Textpattern Cms

[phocee]

Hi,

 

I am trying to install the Textpattern CMS software and have problems: does anybody have already installed this software on the tch servers ?

 

The installation script is dead easy and confirms installation is OK, but I can only see a blank page when accessing the front page of TXP. There is no logging yet so I have no clue about where to look for the pb.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

 

Thanks,

 

Nicolas.

Hi Nicolas, and welcome to the forums

 

About your problem, I never used TextPattern but we do have a few users here on the forums, so I think they'll be able to help you out

 

Moving for better organization.

Hi Raul,

 

thanks for your reply. I have seen that LISA was speaking about textpattern briefly in one of the thread about Moveable Type. That's why I asked in the forum.

 

Textpattern is not fully documented yet unfortunately, but promising.

 

It runs on my PC under EasyPhp, no pb, so I am surprised that it does not run at tch since you're quite up to date in terms of PHP support !

 

I'll wait some more support from txp, or from other users.

 

Regards,

 

Nicolas.

I ran textpattern here for about a month then switched to ExpressionEngine. It should run fine though. I installed it for someone else here too and had it up pretty quickly.

 

I'm not sure why you would get a blank page. The last version I installed was 1.19. Are you getting the blank page going to your admin section or the live site? What are the settings you put in the config file (i forget the name)?

Hi Lisa,

 

I agree it should be up quickly, I am going to re-install again in order to avoid time loosing to you. But I have tried twice, while I have installed it many times on local machine.

Version installed is the later one.

 

My config.php file is somethink like :

 

<?php

$txpcfg['db'] = 'n-gauth_textpattern';

$txpcfg['user'] = 'n-gauth_nico';

$txpcfg['pass'] = '<the passwd>';

$txpcfg['host'] = 'localhost';

$txpcfg['table_prefix'] = '';

$txpcfg['txpath'] = '/home/n-gauth/public_html/cms/tp/textpattern';

$txpcfg['doc_root'] = '/home/n-gauth/public_html';

$txpcfg['secret_word'] = 'spinach';

?>

 

and I get a blank page when going to the admin part : http://www.n-gauthier.net/cms/tp/textpattern/

 

I give it another try.

And that's it.

 

I have done it twice without success, and since I started to ask for help and do it again from scratch, it works. The demo effect.

 

So basically you're right, it straighforward. At least a topic about textpattern is started !

 

Thanks,

 

Nicolas.

At least it works, now I can be lazy and not try to figure it out! =)

Hi Nicholas-

 

I'm running Textpattern without problems, so I can confirm that it's doable. Off the top of my head, your config.php file looks okay, but try this: Some folks at the textpattern support forum have reported that extra blank lines at the end of config.php will cause problems -- these might be introduced by your editor, so open up config.php and remove any newlines after the close ?> tag. That might just do the trick.

Thanks to all for your friendly replies, it feels nice.

 

Now I need to find what content I will put in the CMS, and the time to do it !

 

Have a nice week,

 

Nicolas.

Does that mean you got it working? If so, great!

Ack. It was late at night, can I blame it on that? The sun got in my eyes?

 

No?

Yes I have it working. I am now only starting to play with it. The good thing is, I can also do it from work now !
