Okay, I installed this. It looks like a good thing, but I don't know where to put my php files to test them out and I don't know how to put them anywhere. There's no public_html folder or anything.....can someone help me? I just installed it. No modifications....The directions are too hard for my to understand.

Thanks,
Gerard

I was actually too lazy to figure out how to change the location, so I just put all of my subfolders in \apache2triad\htdocs\NUKE-SUBFOLDERS. And to call them in your browser, use localhost/NUKE_SUBFOLDERS

Works great, I have every version since 7.2 installed locally, for testing and hacking around on.

Awesome. Have fun hacking on Nuke locally, with out the hassle of having to 'upload' your changes every time.

Hey, I've got another question. How do I change file permissions?

Thanks,

I would think that if this is installed locally, Windows would controll this. You just want to make sure files are not marked as read only.

Thanks, but for some reason it won't let me start apache now (I get an error). Why would that happen all of a sudden?

thanks,

What error message are you receiving?

Posted: Wed Sep 15, 2004 2:08 pm

"The requested operation has failed!"

In my install, it sets Apache as a service that runs on startup. I don't have to start Apache.

Maybe uninstall/reinstall?

I didn't do anything and it works now Smile

. I have one last question (hopefully the last). I don't have a domain name, and I had Apache running. I wanted to change permissions for a file because one of my scripts was unable to open a file. I opened SmartFTP and entered "localhost" and my username/password. Login was successful, but when I tried changing file permissions I got "500 Syntax error, command "SITE" unrecognized." Any ideas on what this means?

Thanks,
Gerard

Well after reading the readme file, I assume that SlimFTP doesn't recognize the "SITE" command. Is there a way to use a different command in SmartFTP or a way to make SlimFTP recognize it?

Thanks,
Gerard

The reason for this is that you are running on a windows box, correct? When an FTP client attempts to do a file mod like that on a windows box, the windows box does not recognize the change being attempted thus sending you back that error message. CHMOD is more a UNIX/LINUX based command and one that is not recognized by windows OS. As stated previously in the thread, make sure they are not read only or archived files through right clicking your files and checking the properties. All that done, everything else should work just fine as long as you have the proper modules in Apache installed that are needed to run the scripts you are working with.

If you're interested, open up your httpd.conf file in a reliable text editor. I use Crimson Editor. Now scroll down until you find an entry as follows:

Code:

Alias /icons/ "D:/apache2triad/icons/"





<Directory "D:/apache2triad/icons">


    Options Indexes MultiViews


    AllowOverride None


    Order allow,deny


    Allow from all


</Directory>

Highlight, right click, copy the code, and then insert the code just below itself leaving one blank line. Next, edit Alias /icons/ to whatever you want to use to call the folder you are setting up, ie /phpnuke7-3/. Next you will have to edit "D:/apache2triad/icons" to reflect the file folder. I find it easiest to open up the proper folder in My Computer and then copy and paste the address bar area. You will have to change all "\" to "/". Be sure to leave the trailing "/".

Next you will have to edit "D:/apache2triad/icons" to reflect the file folder again. This time, WITHOUT the trailing "/". Easiest way is to copy the last edit and paste it, then remove the final trailing "/". Restart Apache and call the folder from http://localhost/phpnuke7-3/ if you used phpnuke7-3 as described in the example above. If not, then use whatever you used in place of phpnuke7-3 above.

Hope this helps you both out.
