hi im installing this nice thing that is indexhibit.
im upto this bit. i just changed those things to 777, but now im stuck.
"Next, direct your browser to your_site/ndxz-studio/install.php"
ive no idea what this means.
if anyone is kind enough to help me id be super grateful. id put a link to you on my site forever.
please help, im an idiot.
many thanks, neil
Neil,
It just means to go to that URL using your browser. For example, if your website is http://neilpreston.com, you would want to type:
http://neilpreston.com/ndxz-studio/install.php
Once you are there, it will ask you to select a language and then enter in your database details.
hey. thanks for your help.
i did that and it just said page cannot be found.
what have i done wrong?
thanks again neil
sorry.
i just noticed that the things i changed to 777 dont say 777 anymore.
it says "numeric value- 666"
have i done that wrong?
neil
it wont stay as 777, no matter how many times i change it when i go back to it it says 666.
im proper stuck.
May I ask what you are using to set the permissions? Is it an FTP application or through your server's administration panel?
A common mistake is uploading the whole folder of indexhibit instead of its contents. The page where you should go to, in Ceeb's example, would be:
http://neilpreston.com/indexhibitv070d/ndxz-studio/install.php
What you ned to do is get the files out of the indexhibit folder and into the root folder.
As for your problem setting the permissions, it's probably better you do it with an FTP application. On the other hand, some hosts don't allow you to change permissions. you need to ask your hosting service about that.
yeh im using filezilla.
i made a folder called indexhibit with all the files downloaded from here and dropped it in the wwwroot file of my site. is that right?
as for the permissions still cant figure it out. my host is mrsite, has anyone managed to do this with them?
neil
For the permissions, you should ask mrsite if you're allowed to do that.
for the install.php, you should find it in your website.com/indexhibit/ndxz-studio/install.php
if you want to find your website at your root, then you need to take them out of the folder you made.
elosia.
thank you for your help.
ive sent an email to mrsite.
as for the rest of what you said, i dont know what that means.
i thought i had to type that in my browser.
how do i know if ive download the stuff and put it in my root file correctly?
thank you, neil
i have the file called 'files' in my root folder which i presume is the on i have to change the permissions on.
there is no permissions button however.
so i press 'ctrl' and click on it and it says file attributes.
theres a number there saying 666, am i in the right place?
neil
yes, you are in the right place. If it reverts to 666 after you change it to 777, you need to contact your host.
However, you can still install indexhibit. The only problem is you will not be able to upload images.
hi i cant access my email at the moment so ive had to sign up with a new e-mail address.
ive moved server to servage.net
i got all 3 things green ticked when i go to install.
i get to the 2nd page and i dont know what i have to put in the fields. what ever combination i try it dosnt let me in.
what is my exhibition name?
' database server?
etc etc
please help me!
thank you
neil
Login to your control panel and go into Databases or whatever it's called...create a database...then it will give you the info...
thanks for your help again.
another problem.
when i log in theres nothing there.
all it says is
'Please replace this index.html file with your own site :)'
what have i done wrong?
neil
Yes, you need to delete the index.html from your site...via ftp.
ive done that still no joy.
theres a file also called index.php
should i delete that as well?
thanks again
neil
No!
i deleted the index.php and still nothing
whats the problem?
please reply.
neil
NO! Reupload it...
You are making a mess of the root directory now...
shit.
how do i reupload it?
im really shit at this, sorry
neil
Neil...you need help. Send me your ftp information (you can trust me) to contact [at] indexhibit [dot] org and I'll fix. You have it installed...you just mixed everything up.
;)
ok thanks man
let me know if you have it, thank you
