Installation problem with quickstart package

Post by agabl123 » Fri Mar 16, 2018 7:34 pm

I installed a quickstart package in a subdirectory onto my server as a already have an productive joomla installation on my root directory.

the process was as following: Upload quickstart.zip onto my server. Upload unzip.php. start unzip.php. Everything looks fine but the joomla installation process will not start when I put the address in the browser http://www.myhomepage.com/subdirectory. There is an 404 error message instead.




any ideas what I did wrong?

You missed a number of steps. Do a google search on "Joomla quickstart" and you will find numerous tutorials.

... I watched those tutorials, now since hours ;-) The problem is that the joomla installation wizzard will not appear to make the further steps.

Since you are following a Joomlart set of instructions, did you create the database?

It looks like so as if I have a general problem within this subdirectory. I just tried this simple php script to work - but it doesn't work either, also error 404 .... When I put it in the root directory it works fine ....

<? echo dirname(__FILE__); ?>
