Hello All, I'm running XAMPP 1.5.1 on Mandriva Linux 2006, and trying to make Joomla 1.0.8 (Sunshade) work.
XAMPP 1.5.1 includes (among other things): - Apache 2.2.0 - MySQL 5.0.18 - PHP 5.1.1 & 4.4.1 & PEAR (It gives me the option to switch between PHP4 and PHP 5) - phpMyAdmin 2.7.0-pl2 - OpenSSL 0.9.8a Apache's working fine, I guess. I'm able to load Joomla pages onto my browser (Firefox). However, when I try to load some pages that needs to access the database (for instance, the content item managers) I get error messages that look like this: --- DB function failed with error number 1 Can't create/write to file '/root/tmp/#sql_6753_0.MYI' (Errcode: 13) SQL=SELECT c.*, g.name AS groupname, cc.name, u.name AS editor, f.content_id AS frontpage, s.title AS section_name, v.name AS author FROM ( jos_content AS c, jos_categories AS cc, jos_sections AS s ) LEFT JOIN jos_groups AS g ON g.id = c.access LEFT JOIN jos_users AS u ON u.id = c.checked_out LEFT JOIN jos_users AS v ON v.id = c.created_by LEFT JOIN jos_content_frontpage AS f ON f.content_id = c.id WHERE c.state >= 0 AND c.catid = cc.id AND cc.section = s.id AND s.scope = 'content' AND c.sectionid = '3' ORDER BY cc.ordering, cc.title, c.ordering LIMIT 0, 30 --- I've tried "chmod 777 /root/tmp", "chown -R nobody:root /root/tmp", and switching between PHP 4 and PHP 5 to no avail. I decided to return to Linux when I realized I couldn't get Joomla's SEF URLs to work on Windows XP/XAMPP (after more than two years of next-to-no-Linux computing). I don't want to retreat back to Windows if it can be helped. :) I'm at wit's end, but I thought (and am hoping :) the solution to this is obvious to somebody.
