I have looked everywhere.. does someone have the step by step installation instructions...
Nothing on whether you run an install.php file.. upload files?
install database tables....
I really would like to use this program for our church but am not able to install it...
Any help would be appreciated...

The Bible Study component installs just like every other Joomla 1.5 component. (Make sure you are using Joomla 1.5).

Go to Extensions | Install in the backend admin side.

Browse to the local zip file on your computer and click install. Joomla will take care of the rest and will indicate if the installation was successful.

Later on we will have patch versions that only have changed files from one version to the next that you simply copy over the top of an old installation but Joomla has a number of things it does automatically following an installation script so when you installing the component fresh you need to follow their procedure.

I hope this helps.

Blessings,

Tom

Thanks Tom:
I am not sure what happened. I removed everything and did it the way you suggested.. then followed the install components message after the install... works fine now....
thanks again
This is a great add on for our new website.. thanks

Glad to hear. Sometimes Joomla hiccups when installing and fails - and you have to try it again. Let me know if I can help you further. I'm trying to get some documentation up on this site now to help guide folks in using the component.

When installing biblestudy 6.00.07c under Joomla 1.5.3 I get the following error message:



Checking mySQL it is clear not table has been created. What shall I do. Is there a separate sql install file? (Other components install fine by the way)

Thank you for your help
