Installation Instructions/Procedure

[lexscripta]

Can you folks tell me where the install instructions/procedures are located?

I have downloaded the software, but cannot find such answers as what directory structure is to be used, mySql database config, etc.

Do I just ftp everything to the directory and then run the index.php file in the install directory?

Thanks - really looking forward to putting the software through its paces!

Hi and welcome to our support forums
Installation is very easy. Here are some basic steps you should make to complete installation process:

1. Download the script
2. Unpack it and upload all files and directories from upload_* directory to your server (you may unpack it on your server)
3. Create database and grant all privileges to your user
4. Run web installer for xooArticles (yourdomain.com/install/)
5. Follow the instructions

That's all. Please let us know if you have any problems

I have the home page working, but cannot get into admin. I go here: mydomain.com/admin/index.php And get errors:

Warning: fopen(/hsphere/local/home/markrp/k9articles.com/tmp/log.txt): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /hsphere/local/home/markrp/k9articles.com/admin/init.php on line 36

please create that file in your tmp directory. And set writable permissions for it

You didn't specify a file name. I assume you meant the init.php file? I did that and no change. Errors the same.

Furthermore, you said "create" a file, not copy. So, without further info, I assumed an empty file with the name init.php. When that didn't work - I copied the init.php file from the admin directory to the tmp directory, setting the appropriate permissions - that didn't work either...

A complete un-install and re-installation of the script did not solve the problem either.

Ahh, I'm sorry for the confusion. No I mean you should create log.txt in your tmp directory and chmod 777 to that file. It should be a simple text file.

[lexscripta]

It already has a log.txt file with permissions set to 777.

And you still have that problem? That's quite strange

Please PM me your ftp details

[lexscripta]

Did you get that ftp info?
