Hi all

I have a little problem that requires an answer really.

I am trying to install a script locally using XAMPP using the following url http://localhost/ads/Scripts/install.php , and the location of this files are C:\Downloads\xampp\htdocs\ads\Scripts however the script ask a few questions that I cannot figure out.

It states there are only 2 lines I need to worry about. Find both lines that look like this in the config:

PHP Code:

$siteurl = "http://www.site.com";      
define('FULL_PATH', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']); //no ending slash. 


Depending on which script you have, the first line could vary somewhat. Some scripts use

PHP Code:

$siteurl = "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']; 
Or
define('SITE_URL', "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']); 


Here is my config file that I need help editing correctly?

PHP Code:

@header("Cache-control: private");
     /* Set your language...
                 Code: eng for english, nor for norwegian or other... */
                 $language = "eng";
     $version = "1.23"; // version of classified script
     /* allows you to check over links subitted before they go live
       1 = live on submit
       2 = pending
     */
     $SetPending = '2';
                 $siteurl = "http://www.site.com/classifieds"; // no ending slash
                  /* for IIS users you will need to add this manually.
                    eg: c:/Inet/www/path/script_name
                 or whatever your www folder is
                 */
     $full_path_to_public_program = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/classifieds";
     $upload_dir = "$full_path_to_public_program/pictures"; // no ending slash 


It also give the following example on a “live” server, however mine is on a local server.
So lets say you want to upload it to a folder under root (public_html). We then edit those variables to be this:

PHP Code:

$siteurl = "http://www.site.com/somefoldername"; 
define('FULL_PATH', $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/somefoldername"); //no ending slash. 


If you have the other site url variable it is like this:

PHP Code:

$siteurl = "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']."/somefoldername"; 


It is very important to NOT change the _SERVER variable. Please keep it exactly like what is shown.

Can someone advise me on what I should put in the above?

Thanks

First move all you files to a directory under the htdocs folder. xampp/htdocs/folder/files.

Then change your config file to:
$siteurl = http://localhost/folder; Do leave the " " I broke this on purpose.


$full_path_to_public_program = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/folder";

Once you start Apache and mysql if neeeded you should be able to visit the site using the address localhost/folder and then you can invoke
localhost/folder/install.php
