Have attempted installing SS v2.0.1 and a couple of nightly builds. Each lead to the same basic problem, which is: an XML Parsing Error. Specifically:

XML Parsing Error: junk after document element
Location: http://www.mydomain.com/home/successfullyinstalled
Line Number 2, Column 1:<b>Notice</b>: Undefined index: trace in <b>/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/sapphire/main.php</b> on line <b>19</b><br />

I am running on a Plesk VPS environment, RH Fedora 4, PHP 5. When installing using the nightly builds I receive no mod_rewrite or AllowOverride error (e.g. rewritetest.php) it doesn't pop, but on the v2.0.1 version, I receive the mod_rewrite error check each time with the "proceed anyway" option.

However, using either version, I end up with the XML Parse error above when trying to access the site following install.

I have done various tests on .htaccess (redirect to google, etc.) that seem to prove it is working as advertised. Guessing I have about tried every combination of httpd.conf and vhosts.conf mod I can think of for AllowOverrides. I believe, on a VPS, the vhosts.conf overrides httpd.conf for the domain in question, but I'm not 100% certain.

I have tried AllowOverrides in the most generic sense (in httpd.conf) for any Directory or all the way down to httpdocs. In the vhost.conf, I've specified the path. I am fairly certain the vhosts.conf is being picked up, because for another CMS trial I needed open_basedir set to 'none' and using vhosts worked like a charm.

Anyway, from non-SS related searches, this seems to have some ties to .htaccess, but I'm not sure specifically what. I haven't seen or read any specific errors for this in regard to SS, so any thoughts / help would be appreciated. I'll keep trial / error'ing away until I get it working.

Thanks,
Jorgen

Yes ... ironic, I was just about to try again and this fixed it. Whew. Thought I'd tried about everything else and didn't even occur to change the php.ini error settings.

Now, onto the fun part.
