    • WHY do the unzip locally, when it seems faster and more reliable to explode the archive on the server?

      I did notice that when I did this, then installed, the files got a mix of ownerships of the admin user I uploaded and extracted and installed as and the domain owner account. But the Joomla Admin throws up errors, and this is easy to fix with a recursive chown.

      I know that Joomla is a LOT of files, and have seen some mystery troubles where a file or two got dropped in the transfer. I'd rather not face that again.

      Thanks for the education...

      In a 'perfect world' extracting the package locally and FTPing to your host should work.

      I guess these instructions still stand because some hosts don't, believe it or not, have the option for users to extract files server side.

      I agree, extracting server side is the best option, and usually after failed attempts per the 'standard instructions', that's what we suggest when the option is available.

    • Hi,

      I believe I did everything as instructed, but my site said "restricted access" so I ran diagnostics on got this:

      Warning: file(joomla_1.5.txt) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/villagh2/public_html/diagnostics.php on line 112

      Notice: Undefined offset: 1 in /home2/villagh2/public_html/diagnostics.php on line 115
      Error Filename Type
      SECURITY /home2/villagh2/public_html/rt_sectionrows.php File does not contain _VALID_MOS OR _JEXEC. Read more

      also...

      Error Filename Type
      MISSING /home2/villagh2/public_html/ File is missing

      ...but it doesn't say what file is missing.

      Thank you for your help!

    • The error indicates you are missing files.

      Try uploading the zipped RL package and extracting it on your host.

    • Thank you, JEM.

      That's what I used to upload was the RL package. Everything seems to be there. All folders that I unzipped and root files...

    • Here was the additional info on this matter:

      _VALID_MOS

      Every included file in Joomla should contain the following line of code:

      defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Restricted access' );

      If a file doesn't include it, Joomla Diagnostics will display a warning after checking a few conditions first (to remove most false positives).

      --so should I place that line of code somewhere?
      --do you think more than one file was missing if it didn't mention file(s) above?
      --this was a first install attempt fyi

      thank you.
