Hi Wade, We should take this off list since it more of a server issue than PHP.
First, if you are not running PHP with PHPsuExec enabled php runs as nobody on most servers. Personally I run my servers with PHPsuExec enabled to avoid permission issues with files that are FTP to the server by a user account then having to manipulate those same files with PHP scripts. FTP would make the files user:user but PHP would be running as nobody. By enabling PHPsuExec PHP with wun as the user account requesting the execution of the script. So if you DO NOT have PHPsuExec enabled change the folder and file permissions to match what PHP runs as on your server. Can you email me your httpd.conf file and the /var/www/public_html/ joomlaconfigueration.php file. I'll review them and tell you what you need to do. How did you run the installer? What was the path? http://basl-ok.org/joomla/ Was the address you used to run the installer for joomla? If not what was the URL used? I still think you are having a path issue.
