Help needed with starting semi-automatic setup process

Arthur Peter · Post by **Arthur Peter** » Fri 19. Mar 2004, 01:29

I have posted a post earlier with the same question, but I had to delete everything after I had set it up. However, again I have the same problem with the semi-automatic setup process.
I need to go to the following link to get everything set up:

http://www.mydomain.com/path_2_phpwcms/setup/index.php

Now I just want to know what am I doing wrong.
I am using the following link:

http://www.ttnfc.com/phpwcms/setup/index.php

Everytime I get a http 404 error page.
Now I think my problem again is the "path_2_phpwcms"

If I am correct I need to fill in here the path to the "phpwcms.php" file? Is that correct? And if this is correct, do I need to use the public_html folder or "www" folder to get to that file? And if I have found the path what do I need to use in this link?

Thanks for your help,
Arthur Peter

Open FTP, go to include/inc_conf/conf.inc.php and setup the paths like
this:

Code: Select all

// site values
$phpwcms["site"]              = "http://www.ttnfc.com/";
$phpwcms["admin_email"]       = "jan@null212.de";

// paths
$phpwcms["root"]              = "phpwcms";
...

If you setup the paths like this, place the phpwcms folder in the directory where your domain is pointed 2.
Then run the sql code from the setup/phpwcms_init.sql to create db.

that's it

Thanks for your reply, but unfortunately I am not so well acquainted with all setting up a web page, so I need some more detailed explaination.

Let me see. You tell me to open FTP and go to include/inc_conf/conf.inc.php
How do I do that. When I go to FTP manager I can add an FTP account. Do I need to open an account first?
When I have opened an account to what folder and file do I have to go?

Sorry but I don't understand anything about those codes you gave me. What do I need to fill in exactly? What do I need to do with them exactly?

Thanks for your response and hope to hear from you again.
Take care,
Arthur Peter

That's going to be complicated. You have to set up an FTP Account to your root dir (your index.html shown by calling the domain is there, phpwcms folder location...), how 2, please ask your provider or look in one of 2000 tutorials around the web.
If you have a FTP connection to your phpwcms folder reply again...

Yes I have an FTP connection to my phpwcms folder.

And now you go include/inc_conf/conf.inc.php and setup the paths like
this: line 33

Code: Select all

// site values 
$phpwcms["site"]              = "http://www.ttnfc.com/"; 
$phpwcms["admin_email"]       = "jan@null212.de"; 

// paths 
$phpwcms["root"]              = "phpwcms"; //your phpwcms folder name
...

to modify, open it in your Editor...

Do you have phpmyadmin ???
