When I click continue to step 3 in the installer i get this error.

Fatal error Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/***/public_html/gallery/install/steps/AdminUserSetupStep.class on line 35

I tried useing the latest cvs and got this error at this spot. so i went and got the released beta 2 and i recieved this error as well. The cvs i got like 3-4 days before beta 2 was released installed no problem on my testing subdomain. Also all test run in step 2 were successful.

please fill out the support template, give us more information about your system (php version, platform, webserver, ...). thanks.
this seems to be a very odd error related to a buggy server setup.

PHP version 4.3.10
MySQL version 4.0.22-standard
Apache version 1.3.33 (Unix)
Machine Type i686
Operating system Linux
Kernel version 2.6.10-1.771_FC2smp

is that enough? I am still running my cvs version i got about 4 or 5 days ago now. I was thinking it might have been a recent change that is causing the problem.

Hrm. I made a change pretty recently that could have caused this. I'm not sure how though. Can you do me a favor and add the following line to AdminUserSetupStep.class on line 35:

printf("<pre>%s</pre>", print_r($galleryStub, 1));

Then when you get to that point, it'll dump out some text that you can cut/paste here. That'll give me an idea of what's going wrong.

Also, can you reproduce it if you click the "start over" button in the upgrader?

I get the following if i add that line right before 35.

Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/thedark/public_html/testgallery/gallery2/install/steps/AdminUserSetupStep.class:72) in /home/thedark/public_html/testgallery/gallery2/install/index.php on line 74


Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/thedark/public_html/testgallery/gallery2/install/steps/AdminUserSetupStep.class on line 36

but if i replace the line with that i just get the following at the top of the page but the rest of it shows correctly.
Warning: session_start(): Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/thedark/public_html/testgallery/gallery2/install/steps/AdminUserSetupStep.class:72) in /home/thedark/public_html/testgallery/gallery2/install/index.php on line 74
im pretty sure i get the same effect if i just remove that line. however when i type in a admin password and continue on the next page i get another error

If you could contact me i could give u temporary access to the gallery/ftp to take a look at it.

I'm not sure that it is a configuration issue. Did you try clicking the "start over" button? Did you get the same error? (comment out the line I asked you to add when you click "start over"). If that doesn't fix it, I'll ftp in and take a look when I get a chance.

See more info about this problem in this topic.
deathsol, it would have been more appropriate to post your new information about this problem here in this topic.

sorry about that i forgot the name of the post and i didnt think of doing a search for my own topics.

i get this error when i click start over. when i have the code
printf("<pre>%s</pre>", print_r($galleryStub, 1));
i also get it when i dont have the code in there.

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/thedark/public_html/gallery2/install/steps/WelcomeStep.class on line 50

so here's something odd.. some other topic mentioned php's register_globals setting so I was playing around with it turned on. With register_globals on when I click "start over" I get the error you mention above...
deathsol, try putting this in a .htaccess file in your gallery2 dir:
php_flag register_globals off
and see if it makes any difference..

I tried that and it seemed to work just fine. Start over now works and i can also get past the parts where i was recieving the errors. Tommrow I will go through it and see if i notice anything else. I dont have the time to go through it all at this moment.

I checked in a fix for this. Get the next nightly and you can turn register globals back on, if you want.
