Hi all,

All the best for '09 ;-)

I installed the ZINA module under drupal according to guidelines, which basically is "extract .tar.gz file and put it under /sites/". I chose to put it in /sites/all to make it available to all sites I might put up.

The installation / activation as such went well, it is detected in the Modules section and I can activate it. I can even enter the first admin page. But then the shit hits the fan... :-(

I can't do anything beyond that. What I noticed, is that the URL now has /music/ in it, every time I click a link (FYI, running on IIS6 with no clean URLs). Even deleting that or replacing it with /modules/zina/zina doesn't do a thing for me; I keep getting "Page cannot be found" errors.

Nowhere in the installation guide (if you can call it that: 'install according to CMS instructions' or sumsing like that) does it mention that I have to add a virtual directory somewhere, or if I have to first install ZINA in standalone modus or whatever...

So what am I missing here, guys?

Much obliged & thanks for ur time!
Jaap.

OH, forgot to mention that I already have ZINA running ok on another CMS instance (PostNuke) without any problems. Also, I put the zina folder in /sites/all/modules, in case you're wondering ;-).

I'm having the exact same problem. I'm running it on a Linux system, PHP5,

it looks like it's trying to use clean urls with them turned off, /music/ is the default choice to be used with clean URLs on, except my server does not have it turned on... AND I CANT USE THEM

It looks like enabling clean urls will fix this problem.

Under the advanced page on the settings (can you get to that page?), go the the advanced section on the bottom and try turning off " Clean URL hack"...

Hi Ryan,

Nope... it's disabled by default and cannot be turned on on Drupal since it detects that it's running on IIS6 with PHP528 and MySQL 5 (IIS being the deciding factor here).

The hack is turned off ("False") in the page that is displayed:
http://www.drupal.mysite.net/index.php?q=music/&l=20

As you can see, it doesn't attempt to use clean URLs anyway.

When I hover over *any* link or press the 'Update' button, I see that /music/ is inserted:
http://www.drupal.mysite.net/music/index.php?l=21&q=music

... but still it doesn't attempt to use clean URLs.

I have tried adding a virtual directory 'music' pointing to Zina's root but that doesn't do anything for me. I really want to get it to work as it does on my PostNuke site, which is absolutely magnificent..!!

TTFN

Alright, I think I found it.

In the meantime, if you use drupal's clean urls, it should work.

I'll try to test and release in the next day or two.

Hi Ryan,

Glad to see you're confident ;-)

Just for the sake of being complete, a little recap of events...

System: Windows server 2003 (R1) with IIS 6, PHP 528 and MySQL 5.
1> I downloaded the version designated for use with Drupal. Drupal is running fine, be it with -no- clean URLs simply cuz I'm not running Apache as server.

2> As per Drupal's instructions, I unzipped the tarball and decided to put it in /sites/all to make it available for all. Surely, it shows up in my default website.

3> As per Drupal's instructions, I enabled the module without any issues: it immediately shows up in my navigation block.

4> I go to the administration pages, choose and select the settins for Zina. Surely, I get the introduction text with the 'Artist One Demo' folder. Nowever, here the fun ends. Clicking the URL introduces the /music/ addition to the URL, with still no clean URLs as the ?/q=etcetera still appears in it.

5> When selecting to change Zina's settings, I end up in the initial config page with all the sub-URLs that point to the various 'chapters' like Password, Paths etc. That particular page shows OK, and -no- "/music/" appears in the URL. However you've guessed it: hoovering over each and any link, I see /music/ being added to the URLs in the browser's statusbar.

So, My immediate (and only) conclusion is, that the 'clean URL hack' that shows as 'False' in the initial configuration page, is in fact set to 'True' without any chance of me turning it off. But, you're the expert here so I await your verdict... ;-) In the meantime, I have set up Zina as a separate website so I can still enjoy my music everywhere. However you can imagine that embedding it into my drupal by far is my preferred choice.

I hope this helps you further...

Thanks for your time & effort!
Jaap.

Hi Ryan!

Fixed -- Indeed.
Just installed it, and it works right out-of-the-box with the builtin Artist One demo.

Thanks for the quick fix!!
Jaap.
