This guide:
http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site/creating_a_new_site
states the following:

1. Renaming the siteaccess directories
As already mentioned, the plain site has two interfaces, a user interface and an administration interface. Inside eZ publish, these are called "plain" and "plain_admin". The "settings/siteaccess/" directory contains subdirectories for sites/interfaces that eZ publish may be configured to run. Navigate into the directory and rename "plain" to "tscm" and "plain_admin" to "tscm_admin".

When I enter the /settings/siteaccess folder all I have there is a admin folder, no plain and no plain_admin is there..

Anyone have a clue on this one?

To me the installastion of this 3.3 has gone all wrong..

I would say the installation went booobooo.. if you choose to install the plain site, then you should have a plain and plain_admin folder.. I do. Try again.

I'm not surprised with that reply.. I have done the installation 4 times now and i always get the same result, it goes right to hell...

Seems like that it wont write to the files, I have to manually enter information to the site.ini file on all installation attemts...

Suffering with both kernel (50) and kernel (3) errors...

Is there a way to set up this folders manually? with theyr contents?

Or can anyone provide me with a download address for the 2.2 version of ez publish? it has to be the .zip version since I don't have shell access to the account where I'm to install it..

And not the versjon with the installers.. just the ez publish

Erik do the folders have the right permission?
After you unzipped eZ, Apache should have write permission to the directories ( I guess you're using Linux)

To give Apache write permission to these folders, you can run this script:
-ezpublish_root-/bin/modfix.sh

or change the folder rights manually. For more info take a look at this link:
http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/installation/manual_installation/manual_configuration_of_ez_publish

Folders are:
var/*
settings/*
design/*

* = and all subfolders

Hope this helps.

as I start the installation script I get an error message telling me that the following folders don't have the right permissions..

Since I don't have shell access to the account I use cuteFTP's chmod function to set all the lilsted folders to 777, so the permissions should be right...

I have not tryed to write down the folders, and try setting them before I start the installation..

But I do get a "complain" at the startup of the installation about the php.ini file only has 8MB memory set, and that 12MB is recomended, but I can't see how that can have any affection on this mather, just thought I'd mention it..

You should really increase (or have it increased) the PHP memory limit to at least 12 MB; I don't think 8 MB will work (if so, then you're lucky). Regarding permission settings: When using the FTP client, make sure that you do the permission changes recursively (look at the suggestions that you get from eZ publish, it should be a -R a couple of places).
