beginner stuck on Joomla! pre-installation check - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support


i installing joomla! 1.5.14 on xampp 1.7.1 on home computer running ubuntu 9.04

in "pre-installation check" screen in "joomla! web installer", i've got several red items on list.

the items red are:

"configuration.php writable" (theres red no, instead of green yes)
"display errors" (the recommended off mine on )
"register globals" (the recommended off mine on )

i have no idea of how rectify these. first item above requirement joomla! work.

for second , third items says:

"these recommended settings php in order ensure full compatibility joomla!.
joomla! still operate if settings not match."

to avoid many future issues possible i'd change these things recommended settings. (as opposed continuing without changing them)

it suggested in different forum follwing:

quote:
you need check folder , file permissions , ownership on joomla installation. should owned apache user (typically www or www-data). -end quote

i entered following command:

chown -r www-data:www-data /opt/lampp/htdocs/joomla15

f.y.i- "joomla15" directory put joomla!

i went , checked "pre-installation check" screen , there no changes.

i should tell beginner in realm of php, _ampp, joomla! etc. also, haven't been using linux long. -thanks.

try appoaching install of joomla if remote server.

you can ftp site , use standard ftp change
permissions of file. not easiest, is
also you'll doing when eventualy set up
your remote joomla site sometime in future.

changing other settings different each operating
system, there isn't fixed answer on that. easy
enough search " xampp register globals"

php.ini has display errors set on register globals set on.
you have edit php.ini fix these after install.

it's this:

also:
finally, edit file globals.php in joomla site's root directory
, change line

define( 'rg_emulation', 1 )

to

define( 'rg_emulation', 0 )


i use on bsd server
register_globals = off
magic_quotes_gpc = on

it's few lines in text file. in habit of backing
up , making duplicates of original file when make
changes. each server little different.

hope helps.
