Drupal 5.X Installation problems 'mbstring' error

rosgar - June 10, 2007 - 15:37

Using Free Hostia to test the latest version of Drupal 5.x. (using free account)
-I think the htaccess is impossible, getting errors so I deleted it...
-The 'Multibyte string input conversion in PHP is active and must be disabled...' So i paste this code inside the settings.php...

ini_set('mbstring.http_input','pass');
ini_set('mbstring.http_output','pass');

and everything's now working. Except the clean URLS. lol. Can I live without that?

yes you can live without clean urls, however, you may find other serious limitations on a "free" host. They are typically more restricting then a shred host.

Yeah.. too restrictive...

If you're using imagecache module.

'Imagecache will not operate properly if Clean URLs is not enabled on your site.'

no

with freehostia .htaccess WORKS...except the followsymlinks option which you can just comment out.
#Options +FollowSymLinks

like that. Otherwise i dont have problems with freehostia...EXCEPT that their myswl is on another host and thus drupal is kind of slow.

Well...

thanks! mysql is on another host? so that's the reason why it is slow, and also their Control Panel

Problem Solved For All I Hope
