problem with DDLCMS installation

[Godly Chaos]

⨂ The owner or group of the Document Root and the vhost user or group is not the same. The Document Root and Base Directory will have to be chmod'd 775 or 777 for this installation script to complete successfully.

what do i do?

install manual package

I do have a question tho:
Are you on direct admin? And is the domain your using it on a subdomain or addon domain?

[Godly Chaos]

You get that warning for one of 2 reasons:

1. Your document root directory (ie. public_html) is not chmodded to 777 or 775.

2. Your document root directory is not "owned" by your hosting username. Do you have SSH access to your server? If so, we can change the ownership for the script to install properly. If not, we can ask your host to "chown" your document root to your hosting username.

Failing that, you can install via the manual method -- it's a little tedious, but it works perfectly.

If you need help, post on http://www.ddlcms.com/forums for faster support.

Of course we can do the installation on your host for you free of charge if you still have any problems.

well I think you need to look into this because
1. I am a host and it still wont install on addon domains in directadmin lol
2. even after doing your steps 1 and 2 it doesnt install meaning there must be an issue however I am done telling you this...since doing it manually works

Hey r0ck, can you run this command via SSH (using Putty) on the account in question:

1. First login to server as Root
2. Navigate to the user's document root (public_html), example:

cd ~username/public_html

3. Type this command:

chown -R [username] .

This will change ownership of the user's doc root to his username, which the script runs as and tries to execute installation.

I have run the auto installer in an addon domain for another user, about a week ago, and it ran with no problems (that was an addon domain via cpanel).
