Re: Contao 3.06 Installation
If you have to enter FTP details then Contao tries to install with safe-mode hack. You can first try to disable safe-mode (most hosts do when asked), or make sure you set the correct permissions for the files that Contao wants to write. See the installation instructions). I usually run apache as fastCGI because then apache usually gets all rights to the files it needs.
So, e-mail/call your webhost and ask to disable safe-mode. Make sure either PHP is ran as fastCGI (ask your host), or permissions for files and folders are correct.
You can check all of this using the Contao check tool (download from contao.org download page)
If you can't change your server config then I think you can solve this in the localconfig file: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6108&p=20997#p20997

But to the point; you can activate the safe mode hack by editing the localconfig.php file and add these lines to the bottom;
Code:
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['useFTP'] = true;
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['ftpHost'] = '****';
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['ftpPath'] = '****';
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['ftpUser'] = '****';
$GLOBALS['TL_CONFIG']['ftpPass'] = '****';
Use your ftp info and provide the reltive path to the contao installation. I'm not sure about the path, it is mostly something alike /httpdocs or /sites/domain.com. Try with and without start-/ending slashes if this doesn't work.
@ga.n, if installer opts for safe mode hack, then I don't think the error log will be containing errors, right?
