Installation Directory

I was reading instructions to install.  Do we need to place the store in a directory? or Can it be uploaded to webroot without the need of a seperate directory for example webroot/khxc

Your webroot would be /

Your quote read webroot/khxc which is in fact a directory separate from the root /

You wouldn't want all related cart files in your / dir bumping elbows with other non-related files. So, yes, a directory off the root / is probably advisable.

Re: Installation Directory

No, you don't need a subdirectory.  I'd recommend putting your private directory files somewhere else outside of your web root if you install the KHXC in the web root.  Also, to install in the web root your webserver user (usually 'nobody' or your FTP account username) needs write access for the web root directory.

Thanks Nick..  I knew your were hanging around somewhere..  Yes keep private in safe place!..  Chmod public_html directory to 777 for install only Correct ??

Re: Installation Directory

Yes, that should work:  chmoding to 777 during the install then back to 755 afterwards.  You can leave it at 755, though, if your webserver runs under your user account.  Chmod is only necessary if the server runs as nobody or some other untrusted user.

Yes, your install script worked perfectly..  Great instructions!  Now the configuring part... smile

Thanks for quick replies and excellent script!

Re: Installation Directory

Help please, i am getting this error when i try to run the installer after entering the direct paths to the private and public folders:  The following errors were encountered while attempting to process your request: 1. The webserver filesystem path you entered for the Public Directory Path does not exist. 2. The webserver filesystem path you entered for the Public Directory Path is not writable via the webserver process. 3. The webserver filesystem path you entered for the Private Directory Path does not exist. 4. The webserver filesystem path you entered for the Private Directory Path is not writable via the webserver process. I do not think I am doing this right. user name is (embroidery) and private directory is called (khxc_cart_pri) and public directory is called (khxc_cart_pub) web address is http://www.stitches4u.com on a linux system. Thanks for help. Shareen

Re: Installation Directory

Check with your host as to what your server paths should be.

Re: Installation Directory

I have godaddy.com and i have talked to them a few times today. They were not any help at all. The installer is still giving the same error.

Nick can you put me in contact with someone that can install this for me. I cannot understand what i am doing wrong. I just want to end the shopping cart nightmare. I guess i do not understand this stuff.

Re: Installation Directory

Hi,

I tried to use godaddy.com but ended up cancelling because they don't offer near the support they claim. I've had no issues with 1and1.com shared hosting and they're cheaper.

FWIW

Re: Installation Directory

Does Kryptronic have a support team to help with support on new cart instead of using this forum? I need some help and I am not getting any where with the forum. Does any one have any information on tech support or is Nick all alone on this? I hope not. Shareen sparker2@cox.net

Hi,

You need to make your directory writable.  You must be on a Unix/Linux Server so the directory that you want to make writable you need to chmod 777  What FTP program do you use??

Re: Installation Directory

That should have a chmod setting in it.

Re: Installation Directory

Would there be a problem if I were using FrontPage extensions also a Linux server? Godaddy claims that FrontPage is the problem and that I need to uninstall it. I think this is an issue with Godaddy and not FrontPage but I could be wrong. Shareen

Re: Installation Directory

FrontPage extensions and Linux don't mix.  They're right.  Remove the FrontPage extensions and don't use FrontPage's upload functions.

Re: Installation Directory

If you were doing it around midnight our server does go offline for about 3 minutes each night to run backups.

Re: Installation Directory

Nick, I am not sure what time it was but I do not think it was midnight. I am not going to worry about the shopping cart at the moment because I just transferred my domain to 1&1 from godaddy. Hopefully they have a better Linux system that will allow me to set the permissions and password protects my directories like I need too. Thanks for all your help. Shareen
