Magento

Still the instructions will not work as you have them.

1. wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/0.6.12510/full/magento-0.6.12510.tar.gz
2. tar -zxvf Magento-B1Preview-0.6.tar.gz
3. chmod o+w var var/.htaccess app/etc
4. chmod -R o+w media

This should be:

1. wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/downloads/assets/0.6.12510/full/magento-0.6.12510.tar.gz
2. tar -zxvf magento-0.6.12510.tar.gz
3. cd magento (or get inside the magento folder)
4. chmod o+w var var/.htaccess app/etc
5. chmod -R o+w media

===============================

If you are running php4 or php5.1.6 you will need to get the cgi binary and follow the following steps:

5. navigate to cgi-bin that sits within the magento folder
6. wget http://www.magentocommerce.com/support/php5cgi/php5-cgi
7. chmod 755 cgi-bin
8. chmod 755 cgi-bin/php5-cgi

There is not a “cgi-bin that sits within the magento folder”.
=============================================

Although the install for php4 - 5.1.6 is incorrect I changed the index.php to 5.1 to get it to install and commented out the “mcrypt” error.

Still error in logs on trying to upload an image.

still the same error message as my post here http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/424/ when trying to upload an image for a category or product.

I did change the allow option to All in my apache httpd.conf file restarting the server but that didn’t change one thing.

It was an example of what they had posted but doesn’t work anyway.

You have a cgi-bin in the magento directory then? There was not one in the download from the download link.  And you used the same path as listed on their page?  I don’t think so.

Do you have any idea how to fix the image error problem? If so let me know.

What’s your hosting configuration since it works for you?

Can you post a list of ALL the exact steps you took?
