Installing TYPO3 3.8.1 with ISPConfig (SUSE9.3)

No problem with the installation of ISPConfig on my SUSE9.3

I love TYPO3 as a CMS and have decided on using it for my Portal Hosting services.

My problem is with installation of TYPO3 3.8.1 (I believe I am not the only one)
I believe it is a simple problem. It is just that I am not that verse with LINUX being a newbie.

TYPO3 have two tar file:

1. typo3_src-3.8.1.tar.gz
2. quickstart-3.8.1.tar.gz

Into which folder do we actually untar typo3_src-3.8.1.tar.gz and quickstart-3.8.1.tar.gz?

When i create a site in ISPConfig. It create the following directory:

/home/www/web10/web
/home/www/www.mydomain.com {which is link to the above}

I tried untar typo3_src-3.8.1.tar.gz and quickstart-3.8.1.tar.gz in /home/www/web10 and then renaming quickstart-3.8.1 to web

Following message appear when accessing www.mydomain.com:

"Cannot find configuration. This file is probably executed from the wrong location."

So, how exactly do we install TYPO3 on the same server with ISPConfig?

Any assistance is appreciated.

Thanks,

Installation of typo3 looks using the dummy package looks ok.
Going thru the 1-2-3 setup of typo3.

Hanging at Step1.
I think it is because of directories rights. Which directory and what is the command?

Do I have to create the database in ISPConfig first before using here? Then use that UID/PWD in step1?

Thanks for all the help guys.

Yes, you should create an empty database with ISPConfig first. Then use the database user and password that belong to this database.

 

TYPO3 and setting directories rights

Did what you instructed, Now, got the following error message:

/home/www/web13/web/typo3conf/localconf.php is not writable!

How do i set the directory right privileges?

BTW;
What do I need to do to get access to my ISPconfig page remotely?
(ie. https://suse1.mileswork.com:81)
Do i need to open/allow my TCP port 443 or/and create another entry in my firewall to allow TCP port 81?

Thanks
Jaf

 

You must make this file writable by the Apache user, e.g.:

Code:

chown <pache_user> /home/www/web13/web/typo3conf/localconf.php
chmod 644 /home/www/web13/web/typo3conf/localconf.php

Or you simply make it world-writable:

Code:

chmod 777 /home/www/web13/web/typo3conf/localconf.php

Port 443 has nothing to do with ISPConfig.
IS the server behind a router? Then you must forward port 81 from your router to your ISPConfig server.

 

TYPO3 not recognising admin/password login

Falko,

I've got typo3 to go thru the 1-2-3 installation steps. At the end of Step3 it just redirect to a blank screen.

So when I type in the www.domain.com again... it shows me an error message:

Error!
No pages are found on the rootlevel!

if I type www.domain.com/typo3 to go to the BE. It shows up the login screen.
Problem is I cannot login with the default UID/PWD of admin/password. Why?

I used www.domain.com as the hostname during the 1-2-3 installation steps. Did I do something wrong? ( used both dummy and testsite zip package)

Your help has been much appreciated.

Till,

In my previous TYPO3 installation (ie. without using ISPConfig), after finishing with the install, I should be able to go into the BE with the admin/password UID/PWD.

Then, I could set the template. But here, I can't even login. What could be the error? I believe it's not the template issues.

Any other leads?

TYPO3 testsite installation error

My check with phpMyAdmin shows that no table was created. Why?
Do I need to run the install again?

Thanks,
Jaf

 

Till & Falko,

TYPO3 installation is working now. Thanks for all the help and patience.
Excellent work.
