Joomla 1.6 Setup Guide [jan-2010], Updated tutorial for Joomla

[benzemen]

Hi friend, I have one problem. I installed 1.7 everything right. When I enter xxxxxx / joomla / administrator get the following error:
Infinite loop detected in JError

I try to fix mistake a thousand times, changing the configuration.php (logs and tmp) and I can not fix.

I don't know what to do.

thanks.

Anyone having trouble viewing uploaded templates via FTP?

Have tried different templates and versions but doesn't show up under 'Template Manager'.... Everything installed and works fine except this...

any ideas why this might be happening?

[thetotor]

First of all, thanks a lot for the topic and tips. I've been re-directed here from the Joomla.fr forum where some people are already trying to help me.

I read it all (I'm under Joomla 1.5.15) but couldn't find a clue about my problem.

Let me explain: first, I installed the Joomla package (ages ago...) on my computer, worked (slowly...) on a website and finally decided to transfer it on my Zymic page. (account created ages ago as well!)

After some bugs (ini_set, header problems, etc) that I solved looking on the Internet, I now have a major issue: I can't connect as an admin.
I tried to create a Super Admin on SQL Buddy and that sort of things, doesn't work. It doesn't tell me if my login/pass is valid or not, it just refreshes the page and lets me start again.


Furthermore and what bugs me regarding the first post (and regarding the "Joomla for dummies" file I followed) is that I NEVER got the Installation steps after I transferred the files to the webspace using Filezilla. (which, by the way, took me AGES as I had to reload the transfers once every 5 minutes... when I had the opportunity to stay in front of my computer long enough, which prevents me from even THINKING about a clean re-install) I, instead, finally managed to have the website running to the point I had reached on my computer, but now online.

It seems that whatever I do on the jos_users table, it doesn't create a reaction on my page. (Oh, and the "contact me" form on the website doesn't work as well, though I thought I had configured it the right way on my local site.)

Any sort of help would be MUCH appreciated!

I have the configuracion.php
<? Php
{JConfig class
/ * Site Settings * /
var $ offline = '0 ';
var $ offline_message = 'This site is down for maintenance. <br />
Please check back soon. ';
}
?>

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /www/zymichost.com/d/j/s/djsep/htdocs/Joomla/configuration.php:13) in /www/zymichost.com/d/j/s/djsep/htdocs/Joomla/libraries/joomla/session/session.php on line 462

I just did it again.

Copy the code your given into notepad, paste it, then save as configuration.php and upload. That's it.

Could you please create a new link to gain the correct code, coz this link is no more functioning. I face the same problem; and that makes me feel I just lost my time installing this Joomla.
Thank you for your help, I strongly need it.

I don't understand it was the "root directory" or not. The position of the entire joomla folder is at the identical grade as the index.html, pictures folder.

[ssfdre38]

the root directory is the first folder that your FTP client connects to or / that is your root

Great tutorial!! I really appreciate it

I successfull installed Joomla 1.7 to my free space and I also learned sometingh about the configurations files. All works properly!

But... the winning card of a CMS like Joomla is the ability to extend itself with really simply installation and without zLib support all the installation process became very annoying. I tried to install a new component (Jce editor) uploading the unzipped files and folder in the .../tmp dyrectory but I am not able to install it... I tryied to set the full privileges at the folders but the problems stands... Joomla recognizes the editor as a language and it's not able to install it !!!

I know that this surely not depends from Zymic decision to not let zLib available, but this is too annoying. I will try a litlle bit but if I still not having succesfull installations I will sadly consider the possibility to leave the service for another...

Please forgive me for my poor english

[ssfdre38]

if you read the tutorial, you will see how to disable that in the coding. just so you know zLib is going to remain disable on Zymic

[RandomStuffs22]

i get an error saying this

Fatal error: Class 'JConfig' not found in /www/99k.org/t/h/e/thefuzzyking/htdocs/forum2/includes/framework.php on line 53

I have this problem too

[sankargowri]

i was struck at 2 step while installing 2.5.3 and showing error zlib is not supported,i didn't find next button in joomla installation step 2

[ssfdre38]

we dont support it so you have to edit a file to use Joomla on Zymic

[Nunzio2012]

I followed the steps in the tutorial and got the installation set up properly but nothing is showing up on my front end. I can log in to the back end just fine but my front end is just the default "Account Successfully crated" zymic page. Did I miss something somewhere? Is there some coding or options somewhere I need to go and fix.

I also have two other tangential questions. First, after not being able to figure out the front end issue I installed a local host and made my website there. So I have a website built not and I need to know how to get what I've built onto the internet. I'd be willing to re-install joomla if need be but I need to know how to un-install it first.

The other question is that I have a .com domain name and I want to know how to get the content to show on that .com and not on the domainname.zymichost.com.

Thanks for any help on any of these issues. A huge thanks to anyone who can answer all the question for me.

ABOUT templates for Joomla
use default template, best is using beez_20, cuz none using this i think
prepare your template unzipped[if youre using Artisteer, just save as beeze_20 to avoid any troubles]
with FTP client put into templates/beez_20 [rename original beeze to something]
and after just choose in Administration of Joomla
pre prepared in Artisteer and localhost is best way to avoid any troubles online .)
nd if some images been used local and not working online, use direct editing in database online or reset/reupload again in Administration and/or ftp client
same similar way you can make working language packs and some other modules w/o using zLib for upload
