Trouble with installation

[Lepter]

Hi. I installed the TE, but got an error. After entering the name and license key, error appeared:
Error [500]: Cannot access "http://www.mydomain.to/cgi-bin/te/te-chk.cgi
In the next topic I read that this may be the wrong permissions on the folder. I went to FTP and saw that the permissioins on the "te" folder were 775. I think that they should be 755.
Need i to change permissions on the "te" folder after its creation? Like this?:
mkdir te
chmod 755 te
That's how it should look like?
And one more question. My system is Linux CentOS, but I tried to install "Linux kernel 2.6.x" package.
Can there be a problem because of this?

I had the some trouble with installation. What you need to do is create an empty te-chk.html file and upload it into your domain's root folder before installation.

I can't answer you on your other questions though but I'm sure Jim will be able to do it.

I decided to experiment. I did what i wrote in my first post. I changed permissions after creation of the "te" directory. It worked. Everything installed properly. I was in admin panel already
And when during installation there was a question :Add crons fir TE automatically [Y/N]. I selected this line and pressed right button of mouse. The line was addeed again and installation was over. I looked higher and saw:
Add crons fir TE automatically [Y/N] ?
Add crons fir TE automatically [Y/N] ?
Is this very important?

The question about conflicts bcoz of different versions of Linux is still open.

Yes, it is important for the script to work.

If you wish to add the cronjobs automatically, type in "y" and press "enter". If you wish to add the cronjobs manually instead, type in "n" and press "enter". You will then have to log in to your server control panel and add them yourself. I suggest you to add them automatically if you can.

To add them automatically i must reinstall csript.
Are there zny problems with reinstallation. Should i delete folder with TE on the FTP and reinstall it again?

You don't need to reinstall TE to add the cronjobs. You can also log into your server control panel and add the cronjobs.

The cronjobs in question are the following:

Code: Select all

* * * * * /path/to/your/te/tedata/cron/cstat > /dev/null 2>&1
* * * * * /path/to/your/te/tedata/cron/cping > /dev/null 2>&1

You can manually add the two TE cronjob lines. They are located here /cgi-bin/te/tedata/cronjobs.txt
To check if cronjobs are added already, you can run this command to list all the cronjobs for the user you're logged in:

crontab -l
