    GoDaddy Hosting Server to Bitnami Cloud LAMP - Need Help

    Posted 13 years 4 months ago
    • Here are my steps so far;

      Zipped All Joomla 1.5 files in Public_html (GoDaddy) then downloaded joomla.zip
      Exported DB from phpmyadmin (GoDaddy) as mydb.sql.zip
      Created Bitnami LAMP instance (with no apps) Downloaded .pem key setup for SSH, SFTP via Cyberduck
      Created opt/bitnami/apps/joomla/htdocs/ and Uploaded joomla.zip and extracted files
      Created new DB with user/pass info and imported mydb.sql.zip (Bitnami Cloud)

      Edited Config.php with new sql info (db, user, pass) and changed tmp & log directory;

      Now I am getting "No configuration file found and no installation code available. Exiting..."

      Also tried to rename configuration.php-dist to just configuration.php and added new sql info (db, user, pass) w/ tmp and /logs directory. No luck. Same message.

      The site was built using Joomla 1.5 - Dominion Template 2010.

      Any help/suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

    • So got it working Successfully. :)

      (Forgot this was done to minimize sql injections)
      Step 1 : Move configuration.php to a safe directory outside of public_html.
      Step 2: You will have to modify the /includes/defines.php and /administrator/includes/defines.php files, more precisely, this constant:

      define( 'JPATH_CONFIGURATION', JPATH_ROOT ); If, for example you wish to move the file up one level and into a folder named "test" the constant will look like this:

      define( 'JPATH_CONFIGURATION', JPATH_ROOT.DS.'..'.DS.'test' );

      Step 3: Make sure the configuration.php is not writable at all, so that it can not be overridden by com_config.

      Step 4: If you need to change configuration settings, do it manually in the relocated configuration.php.

      Solution was simple; moved configuration.php from opt/bitnami/joomla/htdocs to opt/bitnami/joomla

      Thanks again.
      Cheers
