JoomlaPlug!

I tried using this desktop installer and ran into some snags. The installer appeared to upload all the Joomla files. However, after that it went to a Joomla pre-installation and this is where the problems appear to begin.

The configuration.php file is unwritable I don?t see the file in the public_htm at this point in the install for it to even be writeable.



The register global emulation is set to on instead of off. But no place does the install check tell me how to change this.

mambots/system/ claims to not be writable either I looked at the fill in CPanel File Manager and it shows that it is writeable 777

I must be doing something wrong

Hi there!
Ok, one of the problems &quot;register global emulation &quot;, this is something that can be changed only in your php.ini file if your host allows it! Better contact them regarding this issue and see if they allow you to change it!

Second, the permissions thing, if you don't see the file configuration.php, try and create it(even empty) with permissions 777 upon it!
The third problem mambots/system/, you will need to re-check that, else i you may continue the install, it will work ok, but when you will try and upload mambots to the site you might get that error again!

Hope it helps! Ovidiu

I have a VPS server so I can probably change modify php.ini if you tell where its at and what I have to do?

I know I also have another site on a shared hosting account and I had to do something simular to get a compnet to work but in this case I added the php.ini to the root of Joomla.

So do you have any ideas what to do on the mambots/system/ does anyone else run into this or is it jsut me.

Hi there! Ok, about the globals variable, you need to find this in your php.ini

register_globals

and set it to this value

register_globals = &quot;Off&quot;

Second, about this directory mambots/system/ try this:
- change permissions to 777 upon mambots/
- change permissions to 777 upon mambots/system/

I hope that you will fix this in the next version. I just did a Joomla 1.0.11 remote install, and this was the ONLY permissions change that your software missed. Otherwise, this is a great solution!

Thanks for the heads up, i will have this fixed in the next version!
