Executing PHP Documents...HELP
I am having trouble installing many PHP scripts because they require you to execute a PHP file in order for the installation to take place on your server. I don't know how to execute them at all. Clicking on them does nothing in your file manager but bring up the top right corner options
"Show File Delete File Edit File Change Permissions Rename File Copy File Move File" Show file just brings up the PHP coding, and so does edit file. Now, how do you execute PHP documents? I honestly need to in order to install many of the scripts I want to use. Thanks. |

what in this instance are you actually trying to work with? you shouldn't have to do it through the file manager at all...it should be done through the browser at the address of the file itself...atleast, that is how I've always installed any php scripts

I just realized that what you are doing is what I thought you were doing. After you upload the files for the script you are using (if you did it via ftp like I believe most people do), you can change the permissions with your ftp program or with the file manager, which is apparently what you are looking at. To install the scripts, you have to go to the location of the script (or script page that it calls for in the instructions for that particular script) via the browser's address bar. For instance: when installing Xoops, you have to upload all of the contents in the html folder that is in the Zip or Tar file you download from the site, then change the permissions on 3 specific folders and the file called mainfile.php....after that, you go to your site that has the uploaded files. It should bring up a wizard in the case of xoops.
This will all be different for what ever you are working with, but the steps are the same: upload, change permissions, use the address bar to install edit: and now I see you posted back already lol
