Install script not running. I'm a complete newbie at this. I'm not a sys admin or programmer, just a semi-reasonable script kiddie.
I downloaded phpmyfaq tar file from the official site, uploaded it using cpanel. Extracted files using cpanel extract. Files went to subdirectory /faq/phpmyfaq-2.7.3 so I just moved them all to /faq directory.
My php info is here: http://noro.com.au/phpinfo.php if you want to check compatibility issues. Seems OK to me but I'm no expert.
If I try to run the install script for phpmyfaq ver 2.7.3 from my browser: noro.com.au/faq/install/setup.php and I just get a 404 page error.
My faq directory has 0777 permissions. Other permissions seen in attachment.
Any clues?

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

I am also no expert in php setup. But maybe your request is lacks of information. Could you give us some information about your server (Apache setup)? Is a simple HTML file running in your FAQ folder?

Yes, read through it a few times before resorting to the first post.JochenS wrote:I am also no expert in php setup. But maybe your request is lacks of information. Could you give us some information about your server (Apache setup)? Is a simple HTML file running in your FAQ folder?
Not sure about Apache. I am on a shared hosting server and only have cPanel access. I posted the link to phpinfo so someone with the required knowledge can see what environment I'm working in.

I suspect something basic is wrong but I do not have the skills to recognise what the problem is.

Hi,
do you see the setup.php file inside the install/ folder?

Hi,
Yes. This file path/file exists in cPanel -> public_html/faq/install/setup.php
I try to run the setup file by entering http://noro.com.au/faq/install/setup.php into my browser.
FYI, entering http://noro.com.au/faq/install/index.html gets to the page that says run the setup so I figure my structure is OK.
I have Wordpress multisite installed in the root directory but didn't think this would make a difference.
Could it have anything to do with moving directories after unzipping them? The package unzipped to a sub directory in faq so I just moved them all up one level to the faq directory.

Re: Install script not running. New site, need help.
UPDATE: I did another clean installation on a different domain and it just worked!
I'll just delete phpmyFAQ on the first domain and redo it a little later. Now that the other test domain is working I'll tinker around in there.
Thanks anyway for your help. It is one of the reasons I'm staying with phpmyFAQ. I have an older version on a website that needs updating hence my looking in here again.
FYI, a wordpress plugin module is sure to be a hit. I've searched widely for a wordpress equivalent and there is none with the capabilities of phpmyfaq. You could have a lite free version and a more powerful paid version.

Hi,
cool, that it works now. The error page is from WordPress, maybe there's s problem with the rewrite rules of WordPress when using phpMyFAQ in a sebfolder...
