Install.php Wants to Download no Run

[chriscisco]

Hello,

So the title pretty much says the problem.

I created the sub-domain
Uploaded all the files
CHMODed the files listed in the install.txt

Then I go to my website and add the install.php and it askes me if I want to dwonload.

I did this the same way on my old webspace and it worked fine

I am also in contact with the host provider because this might be a host issue.

Any help would be great.

Operating system
Linux
Apache version
2.2.10 (Unix)
PHP version
5.2.6
MySQL version
5.0.51
Dragonfly
2.1.0

Check your PM immediately, please.

[chriscisco]

well I tryed what you said still no luck.

But I did rename the files.

[warden]

Sorry for not getting back to you sooner, but I see that your database is installed as it is in Maintenance Mode. What did you do to fix it?

[chriscisco]

Well that is a long story and it is not fixed yet.

My host provides the fantastico installer, now it is suppose to install Dragonfly 9.2.1, but it doesn't it installs an older version.

Forcing me to upgrade, so I had to upload the lastest version files and I still get that it wants to download the install.php file.

I have verified this result on my computers of different networks and had some friends try and do it for me.

It seems that you are the only one that can see it right :).

[warden]

I really don't have a clue as to why. I have seen this before but I do not know how to correct it.

After you installed the database, did it still try to download the index.php file or did it view fine?

[chriscisco]

So I decided to wipe everything and just start with the new version.

ANd since I know you can see it fine, I really do not know what is causing the issue.

Install.php wants to download for me on any broswer and any OS, and for anyone else I have had try.

Open includes/db/db.php and at line 108 you will see "sql_uquery" function.
Inside the function you need to replace

PHP:

return $this->sql_query($query, $bypass_error, TRUE);

with

PHP:

return $this->sql_query($query, $bypass_error, FALSE);

Basically the only change is TRUE to FALSE.

See how it goes.

[chriscisco]

No Success.

I have recently installed Linux on a Virtual PC tested the files and create a local webspace and it worked fine there, I also uploaded the files from linux and still the same problem.

I haven't ruled out hosts yet even thought some peopel can see it.

As I said when I install with fantastico it works fine, but the version is older they have for some reason.

So I end up trying to upgrade and run into this issue.


I would be happy to have someone look at the webspace to take a look.

what ftp program are you using?
I access index.php and get the expected "you must install DF first..."
When I try to access install.php, I get a bunch of gibberish like the file is corrupted.

install.php headers wrote:

Content-Encoding: , gzip, gzip

in install php add after <?php

Code::

ob_end_clean();

[chriscisco]

The index page works fine, when you go to the install in firefox it will show you 'jiberish', that is the sane problem as wanting to download the file.

I use FileZilla.

Also added that, again still the same problem.

My host is just as lost as me at this point, I have deleted recreated the subdomain, worked on all major OS, tryed various other methods.

FileZilla should be fine. I used it myself.

Did you clear your cache folder after you re-uploaded the install.php? And also clear your browser cache.

[DJ Maze]

Response headers

Code::

Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:32:28 GMT Server: Apache X-Powered-By: Dragonfly CMS using PHP engine Content-Encoding: , gzip, gzip Cache-Control: no-store, must-revalidate, max-age=0, proxy-revalidate, no-transform Expires: Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:32:28 GMT Vary: User-Agent,Accept-Encoding Pragma: no-cache Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 X-Cache: MISS from demil1.byetcluster.com X-Cache-Lookup: MISS from demil1.byetcluster.com:80 Via: 1.1 demil1.byetcluster.com:80 (squid/2.7.STABLE5) Connection: close 200 OK

As you can see the "Content-Encoding" header is screwed.

Use:

Code::

<?php ob_end_clean(); header('Content-Encoding:');

And see what happens

Done and done before and after testing the code DJ had me add.

Btw, that second part didn't work either.

What are my other options because while I know programming, and I am cluless outside of copying and pasting php.

I have downloaded and redownloaded the files, uploaded the zip file itsself so it is not unzipped on the computer.

Would maybe trying a different compression type help?
