Freewebs Installation

[Ariel]

Um, I want to intall Coppermine on a freewebs server, and it will only let me upload the files one at a time, and not the whole folder by itself. So, nothing will be in subfolders, just all the files in one place. Will it still work? I'd appreciate any help.

Can you upload a zip/gz and extract on the server, or use an FTP client to do multiple uploads?

If not, it would be a mess to have all the files in one folder.

That's the 'cost' of having a 'free' server if you have such a limitation.

coppermine will definitely not work if you try to upload all files into the root folder. A free webserver with such harsh limitations certainly doesn't qualify to run coppermine, they probably don't have the minimum requirements anyway (like php, mysql and gd or ImageMagick). However, there's a thread that deals with free webhosts that have the minimum reuirements, see http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=5721.0

Cool! Thanx, I uploaded the zip folder onto tripod but, the folder is empty.
