How to install Oxwall on a test server, not in the root.[Answered] | Forum

Topic location: Forum home » Support » Installation Troubleshooter and Server setup

KB Aug 14 '13

I have access to a test server currently running elgg, and we're looking at potentially making the switch to Oxwall. I was hoping to install it under testservice.com/oxwall , but I not sure how to approach it. I've set up the installation files under /var/www/oxwall , but I can't access the install page. Any suggestions?

Did you try the path www.domain.com/oxwall/install? Do you get any kind of errors or messages?

Yes, and I keep getting Error 403: Forbidden, even after running "chmod 777 ./*" in /var/www/oxwall (I have reverted it for security).

Ah, .htaccess stated "deny from all.

Now I get a different error: Fatal error: Class 'OW' not found in /var/www/oxwall/install.php on line 32

KB,

Please, check your config.php file in the ow_includes folder:

define('OW_URL_HOME', 'http://www.domain.com/subdomain/'); - it should look like this

I put the project on hold for a few weeks, sorry for disappearing. It turned out that I somehow managed to extract all the files from the zip into my ./oxwall/ dir without preserving the dir structure. So I fixed that issue, but I now have another one:

The installation page looks like http://www.mediafire.com/view/dm2jnbmu4jb6s2n/cx.png

and it always "failed to connect" after finishing step 1. :/

try to set the permissions 755 to the index.php file . get back to us if that won't help. Also, where is your software installed? make sure the root directory and url are correct.
