My Agile Project

The directory in which Joomla is installed is not writable for the apache user. This is THE problem !

1. Have a working installation of Joomla and install all plugins/modules/components you want to use.
2. Activate in Global Configuration Use Apache mod_rewrite and rename htaccess.txt to .htaccess.
3. Install Joomlapack (free edition is enought) available here. Configure it (Output directory in common settings/Basic, Profile settings/Advanced Archiver engine : JPA JoomlaPack Archive).
4. Make a full backup. Extract all files from the archive with eXtract, an application of JoomlaPack Native Tools.
5. Uploads all files to /home/groups/y/yo/yourproject/htdocs.
6. Create the 3 following directories backup, logs, tmp in /home/groups/y/yo/yourproject/persistent and change their rights to 777.
7. Start the restore procedure (Go to yourproject.sourceforge.net). Modify your file configuration.php with elements given at the end of the procedure.
8. In configuration.php change path of log_path to /home/groups/y/yo/yourproject/persistent/log and tmp_path to /home/groups/y/yo/yourproject/persistent/tmp
9. Edit your .htaccess file :

   .htaccess
   # Add the following line at the beginning of the file 
   php_value session.save_path /home/groups/y/yo/yourproject/persistent/tmp 
   # Modify the following line 
   Options FollowSymLinks 
   # Uncomment 
   RewriteBase / 
      

   %23%20Add%20the%20following%20line%20at%20the%20beginning%20of%20the%20file%20%0Aphp_value%20session.save_path%20%2Fhome%2Fgroups%2Fy%2Fyo%2Fyourproject%2Fpersistent%2Ftmp%20%0A%23%20Modify%20the%20following%20line%20%0AOptions%20FollowSymLinks%20%0A%23%20Uncomment%20%0ARewriteBase%20%2F%20

10. Change the output directory of JoomlaPack to /home/groups/y/yo/yourproject/persistent/backup
