Newbie - cannot run installation

Howdy!

When I attempt to run the install, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: is_windows() in

Any suggestions?

TIA

Re: Newbie - cannot run installation

you sure you uploaded all of the files? that function is in txplib_misc.php which should be in your /textpattern/lib directory

Try to upload all files again, coz if it doesn’t regonize the funtion then there should be something messed up with your uploadings.

Cheers!

OK. I uploaded all files again. I still get the same error message. I am about to surrender and move to different software….

Re: Newbie - cannot run installation

I added a require statement in constants to require txplib_misc.php, now a setup folder is created and I get an error that $_SERVER is not defined…..

Re: Newbie - cannot run installation

i have no idea whats wrong then. either your server is messed or you’re failing to upload the files properly. i have installed TXP countless times and have had no issues. as for adding your own require statements you definitely shouldn’t be modifying the core files like that. where are you installing this? type of server? version of php/mysql?

If there isn’t that function as should be, then the files’ uploading progress is failed. In example, try to use different FTP-application, SmartFTP or another that has file size check functionality etc.

Cheers!
