WinXP MySQL PHP install error

hi,

I'm trying the free version first before decide to buy the license version.

However, I'm trying to install on my current laptop: Windows XP - IIS 5.1 - MySQL 4.1 - PHP 4.4.2

After runs  http://localhost/cadmin/cinstall.php I don't see any success/error after install.

I check the database: there are 32 tables.

I had setup /cache, /templates folder for writeable (by going to properties dialog in Windows Explorer, not in IIS)

And I receive this error: "Error: Can't connect to the MySQL server"

I had download /cadmin/cfix.php, then modify and run. But my config.php does not change:

<?php $estc = ""; ?>

Please help me to install it on my machine. Thank you very much!

Ah, I see. So sorry.

Because I use WYSIWYG feature. If click on Add function only, the upload function will be at the end of page.

Hi Philipp,

Did you talk about Teaser Image upload? I can not find "Add News Images" or "Click here to add images from the images/news directory to your news" anywhere.

Could you give me more detail information?

The freeware version support image uploads with PHP 4.1.0 and higher. To upload news images scroll down to "Add News Images" and click on "Click here to add images from the images/news directory to your news".

Thanks!

I tried it on a Linux server. And very good.

However, this is the free version. So it does not have the upload images function, right?

I will found more functions that the free version does not have. But if you type here some important functions to help me to decide buying the license version?

thank you very much!

What happened if you put the CMS in a separate directory (e.g. C:homepagestoryteller) ?

Thanks for your quick reply!

However, I can not set writeable for all folder. I've checked again, all folder after un-set readonly property, it seems that nothing happen with them, watch again the properties dialog, it still readonly.

That's why I can not install success.

You need to set your Storyteller main folder writeable during the installation. The script is trying to write back to config.php and fail.
