Hi there. My first installation.
I have got all the way through install, at one point I was advised to rename xoops_lib & xoops_data and remove them from the root. So I created a new folder, moved the two dirs into it and renamed them. This stopped the installation in its tracks so I had to put them back. Now I am in the admin panel, the warnings are there to move the dirs? I have no Idea where to? Having redone my original shuffle, I get an error page. So they now sit in their original positions as per the upload.
Help would be great.
Cheers

OK. I first of all downloaded the wrong directory. I have got the correct download now but my problems are back. I have 4 websites. One primary domain and 3 secondary domains where the domains are dedicated to three aliased folders in the primary domains directory. I have probably got the terminology wrong here.
So I have the a domain attached to the xoops/ directory.
First of all where do I put the checksum.php and checksum.md5 files. in the xoops directory or above it in the primary domain html directory. I keep being told the "root" directory, but from two apparently reliable sources on the net, I am told that both levels as mentioned here could be called as such.

Help would be great.

BTW, this is the 4th such program I have tried this week through lack of understanding and failure to get replies on the support forums.
