a couple of errors during install attempt

hello all,

i just attempted to install the new 0.9 beta 1 and received a couple of "red" errors that will not allow the install to finish. they are:

/home/onegear/www//journal/ Not writable
/home/onegear/www//journal/templates_c Not writable

i've changed permissions on each one so they are both writable but i'm still receiving the errors. did i change permissions incorrectly? i did a chmod 1777 on the journal and templates_c on my local machine and then moved everything to my host.

thanks for your help.

Try to change it via 0777 maybe? If s9y still reports that the dir is not writable, you didn'T set the permissions properly, I'm sorry.

When moving files to your host via FTP, the permissions are changed. You need to change them on the target host, not on your source system. FTP programs like SmartFTP allow changing the permissions on the server.

aaaahhhhhh, okay. i didn't realize the permissions changed after transport.

would you happen to know of any open source ftp clients that would allow me to change permissions on the server. smartftp only runs on windows, correct? i'm running only linux and freebsd.

thanks for the info!

I'm sorry, I don't know any other FTP clients. But basically 99% of all FTP clients should support this, because its part of the FTP protocoll. You can even use the command line client to execute SITE CHMOD commands.

i just completed the install and visited the site for the first time. i received this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: serendipity_mb() in /home/onegear/www/journal/include/functions.inc.php on line 82

i'm not sure what is causing this.....

i uninstalled the 0.9 beta and installed 0.8.5. the install went well and i didn't receive any errors when visiting the site for the first time. i would still like to figure out what's wrong my beta install because i like some of the new features.

thanks.

I'd like to help out with this problem, but I cannot reproduce it on my machine.

How did you set your language and which charset have you selected in the s9y configuration? Would you be able to install the 0.9 beta again on your host and give me temporary FTP access? Then I could do some debugging.
