Hello! I am trying to install Silverstripe on my Godaddy.com hosted site. When I point my browser to the default Siverstripe folder on the server I get..

Call to undefined function: posix_getpwuid() in /home/content/j/v/i/jvvvv/html/silverstripe-v2.0.2b/install.php on line 307

I can install Joomla no problems so I guess my environment should be OK?

Any Tips?

Thanks

Jason

It seems you don't have posix installed, which is odd... it is a normal php module enabled by default.

http://us.php.net/manual/en/ref.posix.php

You can get around this by editing install.php and making the function that calls posix_getpwuid() just return true.

It will mean that the installer won't be able to check if your file permissions are okay.

I had a hangup with Godaddy, then i checked the PHP settings and found it by default was set for PHP 4. The work around was to open open the ".htaccess" file at the root of the install and add the following:

AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
AddHandler x-httpd-php .php4

Save it back in the root in the Silverstrip folder. I added a copy of this file to this post.

Then I closed the browser and waited for the cache to recycle (roughly every hour they reset at godaddy.com) and installed perfectly. One more thing you might check is that it is MySQL 5.0 vs. 4.1. They give you options for both, but by default is 4.1.

I hope that can help you along.

I seem to be having the same problem at GoDaddy.com with my hosted account. I have made the change to .htaccess in the root directory, but I am still getting the same error.

Should I have copies of .htaccess elsewhere in the file tree?

I will try to make the change to the install.php to return true, but I am not a php expert, so any advice on how to do this would be helpful.

Thanks,

Marc
