Executing install.php

[vando]

I'm new to this, so bear with me. I'm using Windows XP. Earthlink is my ISP, and it supports MySQL and PHP.

 

1. I copied over the "catalog" directory to my parent directory /xxxxxx. So, "catalog" now resides on

my web server as /xxxxxx/catalog. Note: I called my isp providers asking for any of these:

 

/home/hpdl/public_html/

/srv/www/htdocs/

/usr/local/htdocs/

 

...and was told /xxxxxx IS the Web Server Document Path.

 

2. Manually changed permission settings for configure.php to 777.

3. Then, on execution of this installation instruction: http://yourserver/catalog/install/,

replacing "yourserver" with my domain name, I receive this partial code...without the words "code" obviously:

 

{code}<?php

/*

*/

 

require('includes/application.php');

 

$page_contents = 'index.php';

 

require('templates/main_page.php');

?>{code}

 

 

Can't get off 1st base! Anyone out there have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

 

Thanks,

Vando

Run the index file after creating the database.

disregard the /htdocs as they will not interpreted php.copy all the files to /home/public_html the call install only with domain name"http://mydomain/install or if you wan to have in catalog dir then make catalog dir and ftp all files to that dir.Then you called install "http://mydomain/catalog/install.Look to me like you copy a wrong files into wrong palce.
