    • Step 1: Pretty much restore everything on my site back to factory settings <- Yes
      Step 2: Create database <- Yes, (or clean the current one)
      Step 3: Import MySQL database <- No
      Step 4: FTP my site <- No
      Step 5: Upload the rocketlauncher package also? Does this get it's own database? Last time I had issues with gantry not being installed, and the K2 plugins, and all kinds of mess. <- Read the link below :)

    • Why would I not import my database_for_joomla DB?

      Additionally, this all started with the configuration.php. What may I do next time to ensure I have the correct settings? I thought I did it all by the book (tutorial), but you can see the result :oops:

    • "Why would I not import my database_for_joomla DB?"

      It probably contains old "junk" and it's always recommended to start with a fresh/clean database to avoid errors. Besides that, it's also good to install in a clean directory.

      If it doesn't work out for you tomorrow i can try installing it myself. It's getting late over here, btw.

    • KK, I'm in southern AZ, so plenty o sun here.

      So, instead of uploading my offline Xampp thing, I should just install rocketlauncher, and buildit all from there?

    • Also, thanks again for your persistent patience. I really appreciate it.

      I've asked iPage to just blow it all away so I can rebuild from the ground up. it's better that way.

    • I would save the "Xampp thing" just in case, but you probably know that already. :)

      Well, if we can't get the Rocketlaucher working, there must be something odd with the host.

      We'll see how it goes tomorrow 8)

    • To be honest, I'd rather wait for you before doing anything further. That's why all those extra "Joomla Install" and "rocketlauncher1" directories were there: I've byeen trialing and erroring this whole weekend, to no avail! :oops:

      Althought I work from a secure computer, I'll be able to get home around one pm MST. From there I can upload any files if need be.

      Nonetheless, feel free getting started uploading any packages, templates, editing databases, etc. My primary goal as of now is to just get this website operational. :cheesy:

    • Actually, rethinking it, my local file is direct from rocketlauncher: I took the forum advice and decided to upload the demo content and just rearrange to my needs. Instead of starting over anew online, I'd rather use the content created locally.

      I don't think anything was corrupt (but who am I say otherwise), I think I just badly botched the config file. My previous template renditions went decently, which leads me to believe I just don't know what I'm doing config file otherwise.

      Plus, I think I manipulated other files, causing the error.

      Regardless, you're the go-to-guy, so I'll follow your lead. I just realized I did a lot more work locally then I initially thought.

    • Yeah, I got it! ...almost. It's loading to the directory, but how do I make it the default index file? As in, when I just want my Joomla to be my home page.

      Additionally, my RokIntroScroller is now not as tight fitting as it was. There is an empty space between the picture and the bottom of the showcase.

      I'll post my steps for any future Google results down the road:

      First, to allow Joomla login:
      <?php
      class JConfig {
      var $offline = '0';
      var $editor = 'tinymce';
      var $list_limit = '20';
      var $helpurl = ' help.joomla.org ';
      var $debug = '0';
      var $debug_lang = '0';
      var $sef = '1';
      var $sef_rewrite = '0';
      var $sef_suffix = '0';
      var $feed_limit = '10';
      var $feed_email = 'author';
      var $secret = 'xxxxxx';
      var $gzip = '0';
      var $error_reporting = '-1';
      var $xmlrpc_server = '0';
      var $log_path = '/home/users/web/b754/ipg.trialbyfirecc/directory/logs';
      var $tmp_path = '/home/users/web/b754/ipg.trialbyfirecc/directory/tmp';
      var $live_site = '';
      var $force_ssl = '0';
      var $offset = '0';
      var $caching = '0';
      var $cachetime = '15';
      var $cache_handler = 'file';
      var $memcache_settings = array();
      var $ftp_enable = '0';
      var $ftp_host = '127.0.0.1';
      var $ftp_port = '21';
      var $ftp_user = 'name';
      var $ftp_pass = 'password';
      var $ftp_root = 'ftp.mywebsitename.com';
      var $dbtype = 'mysql';
      var $host = 'trialbyfirecc.ipagemysql.com';
      var $user = 'xxxx';
      var $db = 'database_for_xxxxx';
      var $dbprefix = 'jos_';
      var $mailer = 'mail';
      var $mailfrom = 'This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.';
      var $fromname = 'Trial by Fire';
      var $sendmail = '/usr/sbin/sendmail';
      var $smtpauth = '0';
      var $smtpsecure = 'none';
      var $smtpport = '25';
      var $smtpuser = '';
      var $smtppass = '';
      var $smtphost = 'localhost';
      var $MetaAuthor = '1';
      var $MetaTitle = '1';
      var $lifetime = '15';
      var $session_handler = 'database';
      var $password = 'xxxx';
      var $sitename = 'Trial by Fire';
      var $MetaDesc = 'Joomla! - the dynamic portal engine and content management system';
      var $MetaKeys = 'joomla, Joomla';
      var $offline_message = 'This site is down for maintenance. Please check back again soon.';
      }
      ?>

      Second: Cleared entire cache per this thread www.rockettheme.com/forum/index.php?f=38..._v=viewtopic#p537701

      Third: Allowed time for replication

    • Hi again!

      Looks like you got it working :)

      Though i would have installed the Rocketlauncher in the "root directory" so you just type in the domain name and you get automatically to your site. Also installing into folders that contains spaces might be an issue.

      You can leave it as it is and do a re-direct via .htaccess or through some SEO/SEF component.
      There are many tutorials on the net on how to use .htaccess :)
