Hi Folks

Complete newbie here!

I've just downloaded the Quickstart package (Joomla 2.5) for Benessere (looks a great template by the way) and uploaded everything to my server.

When I run the Akeeba quickstart install, it fails on the PHP version (PHP Version >= 5.2.7).

My server is actually running PHP 5.2.5, and as far as I'm aware it is possible to run Joomla 2.5 from PHP v 5.2.4?

Can anybody suggest a method of getting the template and quickstart data working with my PHP version?

Many thanks in advance.

You need to install it manually.
1. open installation\sql\joomla.sql with a text editor
replace All #__ with "nhd9w_"
import it into a database.
2. rename or remove installation folder.
3. open configuration.php
you need to update this information
public $host = 'localhost';
public $user = 'xxxxx_mysql_username';
public $password = 'xxxxx_mysql_password';
public $db = 'xxxxx_database_name';

public $log_path = 'xxxxx_log_path';
public $tmp_path = 'xxxxx_tmp_path';
4. Update admin password
use phpmyadmin and update value of field password in nhd9w_users table

after that you can login with username: admin and password: abc123
then you are done
