Hello,
I had a working installation of Joomla. I hosed the ja_purity template, somehow, and couldn't figure out what I did wrong or how to get it fixed. I replaced the entire set of ja_purity files, but no joy. Other templates still worked, but I didn't like the idea of having a half-assed installation. Therefore, I blew away the whole joomla installation (rm -Rf) and unpacked the installation files again. I went through the whole painful process of resetting permissions throughout the entire directory tree. I deleted the old mysql db from the original installation and I restarted both apache and mysql.
The web-based installer for the "new" installation is broken, and just returns the error indicated in the subject line.
I have created a user "joomla," who is in a group "joomla," and chowned all the files. The "joomla" user is in the "joomla" group and is also in the "admin" group, since this is Ubuntu server. I believe all the directories in the tree are 755 and all files are 644, and owned by "joomla:joomla." I also put the web server user (www-data) into the joomla group. I don't know if any of that helps or matters, but I like things tidy and there seems to be next to no information available about permissions and ownership for joomla files, beyond one sentence detailing the permissions for files and directories.
If somebody can tell me what that error message actually means, I might be able to get things working. This sure seems like a lot of punishment for accidentally mis-editing a template file.
Thanks.
