Summary	0010652: Clean install returns errors if Mantis installed in root
Description	If the URL to mantis is simply a domain or a domain with subdomains (like https://mantis.int.domain.com/), the installation will complete successfully however Mantis will lose formatting/images and will return the following errors when you visit it: SYSTEM WARNING: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: missing ) at offset 111 SYSTEM WARNING: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: missing ) at offset 84 SYSTEM WARNING: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: missing ) at offset 111 SYSTEM WARNING: preg_match() [function.preg-match]: Compilation failed: missing ) at offset 84 If you then move your Mantis install to a subfolder (making the above URL to Mantis now look like https://mantis.int.domain.com/mantis/), everything will return to normal. Note: I'm running Mantis over SSL, hence the https. I haven't tried it over http.
Additional Information	I've had to do the following to solve it (in config_inc.php): $g_path = 'https://mantis.int.domain.com/'; $g_short_path = '/'; $g_absolute_path = 'C:/servers/XDEV/zdata/htdocs/example/mantis/'; With that, I can access Mantis error-free even when installed in my root folder by going to https://mantis.int.domain.com/ I'm thinking the errors are caused by the default values the above variables take (in config_defaults_inc.php): $g_path = isset( $t_url ) ? $t_url : 'http://www.example.com/mantisbt/'; $g_short_path = $t_path . '/'; $g_absolute_path = dirname( FILE ) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR; If this is done on purpose, I would suggest adding the above variables to the installer and asking users to fill them out before initiating the install to prevent post-install errors.
Tags	No tags attached.

andy_mbt 2009-06-30 01:30 reporter ~0022315	Correction: I removed [$g_absolute_path = 'C:/servers/XDEV/zdata/htdocs/example/mantis/';] from config_inc.php and my Mantis install still works, so I guess only the other 2 variables need to be configured manually to solve the above issue.

The error is in the in config_defaults_inc.php The calculation of $t_path should move the lines from out of its current if-statement if ( '/' == $t_path \|\| '\' == $t_path ) { $t_path = ''; } to just before $t_path = rtrim($t_path, '/');

XanaduNWH 2010-03-23 21:41 reporter ~0024888	Is the URL https://mantis.int.domain.com/ defined by vhost? In your URL root,make a file to output the dirname( FILE ) . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR value. maybe, you should define the documentroot in vhost.
