    Re: Installation problem

    Some very basic knowledge of Linux is required if that's what you are using as a host for ATutor. ATutor is an application, much more complex than what one might refer to as a script. It is server software.

    Follow the instructions in the error message for creating and the content directory and setting its permissions. If that's not enough information, you can read through the installation instructions for more detail, in the documentation section of atutor.ca.

    Slight disagreement with Greg :) regarding [quote="greg"] ... much more complex than what one might refer to as a scrip[/quote]

    I find the installation process quite straightforward and similar to other CMS, Forum, Blog etc web installers. The "Content Directory" error that is being generated is quite easily rectified. If you are using a paid hosting account, chances are CPanel or some other web account control center is installed. These come with file managers which enable directories to be easily created. Create the "content" directory and enter the path when prompted.

    If you are on your own machine and you are using Linux then I will presume you know all about creating directories :). Just for giggles:

    $ su
    $ "enter password"
    # cd /var/www/htdocs (assuming the that's the
    "docroot path")
    # mkdir content

    Alternatively you can just do this through Gnome or KDE.
