Quickstart od normal Tempalte?

Hello Cyberek,

Achim

Hi together,
I downloaded the normal version and the rest files, installing the normal was ok, but the restfile could not installed, the error is: JInstaller: :Install: Die XML-Installationsdatei konnte nicht gefunden werden.

Quickstart is a normal Joomla installation which also has includes demo content and modules/component settings.
Standard template - is a standard template that can be installed via Joomla extensions manager.
Rest Files package is a zip that needs to be unzipped locally - it contains PSD's of the design, some additional plugins etc.

Hi,

thanks so lot for your explanations. The rest should I transfer via FTP into the templatefile, that´s ok?

The modulpostions is according to the documentation "Mainmenu" but after the templateinstallation I found the positions menu1 til menu10 only, not the pos. mainmenu

best regards
Achim

Sorry, could you be more specific?
If you are starting with fresh installation - use quickstart.

Hello Cyberek,

I cannot install the quickstart, that is my problem. I get no informations no error no warning why it could not be installed.
Then I tried to install the standard (normal) version and it could be installed.
Now I have create the mainmenu with submenus and set the modulposition to menu1. But I cannot see it. I think that is not ok. In the manual was the position for mainmenu called mainmenu. But in the template I do not have the position mainmenu only the positions menu1 up to menu10. therefore I set the menu1-position. Nothing was shown.

What about the template restfiles. Should I transfer it via FTP into the template file in the tmp-file and after this I have to install it with "installing from directory", I do not know this because I never did it before.

thanks and best regards

At which step does the quickstart stop? J2.x or J3.x?

at joomla 3.3,
- I did install manager, starting installing and after a few seconds it went back to the manager with no informations, no error, I think does not happen something

Hi Cyberek,
me again. What should I do with the rest files, Modules, plugins, source. Should I transfer it via FTP to the server but in which directories. Should I copy the complete files or only the data contents of these files to the same file on the server?
thanks and regards

It looks like you lack of basic Joomla knowledge. Going with quickstart is the easiest way possible.
J3.x installation has 3 steps - 1. you provide basic configuration (site name, superuser), 2. database info, 3. Overview, 4. Installation itself.
If you have problem with last step and installation reverts you to 3rd step, please check this thread:

The problem is well known and is connected with wrong hosting configuration.

Hi Cyberek,

thanks, that is not my first installation, wether Joomla nor a template. Up to now I have had no problems with installations.

As I found out that this problem could be a part of server or Joomla 3.3 configurations. How must be the configurations for the quickstart. I use PHP 5.5 stable, do you need some more infos? Or could you tell me how the configuration has to be.

thanks and best regards

Have you checked the thread I have provided? There is a link to image showing where to check if server mets Joomla requirements.

Hi Cyberek,
thanks for the link, but the links do not function inside this article. the .jpg could not be found. Also the other link too.

Achim

Hi,

I found that the quickstart is incl. the compl. Joomla installation. I do not need it, my Joomla 3.3 is running since month.

Now I installed just only the normal version additionally the rest-files with the modules and plugins. and all is running.

What about the file "source" with the psd-files. In which directory should I copy this (or just only the psd-files to which).

sorry, I am a little bit busy at my normal work and could not think

thanks and best regards

PSD are Photoshop documents with graphic design of the template. You don't need to do anything with them if you don't know what they are.
