hello,
i do not understand if i should install the indexhibit folder on my own computer and build my homepage there and then install it on my webhost? or i should download the indexhibit folder to my computer and install it directly to my webhost and there i will build my page? i know this is very basic but please help...
my best regards
Hello,
this is how it works:
1) you download the folder to your computer
2) you upload the contents of the folder to your server (your server space at your webhost)
3) you go through the "how to install" steps
4) you put content into your site
5) voilà your food is served :)
muchas gracias eloisa.
one more thing. if i already have a homepage; can that be on the server meanwhile i a making the new one with indexhibit?
Yes, it can. You do this by keeping your indexhibit files inside of a folder on the server until you are ready to move them to where your homepage file currently is. While you are working with those files, you would access them by including that folder name in your url.
example:
http://za.com/indexhibit
thank you very much!
still problems, I uploaded the indexhibit folder,and when i www.mysite.com/ndxz-studio/install.php i get the indexhibit page where i should choose language but i can not make that selection. the option is just "make selection" and happens nothing as i click there. what have i done wrong?
I'm sorry to report that there's a 99% chance that your webhost package is on a windows server, and indexhibit will not work on it. :(
Check with your host to see if that's the case, and see if they can transfer you to a linux/Apache server.
If that's not possible, you will need to change webhost.
Other than that, congratuations on getting that far! :)
i will contact my webhost and find out... thank you again.
today my webhost informed me that i have windowsserver but they have linux also so they have change for me now.
i tried again just now and came further this time. but when i write my sql info i can not proceed. i do not know what is wrong now because i think i have the info right about databasehost etc.
maybe beacuse i still have my old homepage working...should i erase all the files from my old page?
Your old page doesn't interfere with indexhibit, you can leave it there for as long as you wish.
If your problem is with te database, i advise you to check the information you have (name of database, password..) with your webhost.
it was the webhost that had forgotten to change some things after the serverchange so now i am all set! everything works fine! thank you for all help.
