Mac OS X install problem

[twslankard]

Hi all,

I'm running into some installation issues on Mac OS X. Here's what I did:

cloned the repo into my web root

1. navigated to the repo dir, where I'm greeted by a coordino page; the page tells me that to use automatic install, I should correct some permissions
2. I correct the permissions and reload the page (chgrp -R _www app; chmod -R g+w app)
3. I refresh the page, and see a completely blank page. (Inspecting the page source reveals the page is completely empty.)

Additionally,

1. copied database_sample.php to database.php and manually changed settings.
2. created a database user and database to match the settings.
3. refresh the browser page, still see nothing

Thanks in advance for all of your help!

A note for 10.6.8 Server: the default site was set to not allow overrides (like the .htaccess mod_rewrites). You may need to change your site .conf file to AllowOverrides All instead of AllowOverrides None.

Truthfully I'm not sure if there is something more granular one could apply to make this work, but this fixed my install issues.

I notice that 10.6.8 (non-server) also has the default set to AllowOverrides None. I changed it to AllowOverrides All but unfortunately the problem persists.

Try another unzip of the package. Make sure you've got everything in the root of the folder, not a subfolder. Also make sure that you've got the .htaccess files in the root, /app/, and /app/webroot/.

I re-downloaded, re-un-zipped, etc., to no avail.

However, it does appear the issue is Cake-related.

I'll look into the problem further.

Try setting a timezone and see if it helps.
