So long story short. I've put version five by hand on my server as the zip function is not working, and I can't install version five. I must be missing something, but I don't know what. I've left out one of the skins, is that an issue?

So you uploaded the files from the installer .zip to a sub-directory (could be /install), and uploaded the other zip file directly into the /install/src folder?

In order to get to the error, I need more specific error descriptions.

Be sure to use latest zip files, a lot of things are changing and what was good a week ago may be ancient by now.
Always use zips downloaded the very same day, because I sometimes make changes to database structure and mixing old with new will most certainly break things.

Sorry, this one is not on my side.

The server can't open a session, seems the session path isn't configured properly. See the double slash after the tmp folder? Should only be one, and the error occurs on a pretty generic php function (session_start).

Ok, what can I do to fix it, as I can't seem to find a file by that name in the tmp file.

Ok so I've installed it now, however, I can't create ratings yet, or I just can't even see the ratings tab.

Tried to reinstall it again, however I'm getting this error:

Internal Server Error
session_start(): open(/home/sites/peraltiagofanfiction.com/tmp//sess_4e8d0ugi9g1fembbvghge9cks0, O_RDWR) failed: No such file or directory (2)

[install/lib/base.php:2152] Base->error()
[install/lib/base.php:2831] session_start()
[install/index.php:41] Preview->render()
[install/lib/base.php:1776] {closure}()
[install/lib/base.php:1599] Base->call()
[install/index.php:61] Base->run()

The last time that I couldn't install it, I used this trick to fix it:

<?php
ini_set('session.save_path',realpath(dirname($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']) . '/../session'));
session_start();

This code is placed at the very beginning of index.php, but it won't work this time.

I've fixed this issue and now it's installed as I put the in the install index.php as well, however, I do believe that the issue should be fixed in the near future.  πŸ˜€

Do me a favor, create a file called whatever.php (I mean whatever you call it, just .php), and put this code in there:

<?php
phpinfo();
session_start();
?>

Run it, see if it drops an error all the way to the bottom, and please tell me what the info says about TMPDIR in the box Environment. The same path should be listed a few times, so should be hard to miss πŸ™‚

For testing, you need both the installer and the source package, links are in the wiki entry.

The instructions below the links are not very detailed yet, for testing use a folder, let's call it test/, create an sub-folder /test/install, unpack the installer and upload into this subfolder. Then upload the source pack as a .zip file into the test/install/src folder and start the installer by going to /test/install in your browser.

If you copy your stories structure to test/stories/ or have stories in the database, you can convert the old data risk-free, there will be no changes to the old stuff.
