Question help with install

Hey all,

After a lot of hard work I've got my Joomla online.
Now I downloaded Kunena 1.5, but don't really know how to proper install it and put it on my website.
I'm asking this because after the hard work I don't want to jam my site because I did something wrong.

Some one please help :blush:

It can be installed just like every other component -- By Joomla installer in Extensions menu.

But what file do I need to upload?
When I want to upload the kunena.install I got the message:
JFolder::create: Path not in open_basedir paths
Warning! Failed to move file.
Unknown Archive Type

What do I do wrong?

Hello,

Read this doc : docs.joomla.org/How_do_you_install_an_extension%3F

I just read it, but when I want to upload the zipped file I get the message: JFolder::create: Path not in open_basedir paths
Warning! Failed to move file. (Even when I place the zipped file in the map of joomla).

And when I upload the installationfile I get the message: JFolder::create: Path not in open_basedir paths
Warning! Failed to move file.
Unknown Archive Type (Even when I place the zipped file in the map of joomla)

What to do next?

Do you have the safe mode on off ?
What is your php version ?
What is your joomla! version ?

Check that these directories have the permissions on 777 :

/components
/modules
/language/en-GB
/administrator/components
/administrator/modules
/administrator/language/en-GB

Hello misterdj, are you using a hosting provider or local computer installation for your joomla install.

Sounds like you have a permissions issue. This is very true if you are using an installation like XMAPP which does not always play nice with permission issues.

@xillibit, just wondering would it be better to have permissions on 755 on those associated directories, otherwise you leave those extrememly wide open. Just a suggestion

Do you have the safe mode on off ? - dont't know, where do I've got te look?
What is your php version ? - by my webhost I see phpmyadmin 2.9.2
What is your joomla! version ? - 1.5.16

For that safetything you've got to help me, because (as you noticed) I'm a bit of a noob on this.

Look in your phpinfo and search for safe_mode

This is phpmyadmin is different to you php version, you will see that too in the phpinfo

Do you have checked the permissions of joomla! directories ? You can look in joomla! backend in Help -> system info -> directory permissions

PHP Version 5.3.2

Cache Directory - Writable
Cache Directory - Writable
Log Directory - Unwritable
Temp Directory - Unwritable

Can there by a problem with this settings?
