Hello rodw,
I try to installed new FrontAccounting v2.3.7 and login as admin. I able to Install Language. Extension, Themes/ Chart of Accounts. The only requirements is you must login as the first company you created with FrontAccounting.
If you worry about the permission issue. you may follow the step below to create a new FA 2.3.7.
1) Create MySQL Database
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
drop database accountdb;
create database accountdb;
use accountdb;
GRANT ALL ON accountdb.* TO 'apache'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'yourpassword' WITH GRANT OPTION;
flush privileges;
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2) Downloads and install FrontAccounting 2.3.7
2.1) tar -zxvf frontaccounting-2.3.7.tgz
2.2) chmod 777 modules
chmod 777 company
chmod 777 lang
chmod 777 tmp
2.3) Open Firefox Browser
http://www.yourdomain.com/frontaccounting
2.4) Setup it and enter your database, admin informations
2.5) After completed. Change the permission as below:
chmod 755 modules
chmod 755 company
chmod 755 lang
chmod 755 tmp
chmod 755 themes
chmod 755 sql
chmod 444 config.php
chmod 444 config_db.php
rm -rf install
NOTE: If you have more than 1 company setup in your FrontAccounting, please use the permission below:
chmod 644 config.php
chmod 644 config_db.php
These 2 files must be writeable to update the new company information. For security reason, I use chmod 444.
You should be able to install any languages, extension, themes, charts of account. Hope the step above work for you. I usually use the step above to installed FrontAccounting. Thanks You.
Cheers,
tclim
