the new OpenScholar betaversion 11 became really a neightmare for me. After I first upgraded my previous installation, the themes behave weird, the admin theme for the registered user dont display any create site option, and any menu to create anything anymore it was just the account and its data visible, after trying to tweak a little bit in the modul settings, the site was down completely. I decided to try a completly new installation and became error alerts for several files in the include folder f.i. the database.mysql.inc line 135. Even with several attemps on two different webspacecs I was not able to install a working Openscholar beta 11.
When I finally tried to delete all files from my web it turns out that some files in the sites directory could not be deleted at all it was not even possible to change the properties.
I is really a pitty, since I really like the concept of OS. But beta11 seems to me so awfully buggy that I fear I cant use it any longer.

This is all a LDAP-authenticated OS-User can see after a successfull Login:
"lehrer

View
Edit
Signups

Site Membership Summary"

After Login no Button to create a Site for the authenticated User could be found and also no option to logout. If I take a look at the blocks of the available themes, none of them are active in any theme at all. That all seems to me quite crazy and far from being usable.
It would be great if anyone could help me, who ever knows what might be wrong.

fahl5,

The table does not exist errors sound like a bad installation to me. Are you sure the OS installation completed?

How did you enable LDAP? The recommended way is to enabled the ldap integration and openscholar ldap modules.

It is not only not completed but even not at all possible to complete. So I gave up my attempts to install OS on this server, which is a pitty, since it has the current php, pretty much webspace and good performance. Since I had just a little bit more luck with another account (you also answered on my problems I had on this server to).

> it has the current php

That might be part of your problem. We use some modules that aren't up to date with the newest php. The current version of PHP is not supported and causes OpenScholar to behave in unexpected ways. You should downgrade to php 5.2. You're not the first person to try use 5.3, so maybe we need to advertise this requirement better.

Status: Active » Closed (fixed)

my last fresh installation does not show any problems with php 5.3 yet. The css and java optimization fixed my layout problems.
