Installation Problems

[the_rubble]

Hi there

I'm installing this on a Fedora Core 3 system and have placed all the necessary files into a directory that the web browser can display. When I load up the install.php file, I enter the details requested and click submit. I then get an error message saying that it cannot write to the approprite files requested - siteConfig.php and .htaccess.

I have set the permissions to 777 as directed in the post submit button and even changed the owner and group setting to nobody but still to no avail.

Any suggestions?

Regards

Have you looked at your error.log (apache) file sometimes error message are more verbose.

Hi there, yes, I forget to mention. It displays

fopen(./.htaccess): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /usr/rpm/mcp/install.php on line 68, referer: http://www.rpmnet.ath.cx/mcp/install.php

I tried everything I know. I've tried it from a remote and local machine. I double checked the permissions and there all set at 777.

It's weird, what about bypassing the install.php and make an installation manually. Just look what is doing the install.php and modify siteConfig.php accordingly and create db in mysql ?

Just a suggestion

Good luck
