Geeklog Forums

I've followed the instructions to the letter, even installed phpMyAdmin, but I can't get it to run. I don't get an error, but rather "CGI timeout"

I've used PHP 5.0.3, GeekLog 1.3.11, MySQL 4.1.9 on a fresh install of IIS 6 on a W2k3 box.

For those with these specifications, what did you configure in PHP? mySQLi or mysql.dll?

The regular web stuff works but not any PHP. Help....

Did you enable PHP in IIS? A google search brought up this article which says "By default, IIS 6.0 disables all ISAPI extensions", then goes on to explain how to enable PHP.

Sorry can't help any more than that, don't know IIS.

HTH,

Too many hands on my time.

Yes, everything was done correctly.

I eded up rolling PHP back to 4.3.10 and I'm at least getting a response. Unfortunately, I'm not getting the dreaded "Upgrade your SQL client" error which no one has been able to solve correctly.

Two other blogging tools work properly, but I would like to have geeklog working too, since it looks much better.

I'll keep trying.

Hooyah!

I figured this one out too.
I had to run the SET PASSWORD command both on my root@localhost and my root@my.host.com and now it's working like a charm

>>"Upgrade your SQL client" error

I assume you mean this error: Connection error: Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client

Had to run this to use OLD password hashing so MT works with MySQL

Solutiion: Change the password hash format to the old style
Run MYSQL with the admin account, i.e. mysql.exe –u root -p

mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = OLD_PASSWORD('password');

As for the CGI timeout on iis 6.0 - that was triclky. Google got me nowhere but I figured it out.

Solution:
Install IIS 6.0 Resource Kit
Run Metabase Explorer in the resource kit
Find the CGI Timeout value - mine was under W3SVC, id I think was 6613
CHange it to like 1 hour or 3600s. So new value is 1 hour

I needed 1 full hour to import from Berkeley DB to MYSQl using a Perl program. Kept timing out otherwise.

hope this helps.
