Do you have a domain name? Where did you put the files? Did you put them in the main folder or in a subfolder?

I uploaded it with an FTP program. So i don't know where. I think its just a regular folder. I did exactly what they did on the tutorial.  :-\\

You need to have a domain name registered and pointing to a web host server for you to be able to access it via http://yourdomain.com

No, i have a domain name


www.danieljradcliffe.com

I just don't know how to find it in my HTML editor. I uploaded it on the FTP thing, but i usually use the HTML editor.

If you don't know which folder you put the files into, we would be as clueless as you on where the gallery is. I tried a couple of common names, gallery and cpg132 and didn't find anything. Please go back to your ftp and browse around until you find the folder. Using internet explorer for FTP should be like using regular explorer to find folders on your own computer.

http://www.danieljradcliffe.com/photogallery didn't work...

I'm not sure what you are asking in the last sentence.
Title: Re: A little bit of help, please!
Post by: danieljradcliffe on January 05, 2005, 12:59:07 AM
Sorry. I'm saying, should i just delete all the stuff i uploaded with WS_FTP and go into www.ftp.danieljradcliffe.com and do it all from there?

You can use whatever method you are comfortable with as long as it gets files from you computer onto the server. This shouldn't be any different from when you upload any other file/folder to your webhost space.

You are welcome.

But i named it photogallery.... hmmm i can't figure out why i can't get it to show up
Title: Re: A little bit of help, please!
Post by: danieljradcliffe on January 05, 2005, 01:08:48 AM
But how do you do all of those editing things like changing it to 777 and extracting it  :-\\ I thought you can only do that in the WS_FTP program

Did you put it into the same folder that contains the rest of your site's files?

You would need an FTP app to chmod.

It would seem correct except, where's the rest of your files? From looking at your site, there are many more files than the index one. The other ones starting with 'main' are just symlinks, which are like shortcuts in windows.

See? Yeah! I don't know where they are!  :-[ I"m so sorry for taking up your time, i just can't figure this out lol




umm, I don't know. I felt llike it! ;)

Post by: Tranz on January 05, 2005, 01:32:08 AM
I'm thinking that you didn't put the photogallery folder into the correct folder for webdocs. Open up mainwebsite_html... it should open up the folder containing your web files. Move the folder there.
Title: Re: A little bit of help, please!
Post by: danieljradcliffe on January 05, 2005, 01:32:39 AM
Ok, i'll try it.  :)



EDIT: OK i'm almost sure thats the problem! I have to reload it there, i'll write back when its done.

I think this is from your webhost: http://domainsdns.com/#2
QuoteFTP Basics
To FTP, you will need to know the host location, as well as your username and password. All your web site contents are stored in /var/www/html.

usually a folder named "public_html" or "htdocs" represents the root folder of your web space.

That's a silly answer - do you want us to help, or are you playing games >:(? Re-post the screenshot with the area in question unhidden!

well, there you go. Now install coppermine, using the mySQL access data you got from your webhost. Refer to the documentation for details.

Sorry to burst your bubble but the installation wasn't completed. It's still asking for the database information.
