PHP version and NGINX

installation
#1

Hey,

First, Sitecake seems like the exact thing I’m looking for, truly fantastic software.

But I can’t get it running… I’ve scoured the forums and I just want to have my fears confirmed or possibly a awesome tip to get started.

I’ve uploaded the “sitecake.php” and “/sitecake” folder next to my index.html in the root folder at two different webhosts (Loopia and Crystone).
At the first place I get at the other host I just get a blank page.

Host 1 Loopia: I can’t figure out the PHP version, but get “403 Forbidden - nginx/1.10.1”
http://test.skuggan.nu/sitecake.php

Host 2 Crystone: PHP version 5.3.3, will just return a blank page with empty source
http://smart.suelj.se/sitecake.php

Any thoughts? Trash both hosts and find another?

Best regards
//Skuggan

(Oh, I mixed up the URLs and can’t seem to edit post, so just switch em in your minds if you feel confused. Sorry bout that.)

I’m kinda spamming my own thread here but I just got contact with the 1 host, Loopia, who says the PHP version is PHP 5.6.24.

Sitecake needs at least PHP 5.4 - so this could be the problem of your Host 2 with PHP 5.3.

The one with 5.6 is fine - we running Sitecake with 5.6.22 and 5.6.25 without problems (on IIS).
Maybe no write permissions on web root? Sitecake needs it to create some couple of folders in the web root if you call it the first time.

Thanks for the input! And problem solved. For anyone interested:

I got in touch with the ISP who told me the site was on a Autobahn server and moved it to a UNIX server which made it work like a charm!
