Question Trying to install Kunena - having problems with directory permissions

Hi Sozzled thanks for the reply...



I have gone through each relevant directory/sub directory and set the Perms to 777

I am trying to install Kunena 1.5.9 and I currently have 1.5.6 installed.

I am running Joomla 1.5.15

Apache version 2.2.14

PHP version 5.2.11

MySQL version 5.0.89-community


Hope this helps?

Thanks in advance

Red.

Thank you very much for your reply. You clearly meet and exceed the minimum technical requirements for Kunena. It's a bit of a puzzlement why your installation fails. The evidence seems to suggest that it's a directory permissions problem.

I noticed, from an earlier message, you said something about a .TAR file. Are you trying to install Kunena 1.5.9 from a .TAR file? Have you tried to use the .ZIP installation kit instead (this is a long-shot, I know, but I've heard other people have had problems installing with a .TAR archive)? Let's at least eliminate this possibility.

I originally tried the zip file and had issues. It was Xillibit's post above that prompted me to try the tar install.

I have set the permissions in the components/com_kunena and administrator/com_kunena to 777 almost every file and every folder and I'm still not having any success.

It's got me completely puzzled.

Yes, but you still haven't answered my question. Now that you have changed directory and file permissions, have you attempted to use the .ZIP file installation and, if so, what are the specific "issues" that you encounter?

Sorry Sozzled, I thought I had. I did the permissions first before the original zip installation and I got the (I think I posted this in a different thread) white screen:

-1 - An error has occurred.
It was not possible to copy the selected file.

Hence trying the tar version.

If it wasn't on a live site I would've tried manually deleting all the previous folders, but I didn't want to risk losing the forum completely.

Thanks...

That was it? That's' the only information you got? Was there more?
