activeCollab 1.0 installation process?

1, 2, 3

There's somethings that I'd like to know about the new 1.0 release :
- is it more easier to install in an exterior server, I mean without begging and fighting with IT ?
we don't have all permissions in our server because it's not a dedicated one and there are some security issues that make the variable "open_basedir" unchangeable but it changes for all clients not only me.
- if I don't want to use mysql storage (witch is the actual solution I use) but file storage, will I have in 1.0 the same problem as in 0.71 : Failed to import file '/home/www/client/tmp/phpYajGvs' because activecollab tries to write in a place where it's not allowed ?

Thanks

#1. Installation should be much easier than with previous version because of lower system requirements and improved installer, but it still cannot do all the work for you:

- You need to make sure that system meets activeCollab system requirements
- Installer cannot guess you database connection parameters
- Some folders are writable by activeCollab in order to continue the installation

#2. There is only one file storage engine in v1.0 (files are stored in /upload folder). We haven't had any problems with file upload and download in our tests.

great,
files are stored in /upload folder. Hope that this writable folder don't use an "absolute" path like /home/www/client ... but one like /upload.

thanks Ilija

activeCollab 1.0 does not use any functions that could violate open_basedir restriction.

One last thing i hope for today. where can i find the full directory tree so that i can amend this ?

# error — cache is not writable
# error — cache/templates is not writable
# error — compile is not writable
# ok — config is writable
# error — logs is not writable
# ok — public/avatars is writable
# ok — public/logos is writable
# ok — public/projects_icons is writable
# error — thumbnails is not writable

Or, do i need to manually create a "cache" directory ?
# error — upload is not writable

You don't have /cache, /complie, /logs and /thumbnails folders? I've just checked the archives and they are included in the zip.

Well, if they are missing you should create them manually and make them writable.

Just for the reference - what ZIP utility you used to extract the archive and what FTP client you used to upload the code to the server?

Thank you!
