Topic: Joomla 1.6

[hawk]

HI

Just interested if anyone has successfully got Joomla 1.6.3 running.

I have it installed and running but as soon as i try load any extensions i get the following error

"There was an error uploading this file to the server." No error codes or anything else

I have checked the joomla forums and they all point to a linux issue. Tried changing all permissions to 777 and doesn't make any difference.

I have this version of Joomla running other linux hosting systems and runs fine, but really want to move them to SME

Any one got any ideas

thanks John

what about taking a look into httpd log?

/var/log/httpd/error_log is your file

Are there any errors listed in /var/log/httpd-e-smith/error_log or /var/log/messages?

My first guess is that you need to add your /tmp folder (or whatever folder Joomla uses when uploading data) to your php open base directory.

According to this post, you can do this in the ".htaccess" file for your joomla using

Code: [Select]

php_value open_basedir /blah/blah/ibayname/blah:/tmp
Or you can do it in php.ini (via custom template) with the setting

Code: [Select]

open_basedir /blah/blah/ibayname/blah:/tmp

Have you tried:

Code: [Select]

db accounts setprop Primary PHPBaseDir /home/e-smith/files/ibays/Primary:/tmp
signal-event ibay-modify Primary
and

Code: [Select]

db accounts setprop Primary AllowOverride all
db accounts setprop Primary FollowSymLinks enabled
db accounts setprop Primary Indexes disabled
signal-event ibay-modify Primary
Cheers

Hi
Sorry been very busy and not been able to respond. Thanks for the help. I will give it a try.
But for a quick solution all i did was copy the files i wanted to install into the TMP folder and us install from directory. Worked like a charm.

thanks
John
