Installation fails if there's an empty file in a subfolder

[luiscantero]

I dowloaded the latest version from Github, unzipped and uploaded it to my web server. My server works well as it runs Wordpress and Grav just fine.

When I open the yellow page, I get the following error:
Datenstrom Yellow requires complete upload!

I changed a line in yellow-system.ini from this:
CoreExtensionDirectory: system/extensions/
... to this:
CoreExtensionDirectory: /system/extensions/
... and the error went away.

The next error I'm getting is:
Language 'en' does not exist!

What do I need to do to make it work?

Thanks.

I would do the installation all over again from scratch, you are probably just missing files.

Here's what the troubleshooting recommends in this case: Copy all files to the web server. Check if your FTP software shows an error message during upload. It sometimes happens that the data transfer was interrupted, then there are files with zero bytes on the web server. After all installation files have been copied to the web server, the problem should be resolved.

Does this work for you?

A file yellow.log does not get generated. Setting debug level to 3 does not show me anything obvious. Thanks.

You do have root access, don't you? Upload the yellow-master.zip, unpack on your server and copy to the path of your choice. Check if there are file(s) with zero size. If not it should run.

... something in the Apache logs?

I found the issue by debugging checkServerComplete. The method getDirectoryEntriesRecursive checks all files in all subfolders recursively, not just the yellow-related files and folders. On my server, there were folders from other CMS systems that I was testing and there was an empty file in one of those.

IMHO the method checkServerComplete should only check the yellow files and folders.

Thanks, feel free to close this issue.

I updated the install extension. The new code will check only required files and is completely agnostic to what else is going on in the file system. That should fit better into the rest of the system. There is also a bit more debug information. With debug level 1 you should be able to see which installation files are missing on the web server.

Should be fixed now, please try it out.

Thanks a lot!
I can confirm that it works even when there are unrelated folders with empty files.
