Get stuck on step 5

    Get stuck on step 5

    I try a first time installation of version 1.4.2. Am on a windows machine but ISP is Linux with php and mysql working. Root directory and Mysql database contain a working postnuke installation. Installation went without hitch until step 5 "Content directory". I created a folder in root called AT_content with permissions set at 777. Entered the path in the installation box as http://www.mypage.info/AT_content, which resulted in error message "Content Directory entered does not exist". Created a directory on drive C (as example suggested), set path to C:\content\ and also got the same error message. Read in FAQ reference to "Step 2" which I can not locate. Please instructions what I am doing wrong.

    Linux path & chmod recursive

    First use:

    chmod -R 777 AT_content

    to make the directory recursively writable.

    or better use

    chmod a+rwx AT_content

    The path you need to define is the unix path, something like:

    /home/yumi/www/AT_content

    The content directory must reside on you ISP server.

    Working ok

    Thank you. It is working now. Correct path is /www/htdocs/username/AT_content. To much of a newbie figure it out myself.

    Re: Same problem

    i would like to open this thread again.

    i'm getting problems and its my first time i've installed this :(

    i've created a new folder called atcontent in the /public_html/ folder of my webserver.

    chmod -R 777 atcontent
    and
    chmod a+rwx atcontent

    i am unsure where to enter these? is it in the directory box? do u put in 1 at a time and press next?

    and would my link me /public_html/atcontent or would you have to put /home/ at the beginning?

    thanks

    Re: Same problem

    At the command line on the server where ATutor resides, set the permissions as described.

    This is fairly basic UNIX functionality. You may want to find yourself a basic UNIX tutorial.

    Also, make sure there are no symbolic links in the path to your web directory (which you'll also find info on in most basic UNIX tutorials)
