I really want to test out MySource Matrix, but so far I've been unable to install it locally or remotely on my hosted server.
I'm getting this error at Step 3:
[quote]Could not find the init file for the nominated system root /home/virtual/site206/fst/var/www/html/matrix[/quote]
Previously I was getting an error and needed to CHMOD the cache/ and data/ directories. I don't have telnet access, so I did this via FTP commands, and perhaps that is part of the problem?
It looks like you're trying to install Matrix on an Ensim Pro based shared hosting server. We're still working out some installation issues on this platform, as the High Security mode of Ensim does prevent some of our installation routines from functioning correctly.
Edited to add that you may be getting the initial site root path incorrect. Ensim jails each domain into its own file system, but PHP doesn't see those jails. The correct path for your Step 3 looks like it should be:
/home/virtual/site206/fst/var/www/html/matrix
And not /var/www/html/matrix, as this is the jailed location and PHP won't find it there.
