TYPO3 On An ISPConfig Server Within 10 Easy Steps - Possible Permissions Issue?

Hello,

I am attempting to install Typo3 using Hans how-to. My server is running CentOS 4.4 with ISPConfig.

When I get to step Step7 creating the sym link, I get the following:

Code:

[root@server1 web]# ln -s /var/www/typo3_src-4.0.4 /var/www/web2/web/typo3_src
ln: `/var/www/web2/web/typo3_src': File exists

When I try to do STEP 8 – Modifiy the typo3/install/index.php file, I get the following:

Code:

[root@server1 web]# cd /typo3/install
bash: cd: /typo3/install: No such file or directory

doing vi /typo3/install/index.php just creates a new file.

By looking at the below, I am thinking my file permissions are not correct for some reason. I am not understanding why as I am following the how-to exactly. (I am also replacing the web1 in the how-to with the correct directory of web2 on my server)

Code:

[root@server1 web]# ls -l

drwxrwx---  5 root        apache 4096 Dec 20 06:38 uploads

If this is a permissions issue, I am not sure what to change the typo3 files/directories to what user.

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

About: /var/www/web2/web/typo3_src': File exists
First remove the default "typo3_src"file within your /var/www/web2/web/typo3_src.
After that create the symlink.

vi /typo3/install/index.php is NOT correct, because you have to remove the first /.
You've to perform the command: vi typo3/install/index.php within your /var/www/web2/web/ folder.

 

Will try this today Hans, thank you for clearing up my mistakes.

 

TYPO3 howto updated

I've updated the TYPO3 howto today.
Also an important note has been added, in case suPHP is used on the server.
