Hello guys, I am a newbie with joomla, and seem to be having problems as i try to explore it. Can pros in the house please enlighten me on what I need to know as a starter.

first on my installation page I am having these error messages
C:\wamp\www\funassembly\assembly\libraries\pattemplate\patTemplate.php on line 1424
C:\wamp\www\funassembly\assembly\libraries\pattemplate\patErrorManager.php on line 202

Thanks!

Maybe it's just me but what I see here is line number (which could mean anything) and no explicit error(s) mentioned.

You mind being more explicit? Thanks.

i am interested

@kok Have you gone to see what happened to those lines in question? View them to understand what's wrong with them then,

I can give you a free e-book on joomla "Joomla For Dummies" send me a mail noiblism@gmail.com with the subject "Joomla 4 Dummies"

@ nobil
pls ur email is not correct

Top of the day guys. please accept my apology for reporting late. I have been off duty since I posted the last message.

The actual error messages are:

Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\funassembly\joomla\libraries\pattemplate\patTemplate.php on line 1424
Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\wamp\www\funassembly\joomla\libraries\pattemplate\patErrorManager.php on line 202

What I have on line 1424: $this->_modules[$moduleType][$sig] = &new $moduleClass;


and on line 202 of the stated file: $error =& new $class( $level, $code, $msg, $info );


Another problem is this, I read through the joomla installation guide and did set it up manually but when I tried to log into the administration login it still bounce, even when I can access the database to confirm the login detail. I even had to copy and paste, it still bounce. please what could be the problem??

Thanks all!

try the fantastico installation in your cPanel

before fantastico, delete any existing joomla tables (usually prefixed by "jos_"). As a matter of fact, delete the entire database that you created for joomla (if using an existing database that you already have, just delete the tables as referenced in my first sentence).

good luck!

Thank you guys! I really appreciate.

@yawatide. I have just done what you advice. deleted all the database on my server, it still pops out thesame error message.

@ikmomen. PLZ, How do I go about the fastastico method?

hmm, next question:
What version of php are you running?  I believe the latest joomla software requires php5, not 4.  I say this cos I just now noticed the "deprecated" as part of your error msg. Maybe it isn't the problem but recently, I was installing community builder on a client's joomla site and nothing was working. It was only after I was searching for something else that my eye caught that the host was still using php4. After I requested for an upgrade, the problem went away.

Check it and let us know.

Thanks

Deprecated messages are just for the coder to know that the language constructs being used are outdated and are already phased out. In most cases, the code still runs fine, the error just gets thrown according to the error reporting level that you have set in php.ini. from what you have posted, I am unable to deduce what goes on right there.

perhaps posting for help on any one of the joomla forums out there might solve your problems quicker.

Exactly, the version of php should be d problem

I am using the latest version of Wamp server which I think is PHP5 compatible. either way, I will check it out.

Thanks for all your info!

yea guys, it works now! Thanks for all your support. I had to uninstall the Wampserver and re-install it. Though the "Deprecated" error still appears but its perfect now.

@olawunmi, I you are absolutely right about the error message been a notice of an outdated language. Thanks!

@yawa-ti-de; I appreciate your infos. Thanks! I owe u a rap of Guguru & Ekpa!

he he, glad to know that it works. We are all here to learn and be taught. Now you have something added to your arsenal for when it happens to you again and/or someone approaches you with the same issue

yea thanks! you can say that again, and again and again!!!

Greeting to everyone in the house. A joomla newbie is here.

How do I use joomla!?

www.joomla.org should point you in the right direction.

good luck!

pls and pls can someone out there help on how i can install script on the server can anyone out there teach me that,with step by step picture guide, what and what that i have to do first before, and what and what that i need to do first
here is my email robhilson24@rediff.com
the script is php

actually will be hoping to hear from you soon,

1) stop triple posting
2) you install it the same way you install html - ftp or click "upload" in ur cpanel. There is nothing special about "script". A file is a file is a guess what? you got it - a file

good luck!

So all along you meant uploading a php script to a server.Why not use a ftp client or doesn't the server have it's own ftp uploader.

Turn on Apache mod_rewrite and configure your .htaccess file to filter out XML files.
