You need to add or replace a file named .htaccess in your root file with the next content (you can copy and paste it)

 

 

 

 

# $Id: .htaccess,v 1.3 2003/06/12 10:53:20 hpdl Exp $

#

# This is used with Apache WebServers

#

# For this to work, you must include the parameter 'Options' to

# the AllowOverride configuration

#

# Example:

#

# <Directory "/usr/local/apache/htdocs">

# AllowOverride Options

# </Directory>

#

# 'All' with also work. (This configuration is in the

# apache/conf/httpd.conf file)

 

# The following makes adjustments to the SSL protocol for Internet

# Explorer browsers

 

<IfModule mod_setenvif.c>

<IfDefine SSL>

SetEnvIf User-Agent ".*MSIE.*" \

nokeepalive ssl-unclean-shutdown \

downgrade-1.0 force-response-1.0

</IfDefine>

</IfModule>

 

# Fix certain PHP values

# (commented out by default to prevent errors occuring on certain

# servers)

 

<IfModule mod_php4.c>

php_value session.use_trans_sid 0

php_flag register_globals on

</IfModule>

if you have a problem with the contribution perhaps you should check/post in the support thread. Other than that and in my opinion the instructions are straight-forward.

 

And you better specify the exact problem you're having when you post there. Otherwise...you know, the conversation stays in a general context.

ok my bad the poroblem im having is that i cant get the contribution to work the instructions for it are very hard to understand if you dont no much about php. what im asking is that if anyone has got the contribution working can they send me or post the whole code from the files that need changing because ive tried it like 7 times and its just not working

The whole code should be included with the contribution as far I remember. But that not the point. You need to state exactly where you stuck installing it. If you don't understand the documentation you need again to state what point you do not understand.

You're way too general. These forums and their archives are only valuable if you take time to tell the rest of us what your fix was. Can you provide a link to the contribution you had success with or at least give it's name? Just saying you fixed it won't help others next year who may be searching the archives.
