PATH_INFO on Godaddy using PHP 5.2.8
Permalink
I am having a problem trying to install C5 on Godaddy Hosting; however I already have another website running C5 on Godaddy without a problem, both sites have a share Linux hosting they are not free accounts and they are pretty much exactly the same, but the PHP version that is installed.
the website that has no problem with C5 has a PHP Version 5.2.5
you can check it here http://sve3d.com/info.php
and
the website that I am trying to set up and is giving me the PHP _INFO error has a PHP Version 5.2.8
you can check it here

After talking over the phone to GoDaddy for 73:35 minutes, they said that the problem is that C5 does not work with the new version of PHP 5.2.8.
This does not sound right to me.
Has anyone had a similar experience trying to install C5 on a PHP 5.2.8 environment?
Is there a solution for this?
I would really appreciate any help that I can get, I have a client breathing on my neck waiting for this to be fixed.

Thanks for your reply Remo, I had look on old posts but I can not find anything useful for my problem, is there any other ideas or documentation that will help me to solve this problem? I am willing to pay if it is necessary. i just called GoDaddy again after reading your post and they said that their servers are correct and since C5 is a third party software there is nothing they can do.
My Client has 8 websites hosted with GoDaddy and suggesting him to change hosts is not an option, Please i really need some help here.

didn't really look at it much but if you look at the configure command
there are some differences there

Thank you for your replies, unfortunately there are not useful postings on the forums regarding this issue and GoDaddy is not helping much. Great CMS but installation seems to be very tricky.
I would say, working with GoDaddy is rather tricky. Installing Concrete5 is very easy if you have a properly configured server.
Did you read through this:

A link to ExpressionEngine, just to show you that these issues aren't really related to Concrete5, it's a common GoDaddy problem:

Thank you Remo, I finally fix it!!
Yes, it seems GoDaddy does not set up their servers the same way every time.
Just as a suggestion.. I found a Wizard that Expression Engine offers for download; it is a small file that test the server settings and database before you have to upload the whole package.

i could have sworn there was a 1 file upload to test your install made specifically for C5
ill have to look for it,
Mike
(P.S. i think that the install page needs more checks for the install anyone agree?)

c5 does all the checks as well!
Problem is that it only executed them when you installed c5 on the first server..
@Mike: yes the check for PATH_INFO could be improved but this is difficult, since the fix for it is different depending on the server.
It might also be useful to be able to run the checks later once it is installed. It's possible that this is already possible - didn't check that..

how did you fix this? i am stumped!
Hi Michael,
Here is what I did. I have actually done it twice and has worked perfectly.
I hope it helps you!

Problem is that this url doesn't work:
http://joefloridays.com/info.php/pathInfo...
this is how path_info is passed to the c5 dispatcher.. It's essential for c5 to be able to pass information to a php script this way
Did you check some old forum topics? I think you aren't the first person with godaddy problems..
