[Koha-devel] Installing 3.0 on FreeBSD - Web Installer Errors

[Thomas Sewell]

I've been struggling to get Koha 3.0 installed on FreeBSD 7.0. I know, a
glutton for punishment, right?

After wading through the installation process (including installing
additional cpan modules and rewriting the installed sample koha-conf.xml and
koha-httpd.conf files to use the right file paths, since the installer
didn't seem to configure them based on what the makefile used), I've finally
run into an issue that I can't find enough information to solve.

My understanding is that the web installer is supposed to install the tables
into the database. At least, there is nothing in the koha database at this
point.

When going to
http://intranet.example.net:8000/cgi-bin/koha/installer/install.pl I get the
following html message:

production mode - trapped fatal error

And the following lines in koha-error_log:

I can connect to mysql using the information in koha-conf.xml:
`mysql -u kohaadmin --port 3306 --host localhost -p koha` connects fine.

I have p5-DBD-mysql-4.006 installed (among other things).

On a possibly unrelated issue, when running:
/usr/local/bin/zebrasrv -f /etc/koha/koha-conf.xml
All I get is:
17:39:54-25/09 [fatal] Unknown element 'include' in config
/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml

I'm currently stuck on both of those, so any help or suggestions would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Thomas
