Server was preconfigured to have PCMCIA disabled.
1.) Found startup scripts were disabled.
They had renamed the startup scripts in these runlevels (2-5) to kill scripts.
# mv /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/K96pcmcia /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S09pcmcia
(repeat this for rc3.d, rc4.d, rc5.d directories).
2.) Still gettting "no pcmcia driver in /proc/devices" in /var/log/messages.
Also get when you do 'cardctl -v -o' (-o means run once in foreground, -v means verbose)
Check file /etc/sysconfig/pcmcia. It looked like:
PCMCIA=no
PCIC=
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
It should look like:
[kws@localhost sysconfig]$ more pcmcia
PCMCIA=yes
PCIC=yenta_socket
PCIC_OPTS=
CORE_OPTS=
This is a Dell laptop, all laptops seem to have the same config.

Elsewhere, it's been suggested that the specified directories must be set to “world-writeable” (777). This works, but it is a very bad idea , since it means anyone can change your files! Not cool. Fixing Security with User and Group Settings To perform these changes, you need shell (command line) access to your server. If you don't have it, you can beg your host to make these changes for you, or switch to a Joomla-friendly host. I'm going to assume that you are using a LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) server because if you're not, then ... well, these instructions should work in principle, but the specifics for your server may be quite different. Here's the issue: you, the FTP user, need full access to your files. So does Joomla,...
