    Hi:

    So I tried to install the latest Newscoop on a new VPS with php 5.4.8 and I got too many errors. In some thread I read from the developers that Newscoop work out of the box in VPS machine but not in my case :#

    First, I got a blank page when trying to install, I checked the error_log and saw a Smarty error etc. Somehow I could fix the error and finally got the install page to work.

    Everything was installing and on the last page, when I clicked on the Administration icon, I got this error:


    Error Report Error ID: 2048:Newscoop:4.0.2:Issue.php:1122 Error String: Declaration of Issue::create() should be compatible with DatabaseObject::create($p_values = NULL) Time: Thu, 08 Nov 2012 16:41:54 -0500 Backtrace: Admin_Bootstrap::{closure}() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/admin-files/init_content.php:3]require_once() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/admin-files/init_content.php:3]require_once() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/application/modules/admin/Bootstrap.php:74]Admin_Bootstrap::_initNewscoop() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/library/Zend/Application/Bootstrap/BootstrapAbstract.php:667]Zend_Application_Bootstrap_BootstrapAbstract::_executeResource() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/library/Zend/Application/Bootstrap/BootstrapAbstract.php:620]Zend_Application_Bootstrap_BootstrapAbstract::_bootstrap() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/library/Zend/Application/Bootstrap/BootstrapAbstract.php:584]Zend_Application_Bootstrap_BootstrapAbstract::bootstrap() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/library/Zend/Application/Resource/Modules.php:107]Zend_Application_Resource_Modules::init() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/library/Zend/Application/Bootstrap/BootstrapAbstract.php:681]Zend_Application_Bootstrap_BootstrapAbstract::_executeResource() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/library/Zend/Application/Bootstrap/BootstrapAbstract.php:624]Zend_Application_Bootstrap_BootstrapAbstract::_bootstrap() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/library/Zend/Application/Bootstrap/BootstrapAbstract.php:584]Zend_Application_Bootstrap_BootstrapAbstract::bootstrap() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/library/Zend/Application.php:355]Zend_Application::bootstrap() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/public/index.php:4]require_once() called at [/home/xxxx/public_html/index.php:12]
    Newscoop has encountered a problem.


    Please take a minute to send us an email.

    Simply copy and paste the error report below and send it to: newscoop-bug@sourcefabric.org.



    Thank you.




     So this error appeared when calling the /admin and in the frontend.

    I checked again the error_log and I got things like this:

    [08-Nov-2012 16:40:13 America/New_York] PHP Strict Standards:  Non-static method DB::connect() should not be called statically in /home/xxxx/public_html/db_connect.php on line 20

     ...etc etc..

    Any help or guidance is appeciated.

    Thank you!

    check error_reporting in php.ini. It should be define like E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT  (for php 5.4.x)

    also I recommend using vps with ubuntu 12.04.

    Hi:

    I have added:

    E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT

    to php.ini and errors have gone. I could get into admin and front end sections without problem.

    I'm using CENTOS 6.3 x86_64, I will check if Ubuntu 12.04 is available with my provider.

    By the way, one thing that I needed to do is to replace line 13 of install/classes/CampTemplate.php from:

    require_once('smarty/libs/Smarty.class.php');
    to:
    require_once($GLOBALS['g_campsiteDir'].'/include/smarty/Smarty.class.php');

    because with the original line I only get a blank page when trying the installation /: I got it working that way, Can you confirm that line is correct to change?

    Thank you!

    > You have missed the symlink for libs folder when you extracted files form
    tarball. That's why you had to hack the code.
