Updated Laconica Installer – Installing 0.7.3

Posted by JuanJose on Apr 23, 2009 in PHP Programming, laconica |

Just finished testing the updated installer for laconica version 0.7.3 codenamed “You Are The Everything“. I’ve gone ahead and cleared out the old laconica install at http://laconica.gimmesoda.com and tested the installer there with no problems. Also, there was a bug which allowed the installer to continue running even after failing to select the database. This has been fixed as well.

The installer can be downloaded from the usual location:

http://www.gimmesoda.com/laconica_installer.zip

One last thing, you have to call the install script from gimme_install.php instead of install.php (laconica now has it’s own installer at that location).

If people still need help with this I do offer an install service, just contact me.

    The database for test isn’t responding correctly, so the site won’t work properly. The site admins probably know about the problem, but you can contact them at webmaster@laconica.gimmesoda.com to make sure. Otherwise, wait a few minutes and try again.

    Hello again – I tried the new installer and I’m left with the following error:

    This page contains the following errors:
    error on line 72 at column 1955: Extra content at the end of the document
    Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

    Find the debug-mode database error here: http://pastie.org/456063

    Any ideas on how I should proceed to fix this?

    Thanks for letting me know about that! I actually was messing around with the installer and forgot to run it one more time to fix the config file.

    Fantastic work on the installer JJ, maybe you should get a job at laconica or they should offer your installer as part of there download for 0.73.

    Still having the same problem with my database which is weird.

    Will keep trying!

    Thanks for this. Worked for me first time :-) Are you able to subscribe to a remote laconica/identica user from your Dreamhost laconica install? I haven’t been able to for a while now, which kind of defeats the purpose of openmicroblogging. There’s a ticket filed in trac, but thought I’d ask here, too.

    Thanks.

  • JuanJose says:

    I was pretty sure that I had subscribed to a remote user in the past, although I can’t be certain. I’ll do a search for the ticket, or send me the url if you get the chance, and I’ll see about figuring out why it doesn’t work and fixing it.

    Yes, at one point it worked, but not in the 0.7.x series

    Here’s the ticket:

    Thanks for any help with this.

    Hello,

    This installer is great. I have a few questions about it though. How can I reach out to you directly? Do you have an email address I can use or is there a separate page on your website for inquiries?
