Hi,
I am Prasanth.E.G and i am new to Exponential CMS.I tried to install Exponential 3.6 (by Setup Wizard) on Linux Fedora Core 3,with Apache version 2.0,PostgreSQL 7.4.5 and PHP version 4.3.9. I am getting the following errors
1. "Insufficient directory permissions -The affected directories are: settings settings/override var var/storage var/cache settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin design"
i tried with the chmod and chown commands sited in the page and error persists. I ignored the test.

2. Only i can install the Site Type "plain" without any addon modules .With other site types or with any addon modules its giving error "EZSW-051 Could not install addon package <package name> " and
"EZSW-040 Failed to initialize site package <site type>"

3. While i tried with "Plain" Site type without any addon modules the Installation is 100% and the "Finished" page displays the following infos
Title: Plain
URL: User site, Admin site
Username: admin

But when i click the url link to user Site or Admin Site the Exponential Setup wizard is displayed.The Admin or User Sites are not displayed..

Please help me to resolve these issues..
Thanking You,
Prasanth E.G

Hi,

Make sure if Exponential installation wizard, created configuration files in settings/override and settings/siteaccess/(name) dirs. Exponential installer needs write access to settings settings/override var var/storage var/cache settings/siteaccess settings/siteaccess/admin design dirs.
