CMS Made Simple Forums

I tried to install the CMS made simple in Sourceforge hosing environment, as a part of my project web space. When i initiate the install.php, i get the following error:

tmp/templates_c is not writable, exiting

I followed the online instructions and did chmod 777 on the following directories:
tmp/templates_c
tmp/cache
uploads
uploads/images

The error persists.

phpinfo() tells me that the server is an Apache/1.3.33 (Unix) PHP/4.3.10

The version.php of the CMSMS tells me the following
$CMS_VERSION = "1.1.2";
$CMS_VERSION_NAME = "Savaii";
$CMS_SCHEMA_VERSION = "28";

I reported the error to Sourceforge, but they claim that everything is hunky dory on their side, and that i should report a bug to CMS made simple

I also read this post
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... l#msg11333

and tried to follow it, but cannot make CMSMS budge

Please help

Hello,

which installation procedure are you following ?
What have you done so far ?
Which messages/warnings/errors have you seen so far ? Only "tmp/templates_c is not writable" even after chmod 777 ?

I am using the [url=http://Shell%20Install%20http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/User_Handbook/Installation/Shell_Install]Shell Install[/url] procedure, with a modified step 2 - i uploaded the zip archive of cmsmadesimple to SF server via SFTP protocol.

I performed steps 1 through 6, and when i attempted step 7, i got an error message in the web browser
/home/groups/w/wa/warify/htdocs/cmsms/tmp/templates_c is not writable, exiting

Then i tried to follow the instructions from this topic and created the folders and file in /tmp/persistent, and then i tried to modify the fileloc.php

Nothing new happens
I tried to attach a screenshot, but no success. Will try later.

According to
http://wiki.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php ... ll_Install
the check on templates_c occurs at step 8, not 7.

Thank you for pointing to the other thread on SF installing

What exactly are the folders names under /tmp/persistent ?
Something like /tmp/persistent/t/theproject/cms/cache etc ?

Is there any resolution to this? I'm trying to install 1.3 and keep receiving this error, even though I have chmod 777 to the requisite folders...
