Installing Tiki on 1&1
This is to note things that deviate from the regular installation instructions.http://1and1.com/
WebspaceExplorer
1and1 has a nice tool which lets you unzip the files on the server. This is much faster than uploading all the files.So when you download Tiki, get the .zip version
unzip on server via WebspaceExplorer can take 30-40 seconds
Make sure you have PHP5
You may get something like this:Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting '{' in tiki-install.php on line 48By default, it's still PHP Version 4.4.9 as of 2010-11-06
http://faq.1and1.com/scripting_languages_supported/php/5.html
With the proper .htaccess, it becomes 5.2.6
This will change over time (and perhaps from server to server but at the time of writing)
phpMyAdmin is 2.6.4
MySQL: 5.0.91
Database is not localhost
This is not uncommon. When you are in tiki-install.php, make sure to replace localhost with the value provided by 1and1File uploads
With default configuration, file uploads are broken. ref: Understanding EncodingYou can solve by
1- using 5.4 or 6.0
2- apply this patch:
http://tikiwiki.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tikiwiki?view=revision&revision=30000
3- use adodb, instead of pdo as per http://tiki.org/ReleaseNotes5.0#Database_Encoding_Issues
