instalation problem ?? here is how to solve

#1 Postby PowerChaos » Mar 07, 2012 1:15 pm

Dear users

as i read some comment over this beofre , most of the users can not get this script to work

i tested it out and indeed is it not that easy to solve the problems it has

seems a few settings are wrong

for the users who are intrested in the fix , here is a quick fix

PLEASE NOTE : THIS FIX ONLY APPLY AFTER YOU COMPLETED THE INSTALL
FIRST FOLLOW FILE PERMISIONS THEN DO THE INSTALL THEN FOLLOW THE FIX

install can be found at http://boosterking.com/cgi-bin/install.cgi
change boostering.com with your own site ofcourse
fix wrote: open XfileConfig.pm
search for the following things

Code: Select all

 # Your site URL, witout trailing /
 site_url => 'http://boosterking.com',

 # Your site cgi-bin URL, witout trailing /
 site_cgi => 'http://boosterking.com/cgi-bin',

 # Path to your site htdocs folder
 site_path => '/home2/xxxx/public_html/',

 # Directory for temporary using files
 temp_dir => '/home2/xxxx/public_html/cgi-bin/temp',

 # Directory for uploaded files
 target_dir => '/home2/xxxx/public_html/cgi-bin/uploads',
Please make sure that this is the same , as you will notice it will look totaly differend for you then it looks heere for me

for the users who can not see the difference , here is a short description of the difference
wrong files wrote:

Code: Select all

boosterking.com/cgi as main page  -> boosterking.com

/home2/xxx/public_htmltemp for temp folder  -> /home2/xxx/public_html/cgi-bin/temp


/home2/xxx/public_htmlupload for upload folder  -> /home2/xxx/public_html/cgi-bin/upload

Then a other sidenote
permisions wrote: change the following files to 755

Code: Select all

index.cgi
install.cgi
upload.cgi
upload_status.cgi
Change the followin files to 777

Code: Select all

upload (upload folder)
XfileConfig.pm (until after install ofcourse) 
Temp ( Temp folder)
Congrats , permisions are right now
Congrats , you sucesfully installed the free version of XfileSharing

please note , the domain used in this example is a pro version
Change the domain to your domain ofcourse
also change XXX to your location ( this is a cpanel example)

The script was installed for my client on a other domain and to solve this problem for every1 so here is the tutorial how to solve it

well
based on just going to this page i see what is wrong

ask your provider to enable CGI support

in your case is it not enabled

also ask your provider to enable HTACCES support
as mod_rewrite is also disabled

http://gamealot.net76.net/cgi-bin/index.cgi

vs

http://boosterking.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi

you see what i mean

also check
http://gamealot.net76.net/cgi-bin/

vs

http://boosterking.com/cgi-bin/

vs

http://dehost.org/cgi-bin/ (this is the code you should get atleast )

if you can acces that dir , then cgi is disabled
else you get a error code ( code 403 permition denied or a 500 error code aka server error )

or just find a other freehost or a paid host ( http://dehost.org for example )
