Just tried to install WordPress into the root directory for a client. Received this message upon failure

could_not_copy_to_domain_root []

Also tried installing Joomla to root as a test and got the same error.

I'm running 5.0.3412

Help ASAP please as the client is not happy!

Can you tell me if you have enabled remote_installapp?

Please send the server login info to lxhelp at lxlabs.com

Thanks.

If you mean make sure that "Disable Installapp" is unchecked under Admin/Advanced/General Setting the yes, it is unchecked.

I've installed several copies of WordPress into the root for clients on this server so something has changed recently

Log in details sent by email

Thanks for your help

Your entire installsoft directory got deleted. We upgraded our installsoft, and most likely the installsoft-upgrade got interrputed and the file was corrupted. It should work fine now.

Thanks.

This is a mistake on your VPS provider's part. He has configured remote installAPP in hyperVM, but added the url Wrong. Instead of /lxadmin, the actual path should be /lxadmin/installapp/

It is very clearly said that, the url should be in such a way that "url/application.tar.gz" should be accessible.

please ask him to correct this.

Thanks.

It turns out that they'd upgraded the server to Centos5 without telling anyone!

Running /script/centos5-upgrade fixed this bug (and no phpmyadmin) but may have introduced another one with SSH which I'm playing with.

But I and my clients are up and running again so I'm a lot happier Smile

I just try installing Joomla in root and got the same error message:could_not_copy_to_domain_root []. I do use remote storage. First thought it had to do with the wrong URL, but this seems to be OK.

The remote url should be in such a way that remote_url/application.tar.gz should exist.

Thanks.

Yes it was the URL, but not what you would think. Very weird thing this was. I put installapp folder on the primary domain. From browser I could see the folder (I activated Options +Indexes for it) without problems. Trying to access it with lynx from the server however it would give Error 403 forbidden. That only happened with the primary domain all others can be accessed with lynx from the server. Probably you have an explanation for that, but for the moment I moved the installapp folder to /var/www/html/ on the node and there it works fine.

I tried to install Drupal today and in the domain's root. It fails. I tried all possible variations of how you can interpret the help text:
  • only a dot (the slash is already there outside the field)
  • only the slash (the dot is end of sentence dot)
  • slash and dot

All return with the path_already_exists error and the only way to correctly install is in a folder but that is not what I want. So please fix this bug (the help text doesn't keep its promise) and make it more intuitive for the user.

I'll have to install by hand now Crying or Very Sad

If providing a '/' is giving a path_already_exists error, then it is a major bug, but I am not sure that's possible. I will look into this.

thanks.

is this offically a bug? Ive been asked to test LXAdmin by my hosting company from a user perspective and one of the things I personally do alot on Cpanel and Directadmin is use the script installers to install into the root dir. Tried with InstallApp and got the cant install into / error message.

Hello there,

I tried to install joomla with installapp. I do not have any kind of remote url. I also tried other scripts and they don't work as well.


could_not_copy_to_domain_root []


I have the last version until today.


Thanks,
R. Mendes

An error I found was that when installing software using InstallSoft, it puts TWO (2) slashes "/" after domain and before directory name. This is a major bug because then every link (in LxAdmin and within script config) has TWO (2) slashes in it.

InstallApp can install into root. The only problem is that some applications have multiple // in their urls. This is something we are working on.

thanks.
