Re: Where to upload the extracted rocketlauncher populus package

Dan,
Thank you for all your assistance. It looks like I have it working now and is running at http://www.hockeywiz.com. After I moved the directory and made the changes to configuration.php it still would not run and was displaying the same default web under construction page from my hosting provider. I then removed the original index.html from the root and it started to work.
Currently I am working on all the "unwriteable" red errors I saw during the pre-installation check and that are also viewable from within the joomla admin center. For example, I went to change the Populus Style from within the admin site template manager and I could not do so becaue the index.php file was not writable. I have been changing these to 777. One thing I noticed in the video tutorials that rocketthemes has is that they have an option to set a security checkbox from within the admin center to change from writeable to unwriteable. I'll have to see how they do this. Again, thank you for the assistance.

Make sure you set these back once you've finished doing installs etc. Folders should be 755 and files should be 644 as a general rule. 777 should only be used temporarily.

Dan,
I changed about 25 or so that were unwriteable but have it all documented. The 755 & 644 rule is good to know. Do you know the utility that allows an admin to change permissions from within the joomla admin center. It's a checkbox and I have seen it change the configuration.php and index.php files from unwriteable to writable while the were making template changes, etc. It's in the video's
