Hi,

the script cannot create the folder attachments. Maybe you try to create ot by hand.

Hi,

with the installer threw errors, you have to install some directories by hand with your FTP client.

Thank you for your help.

Hi,

from our 1.5 documentation:

Writing permission for your script is needed in this directory to be able to configure the files data.php and config.php during installation. This is the case if you're running PHP as CGI or as mod_php with disabled safe-mode. The installation script will stop when your webserver isn't configured as needed.

It might help to set chmod 777 to the whole phpMyFAQ directory to avoid problems during the installation. If you're running a very restrictive mod_php installation you should keep the chmod 777 for the following files and directories even after the succesful installation:

* the files data.php and config.php in the directory inc/
* the directory attachment/
* the directory data/
* the directory images/
* the directory pdf/
* the directory xml/

All other directories shouldn't be world-writable for your own security.

bye

Thank you very much Thorsten.

So finally I was able to install it.

But now all the login and passwords I am giving are not reconized!

I can't log in anymore, I've tried everything but nothing works.

What can I do???

Thanks for your help.

Hi,

the login name is "admin" and the password is the one you choosed during the installation.
