Re: production environement setup
Scott,
Thank you very much for your post. Initially I tried to use SC to deploy using a zip file and the FTP client that comes with scriptcase. That gave me errors during the deployment so I decided to use WP_Pro which is a standalone FTP client and copied all the files over to the server manually.
Then I created the MYSQL connection and I test it. It said the connection was successful, then I saved the connection. I changed the permissions to the various scriptcase folders to 777 and got the parser error message
Fatal error: Unable to read 4096 bytes in /home/online56/public_html/scriptcase/devel/class/xmlparser/nmXmlparser.class.php on line 0
If I changed permissions to 777 to the entire scriptcase folder then I got and internal server error message such as :
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster@onlineartpics.com and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I would like to try to do as you suggested with the zip file approach. Is there a way you can describe this step by step. The instructions in the webhelp I find very sketchy and hard to follow. When you say upload the zip file and unzip it; do you mean unzip at the server ? or unzip it on my local system and ftp the files over. Also you mention run the installer; I am not sure what installer you are referring to.
For the permissions part all the files that I upload with WP_Pro ftp client show up as permission 644 in the server folders. And I do not know which folder and files to make 777. The scriptcase webhelp I saw it saying the _lib folder. Does that mean the _lib folder and all other files and folders under _lib ?
The production environment uses Apache version 2.2.13 (UNIX) with PHP version 5.2.10, MySQL version 5.0.81-community-log and and Linux operating system. I also called the hosting company (Inmotionhosting.com) and asked about the Zend Optimizer. They said that the Zend Optimizer is installed and enabled on my account (Zend Optimizer 3.3.3).
I did not anticipate so much difficulty in getting to deploy my applications. All my applications on my local machine work perfect but I am frustrated with the deployment process.
If you could by any chance describe the deploy for Unix based servers in a bit more detail I would very much appreciated.
Looking at this forum I see very little activity which is unfortunate and the fact that you have replied to the post is commendable. I wish the scriptcase folks would participate more actively in this and perhaps moderate.
It took me more than 6 mo to get the apps going (but of course the support for it) goes away in 30 days.
Best Regards,
Francis
