TYPO3 Core

Some time, after some minutes, Typo3 Install show:
-------------------
Database Error
No database selected

Else, if I delete ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL file, it show the default Install Tool lock:
-------------------
The Install Tool is locked.

Fix: Create a file typo3conf/ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL
This file may simply be empty.

For security reasons, it is highly recommended to rename
or delete the file after the operation is finished.

Also another old installation now have problem in : http://site/typo3/install/

After login, only this menu working

3: Update Wizard
5: All Configuration
8: phpinfo()
9: Edit files in typo3conf/
10: About

The other create infinite loop as first installation

1: Basic Configuration
2: Database Analyser
4: Image Processing

Thanks

• PROBLEM IDENITIFIED !!! **

In: /typo3/sysext/install/mod/class.tx_install.php

This :

$test = @imagettftext($im, t3lib_div::freetypeDpiComp(20), 0, 10, 20, $text_color, PATH_t3lib."/fonts/vera.ttf", 'Testing Truetype support');

create infinite loop for install tool.

I have commented this function and it works.

I have updated gd-2.0.33 on Wed Aug 08 2007 for SECURITY fix.

Is this general problem?

• SOLVED ** by changing in << function isTTF($phpinfo='') >> (typo3/sysext/install/mod/class.tx_install.php)

$im = @imagecreate (300, 50);

to:

$im = imagecreatetruecolor(300, 50);

Is this a good solution? Can you add this in next release?

PS: This singular PHP script, using @imagecreate, work very well:

header("Content-type: image/png");
$im = @imagecreate(100, 50)
or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream");
$background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255);
$text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 233, 14, 91);
imagestring($im, 1, 5, 5, "A Simple Text String", $text_color);
imagepng($im);
imagedestroy($im);
?>

Hey Sim,

I think (and hope) that this will be fixed with the new installer Thomas Hempel is currently developing. The installer right now will be replaced by the new installer in the next alpha (see http://www.typo3-unleashed.net/ for news on that).

Hi,
pls check also minior problem (not blocking), after fix install problem, at :

Install Tool -> 4: Image Processing -> 5: GD library functions

Selecting this options, Intall Tool loops as precedent descripted problem.
I don't know if there are any similar install loop problems, in order of GD. Sure these aren't blocking.

Thanks

Correct, because nobody created a patch and submitted it to the Core list. You can do this, Sim, check it out:
http://typo3.org/teams/core/core-mailinglist-rules/

@Benjamin Fischer: This is wrong. The patch has already been sent to the Core list and even discussed on the bugs list.

@Franz Koch: Correct, after my note here :)

@Benjamin Fischer: Yes, after your first post to this issue in September 2007.

Thanks this has got me up and running.

Typo3 Core refuses to implement the patch!

You must solve this on the LINUX server.

See
http://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=34013

Do not use gd.so, which causes the endless loop!
You must use gd-bundled.so instead of it.

looks like this is a wont fix? can the bug be closed

Resolved, won't fix.

This is not a TYPO3 but a Linux distribution specific gd problem and should be fixed there.
