Hiya peeps! Great forum, great program, great to be onboard with such a fine open source initiative.
I am trying to install a fresh copy of XOOPS v2.0.10 onto my local webserver for testing a new site I'm developing for a local community group. My test server is a vanilla install of Apache2Triad v1.4.1 using following versions:
Apache version 2.0.53
MySQL version 4.0.24
PostgreSQL version 8.0.0
Openssl version 0.9.7e
Slimftpd version 3.16
Xmail version 1.21
Perl version 5.8.6
PHP version 4.3.11
Python version 2.3.4
FWIW I would have preferred to use the XSAS server but it will not give me an option of installing to a different drive letter (W is already in use on my local box) and nobody has responded to my cry for help over on the XSAS forum at sourceforge. But anyhoo, on to the problem.....
I've made all the necessary folders writable and give full access permissions to the database user name account in MySQL panel.
Install confirms:
Checking file and directory permissions...
Directory uploads/ is writable.
Directory cache/ is writable.
Directory templates_c/ is writable.
File mainfile.php is writable.
No errors detected.
Heres's my setup config:
Database mysql
Database Hostname localhost
Database Username (private)
Database Password (private)
Database Name xoops
Table Prefix xoops
Use persistent connection? NO
XOOPS Physical Path D:/WebServer/htdocs/xoops
XOOPS Virtual Path
http://localhost/xoopsTwo windows later I am getting this error message:
Saving configuration data..
Could not write into mainfile.php. Please check the file permission and try again.
I've read and re-read the installation instructions and followed the very excellent wink tutorial over at
http://www.warpigw2.com/ (big kudos to the bloke who prepared this bunch of flash tutorials) but can't for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong here.
I read some mumblings in another thread here that somebody was getting this same error after upgrading to Apache2.... is there anything I might need to enable in there which is not enabled in vanilla Apache2Triad setup? Or something I can do to check MySQL has correct permissions to edit the file?
I'm running Win2003 here (hacked to workstation), using Firefox browser to run the install, set my NTFS folder permissions to allow full file access, all my server bits are listening on correct ports and enabled in firewall (Outpost).
Hope that was enough info

So, can any of you XOOPS guru's shed some light please?
Cheers m'dears

Please Note: I am only trying to run this on local server for now - it might be a month or so before I get client approval and have it on a web hosted server - so I'm only concerned with this end of things for now and getting this XOOPS test server operational.
