Dimitri Easy	Friday 31 October 2003 8:59:15 am Hi all, Great product (from what I tried) - used the wizard and ran through easily (don't tempt fate) except for one thing - I wanted the install to be in the root of my public_html folder .....BUT by default this has the good old cgi-bin and bin folders. This of course is my prob ...the bin folder already there conflicts with the bin folder of EZ version 3, and so I can not install into root ....... unless someone has a suggestion (btw the bin doesn't allow me to transfer anything in there using normal ftp access - I do have superuser access remotely via SecureFTP and termemulator ....any help ? BTW - dont try and leave the user directory name blank as I did in the wizard as you get the dreaded double slash domainame.co.uk/home/index.php//content/versionview/1/1/ never mind another small limitation Thanks for your help Dimitri
Dimitri Easy	Saturday 01 November 2003 1:49:17 am Apache / Linux newbie on the loose - got Superuser access and transfered the folders and files in the EZ bin folder to my bin folder on the website - but ...will this work ? will ez be able to read, execute these properly as on normal FTP access these folders and files don't show (permissions I guess). Are they needed in 'normal' operation of the site ? Please help as I shall have to go down the install under a directory route option otherwise .... Also - on a standard install I gave the users site the name 'home' to use and admins 'managers' - but under 'users' in admin area it gave bad links and didn't show the images of the user groups ??? - on clicking a link it did this with the address: correct: website.com/index.php/managers/blah/blah/path links it gave that didn't work: website.com/home/index.php/managers/blah/blah/path has anyone else experienced this - the wizard was fine and permissions were manualy set to 777 for the 3 folders recursively Thanks chaps Dimitri

Hi all,

Great product (from what I tried) - used the wizard and ran through easily (don't tempt fate) except for one thing - I wanted the install to be in the root of my public_html folder .....BUT by default this has the good old cgi-bin and bin folders.

This of course is my prob ...the bin folder already there conflicts with the bin folder of EZ version 3, and so I can not install into root ....... unless someone has a suggestion (btw the bin doesn't allow me to transfer anything in there using normal ftp access - I do have superuser access remotely via SecureFTP and termemulator ....any help ?

BTW - dont try and leave the user directory name blank as I did in the wizard as you get the dreaded double slash

domainame.co.uk/home/index.php//content/versionview/1/1/

never mind another small limitation

Thanks for your help

Apache / Linux newbie on the loose - got Superuser access and transfered the folders and files in the EZ bin folder to my bin folder on the website - but ...will this work ? will ez be able to read, execute these properly as on normal FTP access these folders and files don't show (permissions I guess).

Are they needed in 'normal' operation of the site ?

Please help as I shall have to go down the install under a directory route option otherwise ....

Also - on a standard install I gave the users site the name 'home' to use and admins 'managers' - but under 'users' in admin area it gave bad links and didn't show the images of the user groups ??? - on clicking a link it did this with the address:

correct:
website.com/index.php/managers/blah/blah/path

links it gave that didn't work:
website.com/home/index.php/managers/blah/blah/path

has anyone else experienced this - the wizard was fine and permissions were manualy set to 777 for the 3 folders recursively

Thanks chaps
