UPDATE: Joe explains the (very easy) solution to my problem in his reply.

 

Hi everyone,

I just moved to 5.0rc10 and everything works fine

unmenu is updated and works flawlessly but for one (important) feature:

I download and install packages but on reboot they show undownloaded and obviously uninstalled.

 

I should say that in my script I had the line:

cd /boot/packages && find . -name '*.auto_install' -type f -print | sort | xargs -n1 sh -c 

but when i uncommented it after installing and verifying in the 5.0rc10 installation i get a scrambled html page in normal main home page. so i commented it again and the main page is back to normal.

 

I also noticed that i have the \boot\custom\etc\rc.d directory which contains a file 'S10-install_custom_packages' that contains the aforementioned line of code so everything should work fine. But still, packages show undonloaded,uninstalled.

 

Should I wipe the /boot/packages (which is actually full of package files) directory and try from the start? Any other possible solution?

 

 

Your issue is simple.  Do not install "php" as it is not configured to use "short tags" OR, edit the php.ini file to enable them.

If you installed some other version of php, then you'll need to fix its php.ini file in the same way.

 

You un-commenting the line in the go script stops all auto_installs.  It is the line that performs the install-on-reboot.  You'll need that.

Thanks for the help with php. I commented the line in the go script because I thought that its existence in \boot\custom\etc\rc.d made it obsolete. obviously i was wrong. As always, thanks a lot Joe.
