affilistore help...!

Hi,

Anyone got a few minutes to help me with setting up affilistore, taking the plunge in trying to do this myself, instead of paying developers

I have downloaded xampp so that I have a server on my PC "if that's the right way to word it"

in xampp I have a folder called htdocs, in here I created a folder called test, this is where I put the affilistore files

I went to 'setup_xampp.bat' and double clicked

after this I was sure that I could type http://127.0.0.1/test/install.php into my browser and continue set-up

Probably being stupid but what do I do now?

When I go to http://127.0.0.1/test/install.php I get the following

Server error!
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there was an error in a CGI script.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

Error 500
127.0.0.1

Apache/2.2.4 (Win32) DAV/2 mod_ssl/2.2.4 OpenSSL/0.9.8e mod_autoindex_color PHP/5.2.3

Thanks in advance
Stuart

Hi Stuart

I've already sent you an e-mail but in case anybody else needs to know it's probably to do with mod_rewrite module not being installed.

To install it locate the following file:

c:\installdirectory\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf

Open the file with Notepad and find the following line:

#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so

and delete the leading '#' sign.

Re-boot your pc and mod_rewrite should now be installed.

Hope this helps

Cheers

Jason

Have you changed the CHMOD to 777 in the relevant 3 files?

Hi Funky Monkey,

No I have not, the set-up is now working so I'll be running through that this evening

Just in case I need to, where is CHMOD located and wehat are the relevant 3 files that I need to edit/amend

Hi Stuart,

CHMOD is a Linux command to change file permissions and isn't relative in your case due to you running xampp under Windows.

It will become relevant if you make your site Live using a Linux Server but most FTP software enables you to change file permissions.

Cheers

The 3 files are ..

file .. includes/connect.php
directory .. admin/uploads/
file .. sitemap.xml

In the FTP summary, right click on the file/directory and at the bottom of the options, you should see something called File Attributes. Click on that and change the chmod to 777 for these 3 files.
