Topic: Application already installed.

Hi,
I am going to test Front Accounting but each time i start auto installation
http://mypc.mydomain.local/account/install/ i got  message:
"Error: Seems you have FrontAccounting application already installed."
When I start installation for the first time I got  screen with all components  marked as green, without any error info.

Installations results in empty database created and that's all.

System:
Windows XP Pro SP3, MS VC++ Redistr. 2005 and 2008.
Apache v.2.2.14, MySQL v.5.1.41, PHP v.5.3.1, phpMyAdmin
There are no access restrictions to htdocs directory.

Re: Application already installed.

Well, seems you have application successfully installed. Now you should simply open

http://mypc.mydomain.local/accountt/index.php

instead install/index.php. Do not forget removing install directory after successful install for security reasons.

Re: Application already installed.

Hello Mariusz,

I have just found the reason of this strange behaviour. File install/save.php has been fixed and is available from CVS repository (main branch). If you don't know how to check it out, you can also fix your local copy inserting:

unlink($path_to_root."/config.php");

in file install/save.php at line 56, just before header() call.
This will fix display of error messages, which are currently hidden by above false message.

This fix will be also available in next FA 2.2.1, released ASAP.

Re: Application already installed.

Hi Janusz,
Thanks for replies.

I still have this problem.
What I done:

1) I deleted old FA database using phpMyAdmin
2) I deleted FA directory in htdocs
3) I unpacked zip archive with clean FA 2.2 version
4) I download install/save.php from:
    https://frontaccounting.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/frontaccounting/frontaccount/install/save.php?view=log
    and wrote it  in /install directory
5) I started installation

This process resulted with the same error. Difference was that database created was filled with some data.
Script does not created admin account.

One more strange thing:
Somehow Opera remembered field values from initial installation screen.
