Hi, I've followed all the installation instructions and rechecked them several times, as well as tried all the solutions for people being directed to a blank page instead of an Installation menu during this step.
When I navigate to any of the Omeka directories I get wingdings-esque nonsense instead of arriving at an Installation screen.
I've double checked .htaccess, enabled mod_rewrite... I'm at a loss.
Also confused because I successfully installed this a few months ago and am now completely unable to?
There's a bug that relating to data compression that occurs in the latest version of PHP. We're aware of this, and a fix is scheduled for the next version of Omeka (1.1).
In the meantime, try removing the following lines from your paths.php file:
// Set the zlib config values if the extension has been loaded.
if (extension_loaded('zlib')) {
ini_set('zlib.output_compression', 'On');
ini_set('zlib.output_compression_level', '5');
}
Does that work?
I had the same trouble and this fixed it. Thanks.
If anyone is still getting this error, please upgrade to Omeka 1.1. We fixed this bug in that release.
Best,
Jeremy
