Joomla 1.5 Setup Guide[zymic]

[gEmnet]

Ok, I've tried to install joomla 1.5 on the host. So far I've been able to upload the files using an ftp manager, and to go through the installation process. The error occurs when I try to upload templates, plugins or language files (admin and site).

To me it seem there is some cind of a problem with transfering the files from my local computer to joomla web host.

The only thing I haven't tried is manually uploading those files in a joomla installation folder and installing them from there. Where do I store joomla pluggins, languages and similar data ready to be installed?

Hmm.. I'm actually uploading joomla and I'm a new user at zymic but for all I know the problem *can* be that zymic use "safe mode=on" and so all you need to do is to use the ftp layer in Joomla -> Global Configuration.

hi

Yesterday and Today I tried to setup joomla CMS v 1.5.5 ( and 1.5.4 too) on my zymic site. But during installation I get such error:



Why?
My site is wrestlingnizhnov.vndv.com and I'm enter database name wrestlingnizhnov_joomla and wrestlingnizhnov_myusername . What I'm doing incorrect.

Sory for my English.

I have tried to install joomla a number of times
i have not once succeeded
Here is the info;

1. i download Joomla 1.5 from official joomla site
2. i unzip and upload all the files to a folder named "joomla"
3. i type in the url "www.mysite.vndv.com/jomla
4. and i automatically get this page saying " PLEASE REMEMBER TO COMPLETELY
REMOVE THE INSTALLATION DIRECTORY.
You will not be able to proceed beyond this point until the installation directory has been removed. This is a security feature of Joomla!.
Click here when the directory has been removed.

It might be your "wrestlingnizhnov_joomla" and "wrestlingnizhnov_myusername." They might be too long.

Your username and database name are way too long, MySQL has a limit of 16 characters on this server, and shamakiddiecenter_admin is 23 characters. You can follow my directions in this post if you want to keep the same site name.

Also for the $host variable it NEEDS to be 'localhost' nothing else will work.

it's fucking stupid this limit. Since my space is comehereoften.vndv,com, I need to call the db comehereoften_a, or b, or just one letter...

How is it stupid? Whats the problem? Only YOU see the database names, it's not like it affects how the database works by having ONE letter names. Also you're only allowed 5 databases, so it's not like you're going to run out of letters to make new ones.

Stop complaining about a free service, had you paid for it I might be a little more understanding. But you didn't.

and what about the previous user that cannot do any db? shamakiddiecenter has 18 char, so he cannot create any db...

I'm not complaining, I only said that it's a stupid things, and that perhaps you should tell before, even when choosing the site name...
I lost loads of time and bandwithd trying to cancela and reupload joomla, and so other users did...

[franz1789]

BTW, i called my db with a single char (though in the control panel mysql db guided creation said that i could use 53 char) but joomla still does not recognize it...
what am I supposed to do?

Read the post I linked to... You can KEEP the same site name (even though it's too long) and still get a mysql database.

[wozzym]

just installed it successfully here as well: http://fizly.vndv.com

[franz1789]

Still cannot install it, I changed also the username to a single letter, but it says internal proxy error...

[Andrew]

If you would like franz I will help you via AIM or MSN or something, just get my screen name off my Zymic profile.

Also, did you assign the privileges to the Database and username

[franz1789]

joomla is quite useless with safe_mode on...

joomla is quite useless with safe_mode on...

Want to have Safemode OFF & PHP Mail ON? Get them both for just $15 Or pay separately $10 for either, Contact Jack on zIRC.

Well, I just want to try out Joomla, and well I got this error after uploading the files. I never even got a change to install anything or anything, and I get this page: http://www.livepreview.net78.net

[Andrew]

So do as it says, remove the installation directory!
