verot.net - Typo3 installation on OVH mutualised server
=======================================================

https://www.verot.net/typo3_ovh.htm

### Get Typo3

Download dummy-3.5.0.zip from typo3.org. (Any other package should work),
and unzip it locally.

### Modify a few files

in /typo3/init.php


define('PATH_thisScript',str_replace('//','/', str_replace('\\','/',
php_sapi_name()=='cgi'||php_sapi_name()=='isapi' ?
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PATH_TRANSLATED']:
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])));

becomes


define('PATH_thisScript',str_replace('//','/', str_replace('\\','/',
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])));


 in /index.php


define('PATH_thisScript',str_replace('//','/', str_replace('\\','/',
php_sapi_name()=='cgi'||php_sapi_name()=='isapi'  ?
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PATH_TRANSLATED']:
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])));

becomes


define('PATH_thisScript',str_replace('//','/', str_replace('\\','/',
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])));


 in /typo3/t3lib/class.t3lib_install.php


function getDatabaseList() {
    $dbArr=array();
    if ($result = @mysql_pconnect(TYPO3_db_host, TYPO3_db_username,
TYPO3_db_password)) {
      $db_list = mysql_list_dbs();
      while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($db_list)) {
        if (mysql_select_db($row->Database)) {
          $dbArr[]=$row->Database;
        }
      }
    }
    return $dbArr;
  }

becomes


function getDatabaseList() {
    $dbArr=array();
    $dbArr[]='your_table';
    return $dbArr;
  }


in /typo3/t3lib/class.t3lib_div.php


switch((string)$getEnvName) {
    case 'SCRIPT_NAME':
      return php_sapi_name()=='cgi' ? $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['PATH_INFO'] :
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME'];

becomes


switch((string)$getEnvName) {
    case 'SCRIPT_NAME':
      return $HTTP_SERVER_VARS['SCRIPT_NAME'];

### Test it

Go to http://www.mydomain.com/. If it doesn't get to the install process,
go there manually typing : http://www.mydomain.com/typo3/install/. Most of
the configuration will be done automatically.

Set up the database, using your parameters. You should be able to see one
table in the list, the one you hard-coded in class.t3lib_install.php. You
can then import typo3conf/database.sql (all tables), which you can do from
the install script.
