Thanks in advance for any help - I'm starting to feel like a fool for coming up against errors so often. But here goes.

I have confirmed with my hosting provider that Craft CMS is compatible.

I have put /craft/ folder and the contents of the /public/ folder next to each other in the htdocs directory on my hosting server.

I've updated the location of the /craft/ folder in index.php (to $craftPath = './craft';)

When I navigate to mysite.com/admin I get Could not find your craft/ folder. Please ensure that $craftPath is set correctly in /var/www/virtual/mysite/htdocs/index.php

I've checked that the root folder is performing correctly - I can successfuly navigate to an image at mysite.com/pic.jpg.

I have a similar set up for one particular installation and have the $craftPath set as follows:

$craftPath = 'craft';

Which works fine.

  • Thanks Stephen, but that still doesn't work unfortunately: Could not find your craft/ folder. Please ensure that $craftPath is set correctly in /var/www/virtual/mysite.com/htdocs/index.php

  • Hmm, well the only function run by index.php to see if the craft folder exists is is_file on craft/app/index.php. Reading up on that on PHP's documentation, it says that the function can return false if the +x permission is not set for that file for the user running PHP, so maybe worth checking the craft, craft/app and craft/app/index.php permissions?

  • @Chris In addition to permissions, another thing to check is if you have any open_basedir restrictions in place in your php.ini file.

  • Thanks again Stephen - I've just checked and the permissions are set to 744 for all of those files. Although there isn't a craft/app/index.php - index.php is in the htdocs folder?

    Thanks Stephen - I went for a full reset in the end. Removed everything, re-downloaded from Craft site, re-uploaded as per their installation instructions, and now it's working :)
