[TYPO3] The Install Tool is Locked

[Isaac Heng]

Thanks. I did as instructed and the whole process takes only a few minutes.
   
  I downloaded the dummy.4.1.6.tar.gz and source.4.1.6.tar.gz into a directory called TYPO3 (original!). Used ssh to extract it. Currently the files are TYPO3/typo3_src.4.1.6  and TYPO3/dummy-4.1.6.
   
  Question: Do i need to move all the subdirectories so that they are directly under TYPO3?
   
  ......
   
  When I run TYPO3, I got the error message 403 Forbidden - You don't have permission to access /TYPO3/ on this server."
   
  The error logs show: [Wed Mar 19 20:15:00 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Directory index forbidden by rule: /big/dom/xabc/www/TYPO3/
   
  I do not know who set the rule or in which file the rule resides. A check with my hosting provider says they did not do anything to my account at all.
   
  If it is any help, 
   
  (a) I got this error message regularly:
    [Wed Mar 12 03:47:53 2008] [error] [client x.x.x.x] mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use 'RewriteOptions MaxRedirects' to increase the limit if neccessary.

  (b) Drupal is installed at my public folder and their htaccess file 
   
    # Protect files and directories from prying eyes.
<FilesMatch "\.(engine|inc|info|install|module|profile|po|sh|.*sql|theme|tpl(\.php)?|xtmpl)$|^(code-style\.pl|Entries.*|Repository|Root|Tag|Template)$">
  Order allow,deny
</FilesMatch>
  # Don't show directory listings for URLs which map to a directory.
Options -Indexes
  # Follow symbolic links in this directory.
Options +FollowSymLinks
  # Customized error messages.
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
  # Set the default handler.
DirectoryIndex index.php
   
  I do not think that is the cause because they give a 404 (page not found) error message whereas i got a 403 (forbidden).
   
  This happens when I tried other installations like Pivot.
   
  I am sorry to bother you guys. Just want to say any help is appreciated.

First, if it's a version of TYPO3 since 4.0, you do NOT need step 2.

Secondly, I don't know if it's a typo or not, but there is no
directory "typoconf3/" in any normal installation--it's typo3conf/

Finally, given that you say (in a later message) that it took three
hours to get the source into your webspace, it's obvious you're
working from a fairly slow connection. Perhaps some of the source
files have been corrupted etc. If you can, I'd recommend using ssh to
do the install--it shouldn't take more than about five minutes
(obviously you'll have to change the paths, urls and username to suit
your circumstances):

ssh -l username example.com
[your password]
cd ~/
curl -O http://puzzle.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/typo3/typo3_src-4.1.6.tar.gz
tar -xzpvf typo3_src-4.1.6.tar.gz
cd public_html
ln -s ../typo3_src-4.1.6 typo3_src
ln -s typo3_src/typo3
ln -s typo3_src/t3lib
ln -s typo3_src/index.php
mkdir fileadmin typo3conf typo3temp uploads uploads/tf uploads/pics
uploads/media
touch typo3conf/localconf.php
touch typo3conf/ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL

You'll also have to be sure that the directories created in the
'mkdir' statement are writeable by the webserver. Aside from some kind
of file corruption though, I'm with Virgil: I've never seen or heard
of the ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL file failing to work, so I think it must be
something unique to your installation.
