struggling with paths

Post by sappolo »

Hi,

I am on a shared server. The physical path of my website is:
D:\inetpub\webs\mysitename\

In my ftp space I have three folders which properties cannot be changed, including:
public, which is the only one with the write permissions.

I have, then, installed phpwmcs in the public folder as all the sub-folders get the same write permissions.

when I set the paths I have tried all the possibilities but I always get errors for all the phpwcms subfolders.

What paths shall I specify in the fileds, then? Please help me.

I am on windows 2003 server with php 4.3.4 and mysql.

Thanks to all of you who can help me and happy Easter.

what is the dir for the iis root dir?
assuming this is 'D:\inetpub\webs/'...
$phpwcms["site"] = "http://www...../";
$phpwcms["root"] = "mysitename";
if it is 'D:\inetpub\' then prefix the $phpwcms["root"] with 'webs'
Using IIS ?
you may need to add this line to your conf.inc.php just after the $phpwcms["root"] line too..

Code: Select all

define ("PHPWCMS_ROOT","D:\inetpub\webs\".$phpwcms["root"]) ;
(assuming that 'msitename' is installed directly in the 'webs' directory and that all the phpwcms files and folders are not an additional sub dir of 'mysitename')

how did that do?
