Hello,

I just deployed Joomla via the Web Platform Installer (Command Line) and when browsing to the site it just displays the error below. This is definitely a Joomla error page and not just the standard IIS 500 error. I've re-installed but the results are the same.

Some research leads me to believe the template it is trying to use is not compatible with the version installed?

Is anyone else able to install Joomla via the WebPi with success?

Is there any more detailed Joomla error logging I can look into why this is failing to load after deployment?

How can I see what version of Joomla is being installed and the version of templates it is trying to use?

Please run the Forum Post Assistant to provide the information to help us try and resolve the issue.
Just in case this throws up anything specific and therefore useful from the server configuration.
Please follow the instructions in the post and the program pack closely.

Hello,

The 2 posts were separate, unrelated issues, thus the separate postings.

Issue #1 is WebPiCmd detecting SQL mode instead of MySQL mode - which appears to be an issue with WebPi itself as I posted.

Issue #2 is Joomla displaying a custom 500 error once a deployment is successful.

Apologies for the confusion so I assume your other thread is resolved then if you have completed the installation?

The cmdline parameter answer file issue is being addressed with Microsoft.

The 500 error issue is still present when we deploy without using an answer file.

I'm beginning to think it's an issue with the PHP version or config on this environment...

The overall validation for Joomla use on the server configuration is stating it is only valid for Joomla 1.5.

There is nothing immediately apparent from the FPA that would suggest any issue (other than the usual Windows annihilation of permissions!) that could cause a problem. So it may therefore be underlying settings/configuration that are not picked up within the FPA.

In theory with the main components you have installed you should be able to install Joomla 3.0 too!

I do not know for sure but try the installation with the 2.5.8 version of Joomla and it might make a difference (probably it will not).

What template are you using for this site? Are you getting the same result for both front and back end of Joomla?

Your second post asked about error logging you can check the joomla_root/logs/ directory and also the server logs themselves. C:\WINDOWS\Temp\php_errors.log and a separate IIS server log if it has one.

Hello,

This was being caused by the files being hosted on a remote fileshare apparently...

Go to /libraries/joomla/filesystem/path.php

Work around by editing the file above and making the following change:

function clean($path, $ds=DS)
{
$path = trim($path);

return $path; // <-- Fixes issue with UNC paths

if (empty($path)) {
$path = JPATH_ROOT;
} else {
// Remove double slashes and backslahses and convert all slashes andbackslashes to DS
$path = preg_replace('#[/\\\\]+#', $ds, $path);
}
return $path;
}

Ermm, not too sure about that to be honest!

That might (I stress might) be something you could handle within the web.config file.
Editing the core Joomla files is never recommended as you never know what knock on effect it might have elsewhere and you potentially could overwrite that change every time Joomla is updated - which is fine if you are the Administrator of the site etc, but would be a major issue for a client not knowing their way around the site/issue.

Just as a complete shot in the dark error_reporting is set to -1 which means everything is reported. Try setting this in Joomla Global Configuration ⇒ Server ⇒ Error reporting to Maximum, Simple or Ultimately None. and see if this makes any difference. This obviously only affects this one site.
Or
Alternatively set it in the php.ini file on the server to
Code:
 error_reporting = E_ALL & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_STRICT
OR
Code:
display_errors = Off

I have referred the issue to the developers/bug squad to see if someone more used to these issues could provide comment and Sam Moffat replied

Looks like they're running Joomla on a UNC path. There was a commit somewhere a while back to fix that up in a few different places, perhaps this is just one more place it needs to be fixed. Perhaps ask them to check with 3.0 and see if that changes anything. This isn't an IIS or PHP specific issue but a file pathing issue. The same path on Apache would likely trigger similar problems. The usual work around is to either assign the UNC path a drive allocation or mount it on an existing NTFS file system (similar to how UNIX OS's mount different drives/network shares). (Note: I'm assuming that this feature hasn't been removed by Microsoft. They do that from time to time).
