Read Step 5: Activate "short_open_tag"
edit /etc/php.ini .... do the rest, this is not an error, configure php to work and with "<?" (short tag) not only with long tag "<?php"
Also remember to configure or disable SELinux, see step 6

i have done the installation step by step but i failed to get the gui. when i open the browser and type the ip/webhtb/setup/index.php, i get to see the scripts. how to resolve this

At setup time, web setup, you don`t see the scripts? because is the same problem like at first person, read first posted reply and activate short_open_tag in php.ini
search for php.ini because some distros have more than one, one for apache, one for cli and one for cgi
sorry for late

how many times to repeat? set in /etc/php.ini the short_opentag to on
yes webhtb ask you the root password, that means is ok

I did following steps but
cp docs/webhtb /etc/init.d/webhtb chkconfig webhtb on whenever i want to start/stop webhtb nothing happen. Also there is no lock file created under /var/lock/subsys on startup, do we really this step? what is the purpose of this script

create classes, rules on specified interface, after try to start.
subsys will not be created anyway
check after setup done when you want to start if xml file in "XML" directory are created before start.

Salut am incercat sa pun webhtb pe fedora 18 am urmat pasii din tutorial exact cum scrie dar aceeasi eroare ca la Delicostea Daniel
Sorry, setup already done!" exit Cannot connect to MySQL with root id and root pass

Posted Reply

Salut din nou.am reusit in cele din urma sa scap de eroare.era din cauza apache si ordinea de instalare din acest tutorial.insa mai am o problema.cand accesez pagina de instalare numi vede placile de retea p1p1 si p2p1

goleste-i valorile variabilelor fisierului php de configurare si nu o sa mai zica ca setup..., iar faptul ca nu-ti vede placile de retea, asigura-te ca SELinux este disabled si short_open_tag este pe on in /etc/php.ini
