That's interesting.
My Fiddler doesn't pick up FireFox, so I fired up IE.
Now everything loads fine.

>What does view source
show you?

 

Blank.

 

Pop-up window has address of:
domain/xerte_ot/edit.php?template_id=6

 

>Install fiddler and track what PHP runs

Already have it. I'll run it.

I actually found a spot in the ISP control panel to add MIME.



Tried:



text/xml

and 

text/plain

for the 4 types.



Still get a blank window on Create.

.rlm

.rlo

.rlt

 

I think

 

As text/xml

 

And for purely teasing

What
MIME types need to be set on server for XOT?

No

 

That’s the need to set
mimetypes on the server.

And then rename index.php to be
index.notphpanymore and rename switch.txt to index.php

Oh no you’ve got in installed
version, and the code is sitting there all ready and willing to be used, its
just you’ve not got LDAP on the server.

 

Hence the white screen.

 

The simplest answer is to
 look at switch.txt in the root, search through it for the typed in
username / passwords (its not a big file, search with the wheely mouse) and
change those.

It must ahve been reusing that temp txt file.



Clean install, bingo.



Unfortunately, entering signin info on home page takes me to blank page, not 

even any underlying code.



Getting closer though. :-)

It builds a temp database.txt
in setup, before copying it into root when it is done.

 

So have a look in the setup
folder.

 

But I’d say start again

Deleted database.php and then went through the install again from page 1
watching for it's point of creation.



When created, I dl'ed and got this:



* Database table prefix

*/

$xerte_toolkits_site->database_table_prefix ="test";

?>



I had changed the prefix value, so I'm not sure where it is re-pulling it from.



Rip it all off the server and start clean?

So
I missed supplying something on page 2?



Can I restart the setup procedure without beggaring something up?

Page 2 uses your admin
details to create the database, and page 2 doesn’t make an account, it relies
on one already being there.

 

Page 3 / 4 uses the details
supplied on page 2

After
some thrashing aout I managed to get past page2.php of the install and create
the tables on my hosting ISP.



On page3.php I left most everything default, but on submission I get a slew of:

Can't connect to MySQL server on 'localhost'

errors.



Pretty sure I created tables on my ISP, as I do not have mySQL installed
locally. ;-)
