Hello,

Have recently moved Zenphoto to a new server. Upon accessing it for the first time on the new server, I get:

"setup scripts missing"

And nothing more than this.

Attempted to search the forum for help but have been unable to locate any relevant threads. If someone could help me out with this I'd appreciate it.

Thanks

I have just checked the error log:

[02-Mar-2011 17:52:25] PHP Warning: Module 'mysqli' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
[02-Mar-2011 18:05:00] PHP Warning: Module 'mysqli' already loaded in Unknown on line 0
[02-Mar-2011 18:33:38] PHP Warning: Module 'mysqli' already loaded in Unknown on line 0

Unsure if connected to this.

Sorry for yet another reply but as my posts are being moderated I cannot edit my original response.

I have reuploaded the setup files and directory.

I reran setup and it offered some upgrade options (even though I only reuploaded the setup dir/files). I ran the upgrade and it stuck on updating tables for about a minute and completed successfully.

I attempted to access the gallery again and now I can use it just fine again.

Not sure if the cause or if I should have done that but it appears to have corrected the issue.

Well, after installing the setup scripts forces you to delete the setup scripts for security reasons. If you moved your installation (instead of really installing as usual) you need to reupload them of course.

After being informed, that my Gallery (www.photobocks.de) showed this error, I set it up again on March 1st.
I did the complete update procedure described on the zenphoto page and my page showed up perfectly.

Today, two days later, I checked again and it only says "setup scripts missing again". I do know that pages don't change by itself, but I don't know what happend.

I will setup my page again today and leave it as it is. As soon as it is online again I will add another post to this threat. And then I will see what will happen.

If any of you zenphoto developer would like to have a closer look, I will be more than happy to provide you with a ftp and/or account for administrating the gallery.

Ok. The page is up and running.....

Well, the setup scripts surely do not delete itself. There is a link for you to delete theme manually after setup is completed. Besides that it does not do anything except you did deleted them manually via ftp.

I'm getting this problem when switching back and forth between nonSSL and SSL. I installed this site using my nonSSL URL, finished the install, nuked the setup files and everything looked fine. I then logged into admin and set "server protocol" to "secure admin". After I saved this setting, I logged out. I was able to browse the HTTP site, but loading the admin login page with HTTPS resulted in the "setup files missing" error. I reuploaded the setup files and ran them using the HTTPS URL. That finished and using the site with HTTPS worked fine, but not the HTTP site was displaying the "missing files" error. I've now tried several variations on the above install routine and it does seem to be either or. Which ever protocol was used to setup the site has to be used to browse and admin the site other wise the error message will display, or if the setup files are there, setup will attempt to run.

You need to setup your server for each domain to use https: Simply speaking http://yourdomain.com and https://yourdomain.com are technically separate adresses (as are www.yourdomain and yourdomain.com).

Please ask your host how to set this up or if it is available for your webspace at all (not all shared hosts do support that).

not sure I follow. I'm running this on my own system and it used to work in the past. I used to able to access my ZP install from either http and https. Now I have to stick with one or the other for when I run the setup via http, I get the aforementioned error when accessing the site via https. If I then rerun the setup via https to appease the error, I get the aforementioned error when accessing the site over http. Why would this be different from Wordpress and any other app I have installed on the same domain? I can access my WP site from both http and https addresses without WP prompting me to reinstall.

Please provide the values for the PHP variables:

`$_SERVER['SERVER_ADMIN']`
and
`$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']`

for each of the access modes.

document root is the same path for both...

/var/www/www.domain.net

...server admin is different
root@locahost vs webmaster@localhost

Needs to have the same server admin, otherwise we consider it a different installation.

Hello, after doing all my CSS et code customisation on my local server (Zenphopto 1.4.0.2) I decided it was time to launch the site (Zenphoto 1.4.0.3)

So I install Zenphoto as for the first time in my hoster.
Then I uploaded my theme and I started to set all the little thing in zenphoto.

Now I have this message "setup scripts missing". But the strange thing is that this message comes time to time and sometimes after a while the site runs again.

Any idea or things to check on my hoster ?

After you installed Zenphoto you need to run setup. After that is sucessfully completed it is recommend to delete all setup files for security reasons. Therefore setup will provide a link to do so after completing.

When ever you upgrade an install setup needs to run again but if you followed our install/upgrade instructions you would upload all anyway.

After such an upgrade setup will indeed try to run automatically if you access the site being logged in.

Zenphoto detects changes in installations and wishes to run setup if changed. Since you say this is an intermittant thing, the thoughts that come to mind are that perhaps there are intermittant failures of such things as file date/time/size checks. The other candidate are the two $_SERVER items above.

I did it : run the setup.
I have to say that on the process I landed on the page to setup my admin login and the page was almost blanck. I refresh my browser and then it was possible to setup my login and password in the zenphoto backoffice.

Blank pages (or partially blank ones) are almost always an indication of an error somewhere. You should review your server logs to see what error you are getting. Might be a good clue as to the problems you have in general.

Hi. If I try the reinstall should I erase the MySQL Table to ?
Because I did the reinstall as an upgrade (I deleted all files) and all the process went OK,but still this error message.
I have to say that this message even occurs if I'm not logged in.
I'm gonna try to do the install again from the very scratch (which means delete even the tables).

A question : could you tell me more about :

$_SERVER['SERVER_ADMIN']
and
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']

?
Where can I find this ?

And what about these date/time check files ?

Put `<?php echo $_SERVER['SERVER_ADMIN']; echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];?>` somewhere on your theme for both variables and tell us what you get.
