Dear Joomlart,
I’m a fan: I believe your products are great. Yet, I’m very disappointed with my performance in installing the quickstart JA Wall. This is what I’ve done. Please tell me what I’ve done wrong. I will send you coordinates to the site once I’m done with this note.
1 – I have logged into my server at Amazon using Putty and WinSCP. There I have created a new database and a user with full access rights. I a previous attempt I even got rid of the previous database, but then the whole site wouldn’t show.
2 – I downloaded the Quickstart package, unzipped it and copied it completely to the htdocs directory. I then started the application and I was told to delete the Installation directory, as if everything was already there. I did that and the application started running, but the site didn’t ask me to define which database I would use, so I guess it is still using the old one..
3 – Since I couldn’t find the JA Wall template in the Templates Manager, I copied the template again, standalone.
4 – I also copied all the plug ins and modules as well, because the wouldn’t show in the manager.
5 – I wonder if I also need the latest K2. Your documentation doesn`t say much.
After all that, and having activated the template, this is what I have: http://184.73.253.1/joomla/
As you can see, a far cry from what is seen in the demo…:)
I will send you the coordinates to the administration and to access via FTP.
I hope you can help.
Again, thanks for trying to do something memorable.
Charlie
