Installation problems

Hi All,

I’m having trouble actually getting textpattern to run/install.

I have a local server set-up using MAMP however I cannot seem to install/config textpattern at all.

I have amended the “hosts” and “httpd.conf” files and I copied over the textpattern files onto my sever however, I cannot seem to load the install/config pages through my browser.

Re: Installation problems

Please provide more details about any error messages you get (and where/when they occur) and which changes you made.

Don’t know if you found the Detailed Installation Instructions?

Re: Installation problems

“Not Found

The requested URL /textpattern/ was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.59 (Unix) PHP/5.2.5 DAV/2 Server at example.dev Port 80”

I basically keep getting these messages, i’m guessing the textpattern are not being found.

I’m following the instructions in the written textbook…it refers to v 4.0.4 not the latest 4.0.6 however I don’t believe this should make a difference.

Re: Installation problems

Check if .htaccess is there.

Re: Installation problems

If you’re not seeing an htaccess file, open Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and run:

defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall "Finder"

Re: Installation problems

If the /textpattern URL was not found, you installed the files in the wrong place.
