[TYPO3] TYPO3-english Digest, Vol 34, Issue 44

[Bee Choo Tee]

Thanks Klaus and Krystian.

Have got my web host to extract the tar.gz files. Getting error messages
though.
I have renamed folder "dummy-4.0" to "cms". Seems like symlink from
/www/cms/index.php to wherever it's supposed to go is not wotking. When I
click on the link, my FTP screen says "Failed to change directory."

Have deleted the "if" statement in the index.php file at
/www/typo3_src-4.0/typo3/install.

DELETED:
if (1==0 || (substr($_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'],0,7)!='192.168' &&
$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']!='127.0.0.1')) {

die("In the source distribution of TYPO3, the install script is disabled by
a die() function call.<br/><b>Fix:</b> Open the file typo3/install/index.php
and remove/out-comment the line that outputs this message!");

}
When I go to http://www.my_domain_name/cms/, I get an error message (
localconf.php is not found!). I can see localconf.php in the
/www/cms/typo3conf folder.

Hmmm ... so where does this leave me?

On another note, I am looking at changing web host. Any recommendations for
a good host with a view to running Typo3? My current host in New Zealand
(where I am based) is expensive and inconvenient. Support Mon-Fri 9am to
5pm, 50MB (yes MB) storage costing about USD23 per month!!

Thank you one and all.

Regards,

BeeChoo

Hi BeeChoo

upload the .tar file and have your host untar it. That is a common thing
with hosts that dont alllow telnet/ssh precisely because you cant ftp
symlinks.

Google for "php shell". This is kind of script that can be useful if you
so not have ssh access. There is some possibility that with a php shell
you will be able to untar something at your host.

BTW you know you can download dummy-4.0.zip where there is no symlinks?
You just unzip such dummy.zip to the same folder where the TYPO3 source
is and everything should work. Try.
