[TYPO3-english] New User Question - pathnames

[Thomas Grzybowski]

Hi,

I obtained a trunk from git - and I am using that.  I'm not sure what 
version it is - the most recent in the 4 line I guess. I am running the 
install tool, but I get a similar error error though. See below:

Error in init.php: Path to TYPO3 main dir could not be resolved correctly.

This happens if the last 6 characters of this path, ....//var/ (end of 
$temp_path), is NOT "typo3/" for some reason.
You may have a strange server configuration. Or maybe you didn't set 
constant TYPO3_MOD_PATH in your module?

If you want to debug this issue, please edit typo3/init.php of your 
TYPO3 source and search for the die() call right after this line (search 
for this text to find)...

If you expect any help from anybody on this issue, you should save this 
page as an html document and send it along with your request for help!
Array
(
     [TYPO3_OS] =>
     [PATH_thisScript] => /var/www
     [php_sapi_name()] => cgi-fcgi
     [TYPO3_MOD_PATH] => install/
     [PATH_TRANSLATED] => /var/www
     [SCRIPT_FILENAME] => /var/www/typo3/install/index.php
)
