Hello,

I need help. My previous version of XOOPS went haywire after I clicked on the "upgrade link" in my Fantatico script. So I am now trying to re-install using the Fantastico installation script. However, it isn't installing this time. Or perhaps more correctly stated, during and after "installation", I get the following messages:

(during installation:)
Install XOOPS (2/3)

Warning: file(/usr/local/apache/conf/httpd.conf): failed to open stream: Permission

denied in /usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico/includes/enc_check.inc.php on line

225

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in

/usr/local/cpanel/3rdparty/fantastico/includes/enc_check.inc.php on line 226

The MySQL database and MySQL user ****_xoop1 will be created and used for

this installation.

- You chose to install in the domain ****.com, in a subdirectory called

member-area.
- The access URL will be:http://****.com/member-area.

Click on Finish installation to continue.

=================================
(after installation:)

Warning: mkdir(/member-area): Permission denied in

/tmp/cpanel_phpengine.1122303505.67689523.28095519082 on line 1235

1) File: /member-area/mainfile.php [ERROR! ]
2) File: /member-area/data.sql [ERROR! ]


=================================
(going to the new page brings this error message:)
Not Found
The requested URL /member-area was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
==================================

Any ideas about fixing this? thanks in advance for your help.

I am a frustrated newbie seeking help with the same problem:
I am also stymied in my attempts to upload themes.

I read the tutorial you suggested but when I attempt it with Windows ME, the template manager will not let me select just the folder. It keeps popping open the folder to all the files.

Manually entering the name of the folder won't work, trying to select the folder won't work and sending the .zip file itself, of course, won't work.

I also have to wonder why XOOPS asks for a .tar file to begin with but all these templates are delivered in .zip format.

So many themes are available yet I can't get any to upload.

Any other suggestions for getting these themes uploaded?
Thanks.
