This happens after the installer finishes uploading the files and I go to http://www.file-portal.net/ess20 to continue with the web based install. I deleted the DB tables and the old files from test 7 build, and still the same.

First, this Contentteller forum is now obsolete. Please post any Contentteller related questions only on the new forum at http://community.contentteller.com

Sounds like that something in .htaccess is causing this problem. Try to rename .htaccess to something else and see if that helps.

There is a .htaccess file in the ess20 subfolder (the one from CT I suppose) and one in the root of the site that gets recreated if I try to delete it. I tried deleting the one created by contentteller from the ess20 subfolder, and moving it to the root. I still get the same error in both cases.
Ironically, "the integration with vBulletin 3.7" doesn't seem to be working at contentteller.com. I am logged into the CMS, but the forum says I can't post.

And if you completely delete the .htaccess file in the ess20 folder? The installer (cadmin/cinstall.php) seems to work though.

Because it is not integrated , The members area module is even independent from the users module.

Here's what my error log says:

[27-Jul-2008 16:41:06] PHP Warning: Zend Optimizer for PHP 5.2.x cannot be found (expected at '/usr/local/Zend/lib/Optimizer-3.0.1/php-5.2.x/ZendOptimizer.so') - try reinstalling the Zend Optimizer in Unknown on line 0

It doesn't seem to work at all. Regardless of whether I delete CT's .htaccess file or not. I can access the cadmin just fine though?

Hmm.. look like you left an older Zend encoded file from one of the previous preview releases. Maybe it is the best if you delete the entire ess20 directory and then re-upload RC0.

That's the problem. I already deleted the folder twice (and the database tables). I don't get it. I'll try again or maybe use the archived versions.

Maybe an encrypted file remains inside the executable based installer for RC0?

Odd. After thinking about it, you shouldn’t even get an internal server error because of Zend encoded files. If you run Zend encoded files without installed Zend Optimizer you should only see an error message like “Zend Optimizer not installed. This file was encoded by the Zend Guard. In order to run it, please install Zend Optimizer (available without charge), version 3.0.0 or later”

I will try a test installation with the .exe version later and see if I can reproduce this problem.

What's weird is that I can login to http://www.file-portal.net/ess20/cadmin, but going to the frontpage (http://www.file-portal.net/ess20) fails.
