The Joomla 1.5 setup requires an FTP user, FTP password, and FTP root path. What should I use for these settings?
You should use the FTP login and password that is associated with your domain or subdomain, as applicable. The ftp root path settings depend on whether you are installing in your main httpdocs folder, a subfolder, or on a subdomain. For the main httpdocs folder, the root path would be /httpdocs For a subfolder, the root path would be /httpdocs/[subfoldername] For a subdomain, the root path depends on how you set things up. If you set up the subdomain as a primary domain (by using the “Add New Domain” icon in the control panel), your ftp path would be /httpdocs or, if you installed joomla in a directory within the subdomain, /httpdocs/[subfoldername]. If you set up the subdomain within the primary domain (by using the “Subdomains” icon in the control panel) AND if, during setup, you chose to “Use the FTP user account of the main domain”, you root path would be /subdomains/[subdomainhost]/httpdocs (for example, if installing on subdomain foo.domain.com, the path would be /subdomains/foo/
