Re: Installing a cms script
Hello Availor,
Are you installing this CMS on your own machine ? (i.e either a box you are hosting at home or your own dedicated server).
If you are, then the "Apache Virtual Server" rules apply to you but if you are installing it on a hosted server (online hosting) You wont have to worry about all that.
Basically from the error message you posted, it looks to me that the file "/home/videoxon/public_html/include/campsite_init.php" is missing.
Can you check for it and get back to us?
Thanks.
Rabbie.
Re: Installing a cms script
I am running the script on a hosted server. the file is not missing, so I have no idea what's going wrong here :confused:

Re: Installing a cms script
Hi Availor,
I just did some testing and tried to install it on a hosted server. It seems that the campsite CMS requires that it be installed in the /public_html/ folder so before I continue, are you trying to install it in a sub folder of your main public_html directory ? (because that wont work).
Re: Installing a cms script
No I was trying to install in a sub folder. I wonder why it doesn't work if it's not in the main directory. I will try to follow your instractions thanks for the help :)
Re: Installing a cms script
Perhaps you have a link to where you installed the script to, because all my html_public folders are full - I've tried deleting the current website but I have too many websites installed there so all I have is sub folder.
Re: Installing a cms script
Not sure what you are meaning by "all my html_public folders are full"?
Do you mean you have run out of space on your host?
You shouldn't try to install anything at a level lower than /public_html/
Your site root is /public_html/ - anything else should be in subfolders branching out from /public_html/
(note that your FTP view may also show a /www/ folder. This is just an alias to the /public_html/ root folder)
According to what rabbie has posted, the cms script expects to be installed in the root of your hosted web space.
If your hosted account using cpanel, perhaps you can try to create a subdomain and see if that satisfies Campsite's path prerequisites?
Re: Installing a cms script
public_html is the root directory, so let's say I want to install a specific script - I just upload my contents there so it has index.php file and all other folders so when I type www.mysite.com I get to the website.
Usually when I want to install multiple scripts I just create a sub folder (Usually it works), like www.mysite.com/another_script.
I have installed many scripts so I have something that looks like that; www.mysite.com/script1 www.mysite.com/script2 etc... If I want to install something in the public_html directory my index.php file will be overwritten and I will have to reinstall the current script (because many folders have the same name like img and admin), thus I have to delete my old website in order to install a new one. Right now I don't have a free domain yet (because each domain has it's own public_html). I wonder why a script needs to be installed in the root directory...

Probably due to many internal link-backs and SQL commands being referenced to the site root. A CMS such as this is likely designed to be used by people who will register a unique domain name and buy hosting specifically.
Have you tried Campsite support/FAQ?
