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

[ckkok]

Should be like this:

CODE

var $offline_message = 'This site is down for maintenance.<br /> Please check back again soon.';

NOT this

CODE

var $offline_message = 'This site is down for
maintenance.<br /> Please check back again soon.';

The file is read line by line, to close a line properly you need ;, which is missing on the code that you posted.

Hi, Thanks again!
I change the code as below :

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

And, after that I tried again, the same result appeared :

Parse error..... .... .....line 6......

So, I changed my code to :

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

And, this time, the result appeared :

Database Error: Unable to connect to the database:Could not connect to MySQL

I don't know what else do I make my mistake ?
Please help!

the only thing I can think of is that you are copy/pasting incorrectly the code you need. I've done the install at least 2-3 times already before without any problem. Everything you did up until the configuration file was done correctly. I suggest you try to copy/paste it again. Try using notepad to make the file. Don't use wordpad or something funny like that.

[ckkok]

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

Above is the exact code I'm write by a notepad and save as "configuration.php" with the quote.
I try to upload again, and this time the result :

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_FUNCTION in /www/99k.org/l/b/p/lbpgroup/htdocs/configuration.php on line 7

Please help!

I cannot help you without seeing what's going on directly. I'm not physic. The only thing I can tell you is to do it again. It's something on your end that your doing wrong. That's all I can say. I can't help anymore than that without doing the install personally and uploading the files personally to make sure it's done right.

Hi, Lizon

You been so helpful to me as a newbie here and I'm appreciated a lot for that!

I will delete the whole Joomla content in the zymic server and re-ftp again the whole Joomla package, re-installation and re-configuration.php and hopefully this time it work.

Thx!

I did everything and am getting the 404 error as well.
I created and even verified after the error what the code looks like:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_FUNCTION in /www/99k.org/c/l/o/closeupman/htdocs/configuration.php on line 5

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



Thanks

[lizon]

I just did it again.

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

[killzone]

It worked for me!
Thanks, no errors at all.
However, about templates, is there a solution? If so how?

Operation Failed!: failed to open file /www/99k.org/f/u/n/funtime/htdocs/templates/go_roundy/params.ini for writing.

I've installed the skin manually, however, there's a slight problem.
I went to Filezilla and 'checked' all the file permission, now it has 777.
Still I get that.

Any solution?

I think I'm going to have to make a video to show people how to copy and paste -.-

Hello,

Big thanks for the guide, as I was previously unable to install Joomla.
I was wondering, however, if disabling ini_set() doesn't expose the website to a security risk.

Thanks in advance.

[lizon]

no, it doesn't. It mearly disables Joomla's ability to pull files from their website for themes and updates. IT just means you need to install updates and themes manually. Which isn't a big deal.

Hello Dear
I recently have installed Joomla 1.5 on Zymic. But neither the administration nor in my site I do not see any image. Where do you think of the problem?
Grateful

[lizon]

Either your images aren't there or the folder that they are in aren't viewable in which case you would have to check your folder permissions.

If all else fails install again from scratch.

I already had installed Joomla in the root and once in a folder called joomla, but problem not solve.

I know I'm going to regret asking, what's your url?

Don't mean to bring up a topic that's been silent for a few weeks, but I need some assistance. :-(

I've followed the tutorial for Joomla, and have been trying to install v. 1.5.17 on my site, but I can't seem to get it working right...

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in /www/zxq.net/b/l/a/blast-assist/htdocs/libraries/joomla/session/session.php on line 1

Is what I'm getting right now.
My site is here: blast-assist.zxq.net

Thanks for the help :-)
