1)
I have a 2.0.15 test/staging version runnng on Win Vista Professional (using Apache 2.2.11, PHP 5.2.8, MySQL 5.1.34). It is running perfectly and is identical to our (RHEL5) live version except that mod_rewrite is turned OFF on WIndows and ON on Linux. I tried to upgrade to 2.5 RC3 exactly as I always did before successfully on both XP and Vista. UAC is turned OFF on Vista.
* I have a ../fag folder with old version
* I merge the new version with files and details from old version (favicon, attachments, data.php, .css'es, changes to index.tpl (menu reorganisation, a .js visitor counter etc.) into ../faqnew folder
* I execute ../faqnew/install/update php
This time I get a unix-type error message
Error: The file ../inc/config.php is not writeable. Please correct this!
Error: The backup file ../inc/config.bak.php could not be written. Please correct this!
.. what I never had before on Windows
I granted 'full controll' to /faqnew folder recursively for *all* users of the system - human user as well as system users - from /faqnew context menu .. properties .. security tab. Checked that setting had effect for /inc folder and config.php file. Problem persists - I cannot get past page 2 of the upgrade script.
Am I overlooking something or does the 2.5 RC3 upgrader not handle Windows properly? If the latter is the case can you give a 'hack' so that I can skip this check?
2)
The bonus question: I do not see a 'colors.css' file in /templates of 2.5. Is there any way to control the colors of the system in 2.5 (I definitely do not like the default colors of 2.0 so if 2.5 is not better ... !
