Geeklog Forums

When ever I try to download the geeklog software off the net it doesn\'t work. CAn someone help me?

Can you be more specific than \"it doesn\'t work\"? What is the problem? Can you not download it, can you not unpack it, do you have problems configuring it, ...? bye, Dirk

it doesn\'t load the download sometimes and once it locked up my computer.

So you\'ve managed to download it eventually? And you know that you need to use an application like WinRAR to unpack it? WinZIP should, in theory, also work, but some versions seem to corrupt some of the files, so we recommend using WinRAR. bye, Dirk

ok i\'ll try winRAR i tried winzip but it won\'t let me open the file named \"install\" Thanks

So you already did unpack the Geeklog tarball? You didn\'t mention that. Please try to be more specific in your posts. \"Install\" is a text file - try opening it in Notepad. Or to spare you that: It will only point you to docs/install.html as the installation instructions. bye, Dirk

i just thought of a question....do i have to have a www.mysite.com site? or can i have a different host name? like www.1asphost.com/mysite?

Yes, you can install Geeklog in a subdirectory. In that case, you should separate the public_html directory from the rest, so that config.php etc. are not accessible via a URL. The installation instructions will tell you how to do that. bye, Dirk

Thank You i\'ll try it and if it does or doesn\'t work i\'ll post it here

Read my e-mail for the answer. i\'m not a vry good programmer

You don\'t need to be a programmer to set up Geeklog. But that is, of course, your decision. Good luck finding a CMS that doesn\'t require some fiddling with path settings ... bye, Dirk (in case that sounds grumpy - it wasn\'t meant to)
