How do I install XOOPS on a SourceForge server?

Taking into account that the recent changes on the SF servers disallow chmod 777 & possibly even chmod 666 to files, how can I still force install XOOPS on it?

Are there any hacks to do this? OR 1 that perhaps allows me to redirect those servers and files to their replacements on a chmod-777able server that I own?

thanks.

Yeah, this had me stumped for a while too, but it is possible and no need for a hack or anything. I have just setup my own XOOPS website for my project (Quoots).

The webserver doesn't have write permissions to your group directory, but you are allowed (see the sourceforge docs) your own directory under /tmp/persistent - ie. mkdir /tmp/persistent/project

You can then move the applicable directories into this directory cache, uploads, etc. and create symlinks to them from your XOOPS (htdocs) directory with ln - eg.

cd /home/groups/p/pr/project/htdocs
ln -s /tmp/persistent/project/cache cache

Note you will still need to have 'chmod'ed the original files/directories as per usual.

I haven't managed to get email working with it yet though.

It might be possible to set it up to (instead of mail directly) send the information to a PHP script on another web server that will then send the email.

Getting the SEND MAIL & MultiMenu to work properly on them?

Hello,

Sorry to open again this old post ; but I didn't found any other on the sourceforge mail subject...

Does anyone find a solution ? The forums and user activation cannot work without email ; and it seems that external smtp are not allowed on sourceforge.

Many thanks

[edit] nevermind... SourceForge web is not ok for me (mail problems and too slow), I redirect all to another hosting
