Install error - 2006/01/03 13:34 Hi,

I've been trying to install Mamboboard on the server of my hosting provider and encounter this problem: the installer creates the directory componentsMamboboard as user Apache with write permission for the owner only. Thereafter installation fails because it cannot create subdirectories in this directory because the user account used to create the directory apparently is not the owner.

If I create the directory manually with write permission for everyone, the installer tells me the directory is already in use by another component.

My hosting provider does not want to change the permissions so I'm deadlocked. Is there a way to manually install Mamboboard?

admin Karma: 98	Re:Install error - 2006/01/04 03:34 Sorry, I'm not clear what is happening. Is your hosting running PHP scripts as the user Apache? This should only create conflicts if there are directories that were created via FTP (and will therefore not be owned by Apache).

It appears so ...

This should only create conflicts if there are directories that were created via FTP (and will therefore not be owned by Apache).

All existing directories were created by the admin account. Still, even if I give 'group' and 'world' write permission on the directory 'components', the installation script DOES create a directory com_mamboboard in directory 'components' but then reports: ("can't create directory com_MamboBoardTemplate"). I don't get it either; how come user Apache can create a directory but then cannot create a subdir in this new dir?

I tried some more stuff:
- changed the CHMOD setting of Mambo; the com_MamboBoard directory is now created with write permission for everyone but still the problem persists.
- Installed 2nd instance of Mambo and tried to install MamboBoard in this new clean Mambo; exactly the same problem.
- A friend suggested that PHP SafeMode might be a problem; it is 'on' for server and local. I can't change this myself. Could this be the problem?

admin Karma: 98	Re:Install error - 2006/01/06 00:13 Safe mode is liable to cause problems with component installation. There are some safe mode fixes available that may help, you can find them in mamboforge. Martin Brampton aka Counterpoint http://aliro.org http://black-sheep-research.com
