mambo / joomla setup help..



  306 TD Slut
trying to install it onto my hosting server.

Gives you a long list of folders in the directory that you have to give permissions to, but it has also said that the configuration.php is not writeable..

i have given it all the permissions (777) via the ftp but still says not writeable.

there is no configuration.php file there, but there is a configuration.php-dist file which i assume its talking about..?

it says i can go on installtion as it is, so i did but now wants me to manually install the code

ok you little munchking.

what you need to do is make sure that not only you have changed the folder permissions but also the files within

Also, the configuration.php-dist, rename it to configuration.php and then it should work :)

This is what you need to do, then you will be fine.

What are you actually using, joomla or mambo as they are both quite different now.

wooooooooooooooooooooooop

howdy matey.

Im one step ahead, i renamed the file as.php and then refreshed the setup page and it didnt work it just displayed all this

Warning: main() [function.main]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/path/to/joomla/install/includes/version.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/marksimo:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/marksimo/public_html/joomla/includes/joomla.php on line 71

as for what im using it for.. i dont really know, i'd quite like to get more involved in content managment systems and sql etc..

do everything through the control panel, do not do it manually.

:)

Make sure you chmod the directories 777 and the files

Then you will be fine, next issue will be the username for the sql database
