run fine! ->change your php.ini from memory_limit = 8M to memory_limit = 16M
>>I don't have any debug output.
You need to switch it on in eZ publish.
->change DebugOutput=disbaled to DebugOutput=enabled in section [DebugSettings] in file settings/site.ini
or better:
Create an override site.ini.append in /settings/override/ and add this:
[DebugSettings] DebugOutput=enabled
And if you want to know which templates are included in your layout add this, too:
[TemplateSettings] Debug=enabled
