Installation Error

Post by bijaysayami »

Dear S9Y,

I am trying to install s9y but got following error :
I am using S9Y 1.8 beta and server apache.
===========================================
o check your local webserver installation, serendipity needs to be able to write the file ".htaccess". This was not possible because of permission errors. Please adjust the permissions like this:
chmod go+rwx

D:\www\frederik_hermann\logo-industries\www\blogs\serendipity/
and reload this page.
Directory D:\www\frederik_hermann\logo-industries\www/blogs/serendipity/uploads/ does not exist and could not be created. Please create the directory manually

=============================

Can somebody help me ?

Thank you in advance.....

Rgds,
BJ

You're using windows, so check if your directory "D:\www\frederik_hermann\logo-industries\www\blogs\serendipity" is writable for all your windows user, especially the one your Apache runs under.

Another reason may be that you wrongly configured your Apache. Use DocumentRoot D:/www/frederik_hermann/logo-industries/www/ instead of the backslashes.

Else you can try running Serendipity on XAMPP, that works. :)

Garvin
