Hi, I try to emerge mambo-2.5.2.3 from portage and after stetting up mysql and finish installing, mambo's admin-interface doesn't work correct. 1st: there is top-down menu after login to admin-page 2rd: there is no possibility to install templets 3rd: the standard page get no default-templet A friend of mine has been using mambo for about 1 years - but not on Gentoo system. He suggest to try the original source package from source. After un-emerge mambo and load the source from www.mamboportal.com, extract it and place it in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/, setting up DB and configure it, the described problems above doesn't occurs. I take a look in the ebuild, written for portage. The is a notice to install mambo only with an installed php version, which was compiled with "mysql, zlib and xml" support. But the current stable php-4.4.0 release doesn't support the "zlib" flag. Can you check the ebuild please? Thx, Ben Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. install mambo 2. set it up 3. have a look at the admin page Actual Results: 1st: there is top-down menu after login to admin-page 2rd: there is no possibility to install templets Expected Results: show the top-down menu, so I can configure mambo, e.g. install new templet
Admin menu works here, templates install just fine. Perhaps your directory permissions are incorrect? Re zlib - updated ebuild.
> Admin menu works here, templates install just fine. Perhaps your directory > permissions are incorrect? I try several portage installation, but with no effect. Only install sources from mamboportal.com get the admin menu working. How can I check the directory permissions to check it out? Thx, Ben
Please describe step-by-step how you install mambo. Alternatively, catch me on IRC (rl03)
Please post the info and reopen.

Hi Renat Lumpau, sorry for the delay. Below my step-by-step installation using portage: 1. emerge mambo 2. run "ebuild /var/db/pkg/www-apps/mambo-4.5.2.3/mambo-4.5.2.3.ebuild config" and add DB and DB_USER 3. Restart Apache 4. Login to mambo and go through the web-install, and create configuration.php 5. Set permissions: chown apache:apache configuration.php chmod u+w configuration.php 6. Login to mambo/administrator/ After this steps the "admin menu" doesn't appear. Furhtermore the standard templet isn't installed. I add four Snapshots with mambo-direct-install and mambo-portage-install. Thx, Ben
most definitely works here. In step 3 of the web installer, did you chmod your directories to something? can you paste the output of ll YOUR_MAMBO_DIR and ll YOUR_MAMBO_DIR/templates ?
In step 3 I leave the permission defaults. I can't remember the default values.

Your permissions appear to be fine. Perhaps there's an issue with your Apache configs. Check your Apache logs in /var/log/apache[2]/error_log and access_log and see if there's anything funny going on. Are images displayed during the online install? Are you starting with an empty / non-existent mambo directory (perhaps your configuration.php is incorrect)? What happens if you navigate directly to YOUR_SITE/mambo/templates/rhuk_solarflare_ii/images/powered_by.png ? (check your log files after you try this)

I can't check it, sorry. > Are images displayed during the online install? if you mean the web-install, yes, I see images and a designed webinterface. > Are you starting with an empty / non-existent mambo directory (perhaps your > configuration.php is incorrect)? I start from fresh mambo install. But with no success.

Interessting form me is the fact that mambo works, after downloading the package direct from www.mamboportal.com --> extract it, configure db, running web-installer. I try it using MamboV4.5.2-Stable.tar.gz Thx, Ben
EDIT: Trying to access http://ip-address/mambo/templates/rhuk_solarflare_ii/images/powered_by.png shows the powerd_by.pnp picture into my web-browser. apache_error.log get NO entries, while connection to this page/image.
Is $mosConfig_live_site = 'http://Server/mambo'; exactly what you have in your configuration.php? If so, that's your problem. That should be something like http://CORRECT_URL_TO_YOUR_SERVER/mambo To verify - browse to the front page of your (broken) gentoo mambo install, and view the HTML source. Look for any image file, like powered_by.png, and check if the URL is correct. I have a strong suspicion it won't be.
Hi Renat Lumpau, you are right. That was my problem. Thanks for you support regarding this issue. I set this bug report to FIXED. Many thanks. Ben
