Installation wiki

Hello!

I'm new to OS ticket, and I am trying to make it work loally on macos-x.

Before being asked: php works fine, and I can run a local web, so the http server

also works fine.

I am facing the problem I guess everybody faces at first: the short_open_tag issue.

The page says "Depending on your server permission level - the directive can be set

on in php.ini, .htaccess or httpd.conf." Now let's see the wiki. Ok, it does not say

anything more than that.

Now I am in the upload directory in a terminal. When I look for php.ini, there is none.

httpd.conf is somewhere else, let's try .htaccess. I find this:

beru pascal$ find . -name "*htaccess*"

./include/.htaccess

./include/client/.htaccess

./include/pear/.htaccess

./include/staff/.htaccess

./setup/inc/.htaccess

beru pascal$

First thing: Which file should I edit? Is it one of the above? Or another file? If yes,

where is it located?

Now I let's suppose I know which file to edit. What should I add in it?

short_open_tag=1 ?

short_open_tag=TRUE ?

short_open_tag=YES ?

setenv short_open_tag 1 ?

export short_open_tag=1 ?

Anything else?

Or is it better to comment out the following lines ?

setup/install.php:}elseif(!ini_get('short_open_tag')) {

setup/upgrade.php:}elseif(!ini_get('short_open_tag')) {

I guess I should avoid that, but I don't know where to begin.

Thanks,

Pascal

php.ini directives would be covered by the PHP documentation available at http://www.php.net(http://www.php.net)

However the short version is that you would locate and open your php.ini file and then locate the short_open_tag directive and turn it to on. This is not an OSTicket thing.
