[SOLVED] install osclass 3.3.2 on ipage not working please help

[smoothg314]

Hi I'm a newbie and I'm trying to install osclass 3.3.2 using ipage as my host service. When I upload the osclass files in the root folder, the osclass installation gives me an error message that the root directory is not writable so the installation doesn't continue.

I contacted ipage customer support but they said they can't give write permission to the root directory because of security reasons. They said I should create a sub directory to install the osclass files.

How do I install osclass on a sub directory?

You only need to change permissions on folder to be able write here.
Easiest fix is to set CHMOD to 777

I want to transfer my site to ipage, but I can not install script, it reports "Osclass database server is not available." I think that config.php is not correct, so can you send mi your config.php? In fact, I need only 'REL_WEB_URL' and 'WEB_PATH' because 'DB_NAME', 'DB_USER' and 'DB_PASSWORD' are ok, 'DB_HOST' is localhost, so, only two last could be problem.
In fact, I suppose that your 'WEB_PATH' is 'http://yoursite.com' or similar, but my is in IP address form because my site is live on other (old) host.

  Best regards.

This was problem:
'DB_HOST' is not 'localhost', but server name (url).
