support from Siteground.com. I'm now at the point that I believe list
member Marc Widmer got to last month, when he was trying to install. That
is, when I try to view the URL, I see only a number "1" in the upper
left hand corner of a white window.<br>
<br>
The last message from Siteground read as follows:<br>
<br>
Siteground Tech: "I just tried to install it anew by completing the
page 4 with test information and complete installation massage was displayed.
However, when we tried to access it there was actually no web site.
Unfortunately, we are not aware of the used php code for the application and
that is why, I will recommend you to contact the software developers for
further assistance."<br>

Thanks for your feedback. I'm not sure I understand your last sentence,
but when I started over again from scratch and left the settings at 755, I was
able to successfully continue to the next page of the install. LOL.
Of course on that page, I found new challenges; the first being what to enter
for "the name of the host where you would like the toolkits database to be
created on." <br>
<br>
I'm uncertain what I need to enter here, or in what format it should be (e.g.
what it should look like). Should I be entering the server name?
The home directory? The public HTML directory?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

<p style='margin-left:72.0pt'>Hi all,<br>
<br>
I'm a true novice to working with web servers and web hosting. Although I
had no trouble installing the Xerte desktop app on my laptop, when I tried my
hand at installing Xerte Online Toolkits on my web server, I ran into
trouble. My hosting service is Siteground (<a
href="http://www.siteground.com" target="_blank">www.siteground.com</a>).<br>
<br>
I was able to download toolkits, and upload it to the server into its own
folder, without a problem. I was then able to successfully use my browser
to view the "setup" page. On that page, Xerte directs you to
set permissions for roughly five folders/files to 777. I should note that
the default setting for all of these folders was 755. I was able to
successfully change the permissions to 777. However, upon trying to
"continue" the install, I received an error message that reads:
"500 - internal server error." The error page lists several
possible reasons for this error, with one of them being: "Incorrect
file/directory permissions: Above 755."<br>
<br>
By the way, that initial Xerte Toolkits setup page also directs you to adjust
several php files. Some of those files I was completely unable to find.<br>
<br>
I looked for guidance in the list archives, and through a general web Google
search, but perhaps I'm not searching in the correct manner or in the correct
location.<br>
<br>
Is there a step-by-step setup guide for Xerte Online Toolkits?<br>
<br>
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
