spacomp,

I was not able to reproduce the issue (used XAMPP 7.0.6 for it)

Please provide detailed, step-by-step instructions to reproduce the issue.

Dear Atrol,

Following are my details of Service packages

ApacheFriends XAMPP (Basispaket) version 1.7.4

• Apache 2.2.17
• MySQL 5.5.8 (Community Server)
• PHP 5.3.5 (VC6 X86 32bit) + PEAR
• XAMPP Control Version 2.5 from www.nat32.com
• XAMPP Security
• SQLite 2.8.15
• OpenSSL 0.9.8o
• phpMyAdmin 3.3.9
• ADOdb 5.11
• Mercury Mail Transport System v4.62
• FileZilla FTP Server 0.9.37
• Webalizer 2.01-10
• Zend Optimizer 3.3.0
• Perl 5.10.1
• Mod_perl 2.0.4
• Tomcat 7.0.3

Coming to the steps

1. Copied the latest source file from exctracted zip folder "MantisBT1.3.0.zip" into the desired application folder
2. Placed this folder into \htdocs...
3. Created a database by name "DATABASE_NAME"
4. Launched the "http://localhost/MY_Application_Folder/admin/install.php"

Installation proceeds for a while, and after some point of time, I get the error

401 in C:\xampp\htdocs\MY_Application_Folder\core\database_api.php on line 460

As highlighted in the image.

Note: I have installed 1.2.19 and other earlier versions in the same environment. And I never had this issue.

XAMPP (Basispaket) version 1.7.4
I don't want to invest time in installing complete outdated XAMPP versions.
I might finally find that there is a bug in one of the PHP functions on Windows.

Please try a newer XAMPP version (5.6.23 or 7.0.8 at the moment)

I tried with the proper environment. Now I have the issue with "$g_crypto_master_salt", searched the topics based on this, no proper solutions.

During Installation we get this error

POSSIBLE PROBLEM
Unable to find a random number source for cryptographic purposes. You will need to edit C:\xampp\htdocs\MTCI-Prototype\config\config_inc.php and set a value for $g_crypto_master_salt manually

During login we are having this message

PPLICATION ERROR #2900
For security reasons MantisBT will not operate when $g_crypto_master_salt is not specified correctly in config_inc.php or is shorter than 16 characters long.
Please use the "Back" button in your web browser to return to the previous page. There you can correct whatever problems were identified in this error or select another action. You can also click an option from the menu bar to go directly to a new section.

Refer "Application Error 2900.png"

Application Error 2900.png (75,932 bytes)   

Application Error 2900.png (75,932 bytes)   

Following is the content from Config_inc.php

<?php
$g_hostname = 'localhost';
$g_db_type = 'mysqli';
$g_database_name = 'MY_Application_Folder';
$g_db_username = 'username';
$g_db_password = 'password';

$g_db_table_prefix = 'TablePrefix';

$g_default_timezone = 'Asia/Kolkata';

$g_crypto_master_salt = '';

This is the message you got:
For security reasons MantisBT will not operate when $g_crypto_master_salt is not specified correctly in config_inc.php or is shorter than 16 characters long.

Your setting is
$g_crypto_master_salt = '';

It's probably shorter than 16 characters long.

Whats the solution?

Any changes to be done?

Read [1] to understand about what we are talking.

After that, change the setting to something like
$g_crypto_master_salt = 't5aPbHDmHBfnC4dJ';

This worked like a Charm!!!

Thanks a lot Atrol.

spacomp,

This is not a bug or feature request for MantisBT (you are asking for help on how to configure the system). I am therefore resolving this issue as "no change required".

Please use the forums, the mantisbt-help mailing list or IRC to get support on customizing and using MantisBT (refer to http://www.mantisbt.org/support.php for links and further details).
