Adding Projects Bug

[BrianH]

I've been running into quite a few problems already and fixing some of the errors myself. However, I've run into something that I have never seen before. I'll explain my setup real quick and then the problem.

I have Collabtive working inside of an Ubuntu 12.04 Server setup with LAMP, which is running on it's own Virtual Machine via VirtualBox. I had to manually fix the install.php file from TYPE=MyISAM to ENGINE=MyISAM for the installer to work properly. Afterwards, I was able to login and view the Collabtive Desktop.

The problem: I cannot add a new Project. I enter the information and when I click "Add", a form notification pops up completely off the browser window saying "Please fill out this field" and doesn't allow me proceed.

Any thoughts?

I just noticed another problem that might clear things up a bit. Why is there 2 different websites for Collabtive? I downloaded the 0.6.1 version from www.collabtive.com (assuming that was the latest version) and then I noticed that there is a completely different website here at www.collabtive.o-dyn.de offering version 0.7.5 as the latest version. Confused ... ... I'll try re-installing the 0.7.5 version and see if things get better.

collabtive.com is a scam - don't download from there
someone completely unaffiliated with us registered it

the only official URLs of Collabtive are:
http://collabtive.o-dyn.de
http://www.collabtive.de

Please only download from these sites.
This way you'll make sure that you always get the latest version and that what you download has not been tampered with.

Philipp, wow, thanks for the heads up on that! That's really dumb that someone is scamming an opensource project.

Anyways, I installed 0.7.5 (or tried to at least) and now I'm back to the problem of not being able to get past the "Error: Tables could not be created." during installation. The tables appear in the database though, and I don't see any major errors with the install.php file.

Ok, I fixed the installation problem. Whoever coded this used "or" in the for statement, which I have never heard of being valid use. I replaced the "or" conditions with the appropriate "||", and it worked like a charm. I'm also now able to create new projects.
