Hi,

I just installed Joomla 1.6 for testing purposes. I was surprised to find out I needed to manually move the "configuration.php" file out from the /installation directory to the root ??? Is this a permission problem on my end or is this part of the installation process ?

I also had to chmod it to 777 as the standard 644 doesn't work ? It never did for that matter even in Joomla 1.5.

Also, as a suggestion, in Wordpress, if the configuration file doesn't exist, the installation process proposes to create one for you. Wouldn't it be pratical to have this sort of approach ?

Thanks,

Danny

So you're saying that this should NOT happen ? Have you installed Joomla 1.6 without having to manually move the configuration.php-dist file to the root directory ?

Thanks,

I've experienced this on a localhost environment because of permissions issues. It should be the same as 1.5; run the install script and if configuration.php isn't automatically created, the file's contents are given to you at the end to manually create the file.

I'm having a problem like this on a new install and have gone ahead with the install to await the file contents at the end. This doesn't happen. I have however created a configuration.php file and changed the details to what is required but can't install new templates in the back end. Perhaps I've missed something in the file? I've never had this problem with other installs could it be something to do with 1.5.22?

This is driving me nuts now! I have tried installing an earlier version of Joomla 1.5 to see if it's something to do with v1.5.22 and I still get the problem but I never used to. Clearly it's a permissions problem but I can't figure out where. Any help will be appreciated.

There is no big issue if it not create your configuration.php file itself, you can create manually , it is not big deal, just copy paste any existing configuration.php file on your new joomla installation and just change three things. if your don't have file tell me i will send you ..

1- Username
2- Password
3- databse name...

This is a work around. It doesn't explain why the file isn't being created. It always used to.

Hi,

In fact, my problem was probably permission related (Plesk+Apache mod PHP)

I will test this but I think most of my permission problems have now been resolved by setting PHP to run as FastCGI.
