I am having endless trouble getting Drake
running on a production system.
Initally I installed
on a local test machine running PHP5 and MySQL on ubuntu-server
(out of the box install). All went perfectly, I tweaked and was
ready to deploy.
My webhost runs php4.4 and this
caused problems. Installation was fine but the front page
produced Unhandled errors like "Only variable references
should be returned by reference" which I figured were
related to PHP or adodb_lite bugs. I got around this by putting
$results into anoter variable before returning it (in
mysql_driver.inc", but the admin section was broken.
I found another host that runs php5 and again the install
went fine. The front page loaded too, but the admin section
produced errors about "uninitialized string offset". I
got around this by removing the [0]'s in classes/dbfork.php, but
the admin section had many broken areas still.
So,
what are the system requirements for gettig Drake to work? PHP
versions? MySQL version? ADODB version?
And has anyone
else encountered similar issues, or am I doing something plainly
wrong?
Cheers, Karl

Hi Karl,
thanks for contacting us! I have seen your
bug report and it has been correctly addressed (e.g. we are
starting to study your case and find a solution).
Drake CMS' installation will check for the minimal
requirements; Drake CMS can run it with any PHP 4.3+ or PHP 5 and
above versions, and it will work with any MySQL.
The
troubles you are getting are bugs that should be fixed; if you
can make some more tests for us, I would invite you to use the
SVN tarball (available here) and test it.
The next version (in this case 0.4.6) should have already fixed
some of the troubles you met.
I am interested in
solving ALL the bugs you have found; removing the
"[0]"s in the DbFork class is not a good idea, by the
way.
Can you point us to such free hosting so that we
can make some tests there?
Thanks

Hey, Thanks for your reply.
I will test with the SVN.
If you're interested in testing on a free host, try
http://freehostia.com - they have PHP Version 5.0.5 which is also
giving me problems.
DrakeCMS is by far one of the
best CMS. I looked round for many days and am fixed on this one.
If only I could get it working on a webhost!

The problem most probably is the PHP version: it is not
updated.
I will test personally since there is also
another bug report with the same error - thanks both for the
info!

SVN v0.4.6 beta r4084 installs works fine on the freehost PHP5.
Is it really a bad idea to use SVN for a production
site?

YES, you will loose your data - unless you are going to manually
fix the database
Btw, I have tried on Freehostia with
PHP5 (and MySQL, which they offer for free too) and it works fine

Sorry, but i don't understand. Why will I lose my data? Does
the database get wiped automatically?

Because is for tests and general "playing" around new
features, so we do not support databases created with the SVN
version.
