PHP Nuke
 

OMFDog this is driving me nuts i suck with php. everytime i try to do anything php based i cant figure it out. there is always files that starts with . and my ftp program lets me know my server doesnt allow files to start with .

if anyone has exp installing php nuke PLEASE help me. i will give you ftp acces to the server im putting it on and ill be forever greatful.

hmm, i've done a few installations in my heyday. If you have SHS access you could try uploading the .tar of the whole installation and unpacking it straight on the server which might bypass the block on .* files. or maybe not, it's been a while. Your server might just be fucking you over if completely if it doesn't allow those files at all.
Also make sure you set the permissions on all your folders as per instructions. Can't think of anything else, I never had too much trouble with it.

is it a windows server? windows won't allow files starting with a '.', but all linux servers should because the linux filesystem doesn't rely on extentions and stuff like that.

not sure. its yahoo server space my mom bought and doesnt use

Well, if you're talking about http://webhosting.yahoo.com then what package does your mom have? The 11.95/mo package does not support perl/php/sql/etc, the 19.95/mo package however, would support phpnuke no problem from what they offer. Looking on there, it's hard to tell whether it's windows or *nix hosting.

from memory it seems like i had her get the one that suported php... but maybe i didnt. ill have to wait till she gets home and ask. i remember a while back you were doing hosting donnie, are you still?

if anyone has space i can use that will support php nuke ill buy it via paypal soon as you let me know

My friend is running a webhosting company and the rates are great. I think he's just getting started so there's a few bugs but i can talk to him directly to get you set up. Check out the packages:
www.intecnetworks.com

I just bought a year from him and just got set up, but i haven't really used it yet so i couldn't tell you much about it, but it's full featured and cheap.

im on the phone with "moesha" from yahoo who informs me it is technically impossible to change my domain on my current server space i have to buy more space.. this doesnt sound right

Moesha Moesha Moesha!

im out looking for server space right now. my yahoo is being cancelled. my sister is buying space from a friend of hers think im gonna go to him to see how much. i would go through your friend neill but i want the space by the end of the night cuz im impatient.

i bought the next package up on yahoo... and OMG its fucking stupid... i got it all set up got the sql loading in the database i got the config file set up... still nothing.. and it wont let me upload files that start with a period again

Just so you know you can get a year's hosting at that price through this company, and it's a fully featured package: http://www.intecnetworks.com/order/

if i knew i could get nuke to work on it and not just pissing away more money id go for it
