I don't know, the first impression is that the documentation seems clear, up to date, but it doesn't help you to achieve the obvious thing: to start building your site. Is there a clear way to do it?

Karsten Jennissen	Monday 01 December 2003 3:51:32 am Hi, the tutorial "Building an eZ publish site" is the best way to learn the system, but it depends on demo data installation (e.g. the "plain" sites). Could you describe what went wrong with the wizard? Maybe we can help you through it. In the wizard, you can select the demo sites to be installed. If you are using the new 3.3 beta, I think (but I ain't sure, because i haven't tried this) you can import the demo sites as packages. Go to set-up > advanced > packages, and click on import. Then go to /kernel/setup/packages and select the plain one. I don't have an installation available to check the instructions I am giving ;-) so there could be some variations. Just try and get as far as you can and if you have questions, come back. Once you have the plain site running, you can follow the tutorial step by step. Karsten

The file you need is doc/INSTALL

and I think what you are missing is Currect Permission of files and folders. Just try this under the root dir of eZ

Chmod 777 * -R

then remove all the files under settings/override, and start install eZ again(I recommend use setup wizard)

Hi,

the tutorial "Building an eZ publish site" is the best way to learn the system, but it depends on demo data installation (e.g. the "plain" sites). Could you describe what went wrong with the wizard? Maybe we can help you through it. In the wizard, you can select the demo sites to be installed.

If you are using the new 3.3 beta, I think (but I ain't sure, because i haven't tried this) you can import the demo sites as packages. Go to set-up > advanced > packages, and click on import. Then go to /kernel/setup/packages and select the plain one. I don't have an installation available to check the instructions I am giving ;-) so there could be some variations. Just try and get as far as you can and if you have questions, come back.

Once you have the plain site running, you can follow the tutorial step by step.
