Ive installed the updated version but have this problem where im not sure what permissions to set on the mainfile.php.
When i uncheck all the read attributes it wont let me download tghe file to my machine for editing.
So what permissions need to be set. Im using WS-FTP to transfer.
R>R>R>?
W>W>W>?
E>E>E>?
Also what happens with regard to the installation folder etc?

We must only read mainfile.php ( chmod 444 or r--r--r-- )

hmm interesting cos the only way the ftp program would let me download was to go 777. then re upload it and go back to read only.
This seems to work.
My biggest problem is the fact that when i origionally installed XOOPS i didn't rename the XOOPS folder or put its contents in my main root folder.
As a result it doesn't open when you just type the web address http://www.shangri-la-la.co.uk.
to get in to the site you must type http://www.shangri-la-la.co.uk/xoops-2.0.7/html/
This as you can see is a problem and i dont know how to fix it as the site is full of content we cant afford to loose.
Until now ive been using an html file in the root folder with a copied viewed source of the main page. This then links to the rest of the site.
I would like to be able to go directly to my XOOPS when i hit my web address.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

When i set it 444 it will not let me download the file. Only when i set it rrr & wwwcan i download the file.
I then changed the password details, uploaded it again and set permissions back to rrr or 444.
But still nothing.
I want the XOOPS to be installed on http://www.shangri-la-la.co.uk not shangri-la-la.co.uk/xoops-2.0.7/html/ as thats a crap address.
How can i move the XOOPS system over to my domain without loosing all my work.
I am having great difficulty with this and really need your help.Quote:

Well as a result of the system not being installed properly in the first place it would seem i have 2 mainfile.phps.
One is in the root folder and the other is in xoops-2.0.7/html/mainfile.php.
Now what do i do cos the sites stopped working and i cant fix it?

(keeping backups is always a good idea)


1. move the files and directories to your root directory.

2. download and edit mainfile.php

edit these two lines:

define('XOOPS_ROOT_PATH', '/www/207');
define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://localhost/207');


For the first one you will just have to remove "/xoops-2.0.7/html" from the path it has now. And for the second one just enter your wanted URL. So like

define('XOOPS_URL', 'http://www.shangri-la-la.co.uk');
