How do I fix this installation error?

Post by gohst »

Hi,

I keep encountering this during install:

CGI extension [ENTER for none]:
Checking dir with a web fetch...failed, will try again
Trying again with file...Ok
Verifying version...install: eval: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
install: eval: line 1: `urlroot='/cgi-bin/texis/installtest'<br/> pathroot='/installtest'<br/> sourcepath='/wherever/apache2/htdocs/installtest'<br/>'
Ok
Verifying variables...*** Failed ***
$urlroot was instead of /cgi-bin/texis/installtest.
$pathroot was instead of /installtest.
Document root dir does not exist.
$sourcepath was .

One or more variables were not set as expected by the URL:
http:///wherever:9000/cgi-bin/texis/installtest/func.html?-dump
The web server may not be running Texis for that URL, or it may be
incorrectly setting CGI variables. Netscape-Enterprise/3.6 is known
to have such a bug. Your web server appears to be
Apache/2.2.9 (Unix).

Make sure you are running a web server that sets CGI environment
variables, such as $SCRIPT_NAME, $PATH_TRANSLATED, $PATH_INFO, and
$DOCUMENT_ROOT, correctly. Without them Vortex cannot run correctly
on a web server.

It's a bug in the install script. Edit the install script and change the `<BR>' to `<br/>' on the two lines that look something like this:

eval `sed -n -e 's@<BR>@;@' ...

Are you installing over an old version or doing a clean install? From the sourcepath I'm guessing an overlay install. You may need to move the INSTALLDIR/texis/webinator directory to /wherever/apache2/htdocs or edit the INSTALLDIR/texis.cnf file to point to the new location for scripts, INSTALLDIR/texis/scripts

Now I get this from time to time:

This site has been in violation of its license since 2008-10-21 14:13:30
Max Texis Version (20000(0)rows/10000(4)hits)

Do I need to install a new licence? I only got this last week.

Please open a ticket with tech support to make sure you are using the right copy of the license for the version you have.
