Hi all,
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 (www.siteground.com).
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."
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.
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.
Is there a step-by-step setup guide for Xerte Online Toolkits?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
