[TYPO3-linux] (no subject)

[Doug Jordan]

I am attempting my first go at a typo3 install.  I am using version 4.1.6 as my web server does not yet support php5 for a 4.2 install.
I downloaded the source.zip and dummy.zip files, unzipped them on my local PC and then transferred them via ftp to my web server.
 
From the install.txt found in the root, under Install Guidelines - Typo3
I ensurred the files listed in step 3 are writable.
I am unsure how to accomplish step 4
"
4 - If you are setting up TYPO3 from anywhere other than on the server itself (where you can use http://127.0.0.1 as the address), open /typo3/install/index.php in your text editor and comment out lines 40 & 41 (adding /* at the beginning of the blank line before line 40, and */ on the blank line after line 41)"
as lines 40 and 41 are blanks when I open them in my editor so I am not sure which lines to comment out.
Next when I open my browser and point it at my website I get the following error:
The Install Tool is locked.

Fix: Create a file typo3conf/ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL
This file may simply be empty.

For security reasons, it is highly recommended to rename
or delete the file after the operation is finished
so next i created a file names exactly as follows "ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL" and placed it in the typo3conf folder but still I get the same error.
Next I browsed the archives and install documents as well as did a google search on the error and was unable to find a solution other than being advised that the file "ENABLE_INSTALL_TOOL" cannot have an extension, which it does not.
So I revisited the file typo3/install/index.php and commented out the following lines, assuming they should be lines 40 & 41
error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$PATH_thisScript = str_replace('//','/', str_replace('\\','/', (php_sapi_name()=='cgi'||php_sapi_name()=='isapi' ||php_sapi_name()=='cgi-fcgi')&&($_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED']?$_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED']:$_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'])? ($_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED']?$_SERVER['ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED']:$_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED']):($_SERVER['ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME']?$_SERVER['ORIG_SCRIPT_FILENAME']:$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])));

still I get the same error indicating the install tool is locked.
Please help an already lost newbie. lol
