Hi James. I too recently purchased the PHP Myspace Gold edition. I am having no luck getting it to work. The install text is not very clear to me. I uploaded all files into root directory via Smart FTP. I thought the problem might be that I use Yahoo hosting which makes my root directory a backslash only. One of the requirements is to not have a trailing backslash in the direct path. Of course my direct path is a backslash. I tried moving all folders and files to a subdirectory, but I still get a directory list or a blank page upon index.php. I opened the index.php file and it is empty. I checked the file in my local browser and it has code in it so I copied the code into the index.php file but still nothing. I have not gotten the admin page which is supposed to load upon typing in my url. I am frustrated and lost. Have you had any luck yet? Any suggestions? Thanks.

I had the same problem and thanks to your post, I followed what you did and "muscled" past the error for direct path. I have Yahoo hosting and the root directory is a /. XOOPS has a problem with the trailing backslash and since my root directory is only a backslash, it shows and error with direct physical path.

I had installed Mambo previously and it installed fine in the / directory so I knew it was correct.

When I continued with the XOOPS installer past this error, it worked fine!

Thanks!
