text missing - unable to install

[marty80]

Hi to all,
I have a weird problem - there is no text on installation page. Simply - all translatable strings are missing (see screenshot).

- fresh installation of version 1.6
- SimpleXML installed and enabled (Revision: 1.151.2.22.2.39)
- PHP version 5.2.6
- language files OK
- directories writeable
- standard configuration of server (linux), see attached php_info

Any ideas? Thx for help.

Wow marty80, I've never seen this before. At the top of the install.php file, right after the include of functions.php, type in:

global $i18n;

Hi Chris,
thx for quick reply. But - no change Still no text in installation...
I'm sure, that problem is in my hosting, but I can not find "where the problem is"

Just an idea, go to:

admin/lang/en_US.php <-- open this file, under

/*
* For: install.php
*/

Do you see a bunch of strings in example:

"PHPVER_ERROR" => "<b>Unable to continue:</b> PHP 5.1.3 or greater is required, you have ",

- language files OK

Yes As I mentioned in my first post - language files are OK.

I have it figured out Marty - It needed two things:

at the top of the install.php file, I needed to specify $LANG = "en_US"; and I also had to CHMOD all your folders within /data/ and /backups/ to 777 because 775 wasn't working for your server.

Even though I've never seen this before, I added $LANG = "en_US"; to the install.php for good now as it would never hurt the install page, it just seems redundant.

If you want to retry the install on your own, download the latest beta release at box.net/get-simple
