Message
One or more backup file is missing. The original file(s) can not be restored.

And i have changed the permissions to 777

As explained in www.jms2win.com/faq#sec-14, this is effectivelly a permission problem.

You have to check the permission of ALL the files that must be patched.
If you don't find it, you can also try to use the Joomla FTP Layer to use FTP to perform the update. This will increase your rights to perform the patches.

Thanks

I got the patches installed, I can still figure out how to get the rest to work.

In my case I like to create several subdomains, like:

subdomain1.mydomain.com and subdomain2.mydomain.com and so on.....

what do I have to put in:
List of domain names ?
Deployed directory ?

My server has cpanel "the latest" and I have: Unix Symbolic Links: Allowed

Do I have to prepare cpanel first, and if so please tell me what?

Do I have to create the database in my phpadmin first? or does your system do that ?obviosialy with different prefix (not using jos_) .....

Well thanks a lot before hand.....



The automatic installer is not starting as it does in your manual, I get this:
Index of /cgi-bin/ Apache/2.2.8 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.8b mod_auth_passthrough/2.1 mod_bwlimited/1.4 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 PHP/5.2.5 Server at subdomain1.mydomain.com Port 80)

For CPanel, see the configuration in the user manual chapter 3.2.5 page 17
or see FAQ /faq#sec-58
or as you have Symbolic Link allowed, you can also let CPanel provide you a specific folder for the sub-domain and in this case, you have to specify the deploy directory with this full path.

If you configure CPanel to share the same folder than the master website as explain in the first 2 point here above, it is adviced to configure CPanel first and to check this configuration with the "hello world" procedure
See also tutorial step 8 : www.jms2win.com/tutorial

For the database, proceed as you do usually when you install a new joomla.
I don't know if your hosting provider request to create the database before or not.
If you share an existing database in which you want to add new table prefix, of course you don't have to create a new DB as it already exists.
For possible architecture, see User Manual chapter 3.2.1 page 12.

Concerning the error you mention, I suppose this is a restriction of your server but I never seen this message before.

This is my second complete day trying to install this: if you tell me excactly what to fill in the below the I might be able to use your solution, if not I have to give up, and I have been working with Joomla for more than a year now, so here I go again:

In my case I like to create several subdomains, like:

subdomain1.mydomain.com and subdomain2.mydomain.com and so on.....

what do I have to put in:
List of domain names ?
Deployed directory ?

My Master site directory is: /home/mydomain/public_html


My server has cpanel "the latest" and I have: Unix Symbolic Links: Allowed

Do I have to prepare cpanel first, and if so please tell me...
I have added subdomain1 as my subdomain in Cpanel that is easy, do I have to redirect it to some folder, if yes tell me, what to write?


hello.php is working fine....

Thanks to Edwin

He got it to work right away, it works!

Thanks a lot
