Title: Help: Still not quite working
Post by: wjhdiz on August 24, 2010, 01:22:07 PM: Hi,

I followed the steps for installation:

1. SMF 2.0 RC3 is installed in http://xinyidesign.com/smf
2. Under Admin -> simpleportal -> configuration -> general setting:
a) Portal Mode: Standalone;
b) Stand alone URL: http://xinyidesign.com
3. Save and go the the home page, get errors...

Can someone help? Any help are greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Post by: AngelinaBelle on August 25, 2010, 09:23:30 AM: That file looks OK, as far as I can tell (I cannot verify that $forum_dir is correct).
Please tell exactly what errors you get, and when you get them.

Not a missing file (404 error), not a permissions problem (403) error.

When I try http://xinyidesign.com/index.php (http://xinyidesign.com/index.php), I get a slightly different error than if I try http://xinyidesign.com

To get to the bottom of this, you may need to find out what errors are on the web server log.

Post by: wjhdiz on August 25, 2010, 08:22:29 PM: Very good catch!
I checked the error log and it said:

Quote
[Wed Aug 25 19:07:19 2010] [error] [client 24.60.83.104] SoftException in Application.cpp:256: File "/home/xinyide1/public_html/index.php" is writeable by group, referer: http://simpleportal.net/index.php?topic=6291.0;topicseen

Then checked the permission of the file 666. I changed it to 645 (most save!), it works now. Whoever documents the steps, please take a note.

Thank you all.

The best advce is -- if you don't know what an error number means, find out. If you have a server error, check the server log.

Post by: wjhdiz on August 26, 2010, 12:24:42 PM: I forgot to select message icon to solved. Here is what need to be documented:

Make sure the permission of file be readable and executable by world, so it should be xx5 correction, 5 instead of 4.

Thanks AngelinaBelle for patiently go over with me on all these details.

Post by: AngelinaBelle on August 26, 2010, 01:27:00 PM: Which settings will be permitted (664 or 666) depends on your server.

Maybe tips like this can be added to the Install section of the documentation.
