I can delete the config.php file, but then I just start over at square one.

I believe this issue can be rectified by potentially turning strict mode off for the mysql server, but I'd rather not do that.

Is the installation script failing, could I pass it somehow or is there something that really would limit the File Uploads? What else I could check. Permissions are normal 755 for folders and 644 for files (and it is not complaining about the file permissions anyhow, those are all "okay").

The existing site was installed to the root web folder. I am attempting to install the latest version of exponent (2.3.3) to a subdirectory which has been defined as a subdomain so that I can begin building a new site while leaving the existing site up and running.

I uploaded the extracted files to the subdirectory, changed file permissions as described in the installation instructions, created a new database, and then attempted to install 2.3.3 by visiting 'subdomain.mydomain.org/install/index.php'. I am displayed a page stating that the 'The site is currently down for maintenance.' In red bold letters 'Database is currently Off-line!'. And asks me for the administrator login.

If I attempt to hit the new site by visiting 'mydomain.org/subdirectory/install/index.php' it shows the existing site only with broken images.

This seems like a routing problem or something... I've tried changing the .htaccess file under the subdirectory by uncommenting RewriteBase and setting my subdirectory appropriately but it doesnt make a difference.

I need to be careful not to damage the live site that is in the parent folder.

Please help! Thank you...

I do not mind to make steps since it may be safer module-wise to upgrade to some early 2.x first and only then to the newest one.

The problem is that we have a database backup of 0.98 of a crashed server (it was hacked elsewhere, not in the Exp files) and we have all the files of Exponent but we don't have a working installation of 0.98 anywhere at the moment. I tried to install it to a test server just as it was before the server crashed but it seems that the php is newer and creates extra issues.

The site has very complicated structure, lot of content, so it is practically impossible to try to take the content and understand where all was by copy pasting from the sql backup file (almost 8000 rows).

I would be happy to get tips how to continue the rescue operation.

I have confirmed that the permissions are 755 for folders and 644 for files. I also checked with the sys admin and he confirmed that Apache is running as the user "nobody". On all my other sites that I'm successfully running Exponent, Apache runs as my user that uploaded the files via ftp. So is there any way to make Exponent work on this host or does the organization need to change hosts?
