Using IXWebhosting as service provider. Uploaded all files from htdocs by FTP to site root folder. Moved _data & _lib out of site root up one level. Made sure all necessary folders & files writable.

Step 4 in installation gives:
"No XOOPS installation could be found in the specified folder."
/hsphere/local/home/<accountname>/<sitename>.org

Strangely, it finds the other two folders just fine:
/hsphere/local/home/<accountname>/xoops_data
/hsphere/local/home/<accountname>/xoops_lib

I made a file 'rootpath.php' in root site folder. dirname(__FILE__) replies:
/hsphere/local/home/<accountname>/<sitename>.org

mainfile.php is writable. all checks to that point are ok. Capital letters in folder names not an issue (there are none). I even tried moving the data & lib folders back under site root with no progress. Installation DID find the two folders both times correctly. Doesn't make sense that it could find the other two folders and not the root physical path.

No joy googling any answers or searching the forums here. Any suggestions appreciated.

--update--
Successful install into a sub-web. Scraping original directory and trying again...

--update2--
Complete reinstall into a blank directory gave same results. Installed and configured sub-domain successfully. Weird. Copied mainfile.php over to root web, changed XOOPS_ROOT_PATH & XOOPS_URL, seems to work fine. Not an answer to the malfunction but, a workaround. Haven't tried doing anything but, it's up into admin without error.
