Has anyone run into this? I'm trying to setup a Joomla installation on a Network Solutions hosting account (basic linux, nothing fancy), but for some reason, I can't get the FTP settings to work.
The settings are correct (tested and working in Filezilla), but no go through the installation package.
Anyone have any ideas? - Google Chat: ennovative (at) gmail.com

- Do you mean you got an issue with the FTP layer on the Joomla installation? If so, may I know whether you got any error message?

In the "FTP Host" field, how about put "localhost" (without quotes) instead of 127.0.0.1 ? Please let me know the result.
Also, if I may add, you might want to ask your hosting to install suPHP on their server instead of enabling the FTP layer

Finally figured it out - messed around with the settings some more and got it to work with 127.0.0.1 and getting my /'s in correct placement for root folder.
Interesting note though - when I'd called Network Solutions, they said that I could only get FTP to work if I used their own Joomla quick-installer and that their systems didn't support internal FTP if I'd setup Joomla manually (turns out of course it was BS - this is why I keep recommending GoDaddy - they know what they're talking about). - Google Chat: ennovative (at) gmail.com
