Can't get past "populating database" screen
Hi,
I’m trying to get TXP installed on a free host with fsockopen() disabled. During the installation process I get the following errors:
http://img152.imageshack.us/my.php?image=newbitmapimagexo4.jpg (screenshot).
Here’s line 520 in /textpattern/lib/IXRClass.php:
$fp = (is_callable(‘fsockopen’)) ? fsockopen($this->server, $this->port, $errno, $errstr, 45) : false;
What can I do next? Is it possible to have the blog working without fsockopen() enabled? What would I miss in this case?
Cheers.

Re: Can't get past "populating database" screen
By this point in the setup, everything has been added to the database except for language strings. So, you should be able to login to /textpattern just fine. All you’ll need to do is manually download your lang file, upload it to the “lang” directory, and install it from the Language Preferences page.

Thanks.
But how does the lack of fsockopen() affect me?

No. TXP doesn’t need that function.

It simply means you won’t be able to make use of any features that rely upon XML-RPC, so that would be: remote posting, language updates from the server (you can do it manually with the file) and the button in the admin prefs that let’s you check for Txp updates.
