Hi Gordon,

Welcome to the forums.
What you want is perfectly possible. After moving the files all you have to do is change the $baseurl in /conf/_basic_config.php. If you take a look now you will see how easy that is.

Good luck

I will give it a try. I haven't run the Install progam on my server yet because I didnt want to be "trapped"...

I will install it now and then work on what you said.

Thank you. More questions to follow I'm sure!

i dont mean to be sarcastic..

So I just tried to run the Instal script - but when I click on it, I get:
OPEN or SAVE new file...

and it thinks that my PrintMaster program is the program that will open the index.php file. No option to OPEN WITH...or anything.

Seen that before?

Nothing sarcastic about that answer.

Thanks for the info :oops:

You do need a server. If you want to install on your local machine, you want a local server like WAMP or XAMPP, see http://forums.b2evolution.net/viewtopic.php?t=13698.

Good luck

I have a server www.hostdepartment.com is where I am hosted...got it to work so far but I am sure this is going to be a long process...

Here is what I got:

"We cannot automatically update your config file"

Change the permission of the file /conf/_basic_config.php to 777. You can do that in the commandline of your FTP program (most likely) or through your cPanel. This is the command (from the folder /conf/):

CHMOD 777 _basic_config.php

Good luck

double, triple check your config files

Yeah, looking at them now...I configured them yesteday online and then wrote down everything I saved along the way. But for some reason I must have something wrong..

This is what I got this time

(Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock' (2))

uhhm.. is this installation about your shared hosting, or a local installation on your pc ?

That's an error from Apache (the server). I don't know an answer to that one.

I am trying to install this to my website (not the local machine).

I did it again and got this error again:
We cannot automatically update your config file [/hsphere/local/home/[username]/[domain.name]/b2evo/conf/_basic_config.php]!

u really should do what afwas said first.. did u chmodded your conf dir or the conf file to 777 ? it seems u havent..

by the way, what i am going to say is not just for you but everybody; by writing to the forum, every issue is archived and may be it's a better idea mostly to post to forum in case someone else has same problem he could search; but you are also welcome to use the irc channel for minor issues - see afwas' signature-

You are correct - I haven't chmodded my conf dir...can't figure out where to go.

I was just uploading directly through Internet Explorer while viewing as an FTP...

...and the cPanel for PHPmyadmin that is on my HostDepartment webserver doesn't look too friendly.

Ok. I did the edit by hand like it suggested in the description of the error lines.

Now I am up to:
How do you want to install b2evolution?

Working...

Install complete.

Just logged in.

Continuing.

Sorry for the play by play - it helps me to review where I have been and how I left there.

That's fine.
Just play ahead ;)
