XOOPS
Installation issue on step 9 'Administrator account'
On fresh installation (just download) Password fields not recognize. Always message: Password not entered
Composer install ->ok Apache 2.4.10 Php 5.6.4 Mysql 5.6.25
Local installation (//localhost) Install in default apache directory (/var/www/html) No errors reported in Firefox console. No server error.
Install now on my dev server and install work fine. Debian 8.0 - Apache 2.4.10 - MySQL 5.5.44 - Php 5.6.7 under /var/www/html. same process and browser.
I installed on Ubuntu 15.04 and had no issue. Retried until I recreated the error.
The message you described is from the javascript password strength/generator code. I just means nothing has been entered in the field.
What seems to be broken is that error messages are not displayed properly. For example, putting in an invalid email address should show an error message, but it only returns blank fields. This does not appear to be specific to any OS or browser, and just a general defect.
I'll look into it. Thanks for the report!
Your comment on the email address given me a part of the problem. The first time I put root@localhost as the e-mail address. By redoing an installation with an email address like [email protected] everything works perfectly. But no error message displayed when fields error.
For whatever reason, the PHP's filter_var() with the FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL filter does not like "@localhost" addresses. It does a good job with lots of other edge cases, though. That limitation does keep jokers from trying to register with "nobody@localhost" :wink:
