Linux uncompresses but missing files

Post by kcongd »

HI, I'm a newbie and encountered problems from square one.  I don't think my download was successfully uncompressed on my web server (for example there are no dirs -tmp- -tmp/templates_c-  ETC. referred to on step 4 of you help quick install guide.

Here's my config as best I can tell:
Trying to install CMS MS 1.5.3, using PHP 5.x hosted by godaddy LINUX OS.  I downloaded the code to my WIN/XP computer, then uploaded it (as is) to the host server using an FTP pgm (CORE LITE FTP).  After loging on to the host account, I used their file manager and double clicked on the file which appeared to uncompress the file creating an expanded folder/file structure which I considered 'successful'. 

I am anxious to try your product and any help or suggestions are appreciated.   thanx  Kent

I see the folder/file structure, but my concern was that I can't find files referred to in the install guide step 4, where I'm suppose to change permissions.  It references these folders:  tmp, tmp/templates_c, tmp/cache etc.
None are found on my host site??

I took a snapshot from my ftp program and attached it

Which download should i have used???    I'm starting from scratch, the full version "cmsmadesimple-1.5.3-full.tar.gz " is probably what I needed??  Yes/no ??

I am currently reporting this problem from the download "cmsmadesimple-full-diff-1.5.2-1.5.3.tar.gz  "
