Can´t upload Drake via FTP
22 September 2007 15:43
Anonymous I always get the error 501 when I trie to upload Drake to my server. Some folders can´t be created. I put all access-rights to 777, so that can´t be the problem. I have no sql-support and like to use the gladius database. Should I try to use another FTP-program or do I have to change my hosting-company? I thought it is possible to use Drake on cheap and simple servers?
Thanks for any hints!

Anonymous There might be the problem.
Try to upload drake without setting rights to 777 and then it might worked.
On my webspace Drake works with 755 with no problems.

I use FileZilla for FTP and I think there is nothing better.

Anonymous Ok, I uploaded everything, put all files and folders to 755. Wich file do I open to start the installation? Just opening the mainfolder creates an error:
"Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request." this also happens with any other file (index.php, core.php....)

Anonymous Since Drake CMS is not yet installed all pages will redirect you to install/index.php, which is where installation starts from.

The fact that you still get a 50x server error means that probably the file permission you set is not correct.

Please read the file permissions policy of your host provider.
Then you might try changing the default write mode (editing install/index.php looking for $d_writemode) used by Drake CMS at install time.

Once Drake CMS is installed such write mode can be changed from the global configuration in the admin backend.

Definitively, this is not a Drake CMS trouble - but I would be glad to help you solve it and/or to finally improve Drake CMS so that the installation might be easier for other users too smile

Anonymous When I installed drake, I had nothing to change on my permissions.
They are by default 755.
So, I just installed drake and that was all.

With drake I had no problems.
Try to reinstall drake and don't change permissions before install.

Anonymous Hi

I have three different server environments, not counting my xampp localhost setup, that I do test installs to. One of those will not work with directory permissions of 0755.

I have to use 0777 on all directories, I have also had one config that required me to create the private/drake/ folder and set its permissions to 777 and then restart the install before I got a useable installation.

Good Luck...I use ws_ftp by the way

Anonymous Hi

I don't think the issue is with your ftp client..

Looks more to be a server config error what is the server config you are trying to setup Drake CMS on.

What is the host address you are trying to install to

Have you tried the veloce installer?

Anonymous Im using a localhost right now which works fine. As this project is for a customer it wont be used on my server, so I wont spend more time on bringing it up to my server. I´m sure this problem won´t repeat on the customes webspace. But thanks alot for the support!
