Hey guys, I may have to just find a new web host but I thought I'd run this by you and see if anyone has an idea.
Apparently, I can't dump the entire contents of the XOOPs \html to my public html folder. My host only allows scripts run from a \cgi dir. Here's an excerpt from their FAQ:
Q: Are my scripts required to reside in a special directory?
A: Your scripts must reside in the cgi directory of your
Web directory tree.
Q:What information do I need to execute a PHP script?
A:*We currently support version 3 and 4.2.3 of PHP.
*The VDE environment requires you to use the 'sh-bang' line at the top of your script:
-PHP v3 #!/usr/bin/php or #!/usr/local/bin/php
-PHP v4 #!/usr/bin/php4 or #!/usr/local/bin/php4
If you don't use the /php4 tag in the #! line for version 4, the extension must then be php4.
*Scripts must be run out of the /cgi directory
*You must have VDE/CGI turned on. You can do this by going to the XO™ Gateway, select Control Panel, then select Manage Hosting, then Account Settings, and then check the Yes block next to Allow CGI (VDE) Access under Feature Settings (I've done this.)
*The files must be named filename.php
Q:What is the absolute path to my root Web directory?
A:The only path you need is /web
Q:What is the absolute path for my cgis?
A:The absolute path is
http://domain.ext/cgi/scriptname.ext Q:Are there any limitations for files in the /cgi directory?
A:You should only store your cgi files in the /cgi directory. While standard HTML pages will work in the /cgi directory, it is better to keep all of your non-cgi files out of the /cgi directory. Images that are stored in other than the /web folder cannot be displayed on a web page.
As you can probably tell, I'm new to a lot of this and would appreciate any help you can give. Thanks!
