Could not open mainfile.php for reading

2014/10/27 11:39 I am half way through the install page and I get this error at the save configuration:

********************************
Saving your system configuration
Could not open mainfile.php for reading

I have no idea how to fix this.Thanks.


I'm sure this is pretty obvious to some of the experts on here hense why I am posting, as I cant for the life of me figure out whats wrong? Any ideas would be apprecatied.

2014/10/27 11:42 if your site is on a unix/linux server you should check for file permissions and owner...

2014/10/27 11:47 Yes, I am running it on a raspberry pi running raspbian. Ive checked this, and all appears to be ok but if it is like you say, I dont know how to correct it.

2014/10/27 14:16 We never tested it on RPi, therefore no guarantees that it will run there.

Few questions:

1) did you originally copy the mainfile.php from /extras

2) if not, did XOOPS create a new mainfile.php in the root directory?

3) If there is now a mainfile.php file, what is the content of it?

2014/10/27 23:33 Just tested this, same error... fixed by copying mainfile.php from extras folder to the xoops install folder and applying read, write, execute permissions (chmod 777).

So is it working now?

I am very curious how will XOOPS work on Raspberry Pie....
