I've installed a new installation of 1.5.1, and everything seems fine, but when I go to add a user, it doesn't save, at all. I was able to modify the welcome article, so I know I have DB connectivity and permissions, at least for that function. Any ideas?

Spotted the issue, and I believe this is the same thing I ran into when I tried to upgrade from 1.4x to 1.5x.
Good! You seem to have removed the install directory already.

Good! You seem to have changed the default account password already.
It's missing a slash wherever it is that these values are stored. The architecture seem to be pretty different this iteration. Any o' you fine chaps capable of telling me what file I need to edit to put that in? I'll be greppin my way through the directory in the meantime...

Well, I grepped my heart out, and can't figure out where this slash should be generated. If anyone has run into a similar issue, any feedback at all would be appreciated.

Anybody? I'm surprised, I've always got faster answers on here.

OK, for some reason Pear was set to false. After verifying I did indeed have Pear, I set it to true. Now, I see this when I try to run the Security test (admin/sectest.php)
(This text is only displayed to users in the group 'Root')
2 - doheadrequest(HTTP/Request.php) [function.doheadrequest]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory @ /home/kayaktou/public_html/admin/sectest.php line 62
array(2) {
["url"]=>
string(40) "http://kayaktourflorida.comdb-config.php"
["errmsg"]=>
&NULL
}
When I check line 62, I see this:
Request.php is present in my system/pear directory.
Still hoping someone can show me the way...

Curiouser and curiouser...
I turned off Pear, and now get the regular security test to run. I modified sectest.php to hardcode the slash, as follows:
$urls = array
(
array ('/db-config.php', 'db-config.php'),
array ('/logs/error.log', 'logs directory'),
array ('/plugins/staticpages/functions.inc', 'plugins directory'),
array ('/system/lib-security.php', 'system directory')
);
foreach ($urls as $tocheck) {
$display .= doTest ($url, $tocheck[0], $tocheck[1]);
}
// Note: We're not testing the 'sql' and 'language' directories.
if (($_CONF['allow_mysqldump'] == 1) && ($_DB_dbms == 'mysql')) {
if (makeTempfile ('/' . $_CONF['backup_path'] . 'test.txt')) {
$display .= doTest ($url, '/backups/test.txt', 'backups directory');
@unlink ($_CONF['backup_path'] . 'test.txt');
} else {
$display .= '<li>Failed to create a temporary file in your backups directory. Check your directory permissions!</li>';
}
}
if (makeTempfile ('/' . $_CONF['path_data'] . 'test.txt')) {
$display .= doTest ($url, '/data/test.txt', 'data directory');
@unlink ($_CONF['path_data'] . 'test.txt');
} else {
$display .= '<li>Failed to create a temporary file in your data directory. Check your directory permissions!</li>';
}
Now, I get the following in my security test:
Good! You seem to have removed the install directory already.
Your db-config.php is reachable from the web.
This is a security risk and should be fixed!
Your logs directory is reachable from the web.
This is a security risk and should be fixed!
Your plugins directory is reachable from the web.
This is a security risk and should be fixed!
Your system directory is reachable from the web.
This is a security risk and should be fixed!
Your backups directory is reachable from the web.
This is a security risk and should be fixed!
Your data directory is reachable from the web.
This is a security risk and should be fixed!
Good! You seem to have changed the default account password already.
I'll go searching for that now. If anyone sees this and knows what I'm on about, I would love to have some time saved.... :pray:

Eh, bollocks it all, after all this, I found enough clues to point me to posts indicating that Fantastico fails marvelously at installing 1.5.1, since it doesn't have permissions to write to the parent of the public_html folder. Problem with their install, then.
Ah well, I've blown out that install, and doing it the old fashioned way now. If it solves the problem to install it from scratch, I'll note that here.

Yup. Installed it by hand, and all is working fine now. :banghead: So much for Fantastico.

OK, still have an issue with saving articles. Not sure why or what, but can't save a test article. Static pages work fine. Going digging...
