    Problem with installing news

    I am having trouble installing Fusion News 361.
    1. First open your ftp program, login to your account.

    2. Now make a new folder, call it News or whatever
    you want to call it.

    3. CHMOD that folder to 777. (if you dont know how to chmod
    please visit our faq system.) "http://www.fusionphp.net/faq/"

    4. Upload ALL of the files that are located in the upload folder,
    to the folder that you created.


    5. Once all of the folders and files are uploaded, u can chmod all files and folders
    to 777 for convinience or use the appropriate chmods described in the installation.


    Now run the installer. GOTO:
    "http://www.yourdomain.com/subfolder/installer.php".

    Follow the steps on the installer, and you can have fusion news
    Running in no time :)


    *NOTE: When you run the installer
    Leave the path as ./ on the Path field, and that should work

    6. Delete the installer.php file aswell as the db_convertor.php file for
    security reasons.

    I have done all the steps 1-4. So I got stuck on 5 when I go to my url nothing shows up. Any ideas?

    Unix and Linux servers are case sensitive.
    News and news is not the same check if that's the problem.

    When you uploaded the files could you see the file "installer.php" in your ftp program?

    If you get a 404 error it means the page doesn't exists.
    This means you have not uploaded the file or you uploaded it to a wrong directory.
