Manual install on Debian style Linux (e.g. Ubuntu 12.04 LTS)[Solved] | Forum

Has anyone ever succeeded to install Oxwall 1.6 or 1.5.3 manually on Linux? What are the necessary steps? Did you have to sidestep the INSTALL.txt file? Anything that needs to be done which isn't specified there?

try this step: http://docs.oxwall.org/install:manual_installation
and change your permission files recursively to 777 :
- ow_pluginfiles/
- ow_userfiles/
- ow_static/
- ow_smarty/template_c

Mike, you mean you managed to install it, but it's not working and displaying improperly or you couldn't finish the installation process?
Please specify at what step of the installation you have an issue. Please follow the installation instructions at the manual provided by Simaung

That's WRONG instructions!!! There is absolutely no file or folder called install. The instructions say one should go to http://localhost/install. It's not there and going there (of course) gives an Error 404 message by Apache. There's an index.php file under the root (http://localhost/install) and there's a ow_install directory. From where should it be installed?

This is how the start of the installation looks (I have masked the path in the root directory). Shouldn't there be graphics and icons as shown in the instructions? And please note that I had to go to http://localhost/mysubfolder/index.php to get to the installation screen below, and not http://localhost/mysubfolder/install as the instructions say. There's no install file or folder.

there's something wrong with the settings of your local server, because as you see the path it shows index.php in it, it should not. it should look like this localhost/subfolder/install. Instructions in the manual are correct. Please, check your phpinfo file.

Which URL do I type in to install? There is NO file called "install", neither a folder with that name. So the URL http://localhost/subfolder/install will give an error 404 message.
That's what I said in the previous post: I typed localhost/subfolder/index.php to install because I cannot figure out which URL to use to start the installation process. There's no install file and no install folder. Which URL should I use to start the installation?

there's ow_install folder for it. I told you your server setting are not correct, which is why the installation gone wrong. Please check them, mod_rewrite in particular.

So, is the URL to start the installation with http://localhost/mysubfolder/ow_install/install.php?
I can't see any rewrite rule in .htaccess that redirects http://localhost/install to a file in the ow_install directory.
So again: is the URL to start the installation with http://localhost/mysubfolder/ow_install/install.php?
Or are you using a rewrite rule to redirect from http://localhost/install? Then where is that rule specified?

installation should start localhost/subfolder/install
this condition is set in ow_install/init.php
I noted earlier, that your server does not meet our requirments, which is why installation fails. Check your requirements.

Check this:
there's ow_install folder for it. I told you your server setting are not correct, which is why the installation gone wrong. Please check them, mod_rewrite in particular.
You must enable the rewrite module on apache2 (if you used apache2) and restart service apache2.
and run: localhost/oxwallfolder
or
installation should start localhost/subfolder/install#maybe :)this condition is set in ow_install/init.php

Hi, I had the same problem but I finally I found it!!!
1-When you install apache2 you have also to activate the rewrite module
2-When defining the VirtualHost you have to include RewriteEngine On adn RewriteOptions Inherit
For more details https://library.linode.com/...tion/debian-7-wheezy
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster@localdomain.com
ServerName localdomain.com
ServerAlias www.localdomain.com
DocumentRoot /srv/www/localdomain.com/public_html/
ErrorLog /srv/www/localdomain.com/logs/error.log
CustomLog /srv/www/localdomain.com/logs/access.log combined
RewriteEngine On
RewriteOptions Inherit
</VirtualHost>
