ToonMariner Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 if this is on a live serer that is hosting your site you will already have apache (or god-forbid IIS).to find out upload a filewith JUST this in it into your root directory.<?phpphpinfo();?>call it info.phpand then simply goto your site and ad info.php to the url. This will give you all the info about your installation, which server app you have (hopefully apache) whether mysql is available etc etc.delete the file when you have done - you don't need to let everyone see your servers details!!!

ToonMariner Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 all this is done for you by your hosts.They will have sent you ftp account details, probably a control panel account too.Go and look in there and it shoudl give you some idea of where you are. Otherwise you will need some live help (at least that will be the quickest way!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie_In_PHP_Hell Posted August 30, 2006 Author Share Posted August 30, 2006 Would you suggest for me to download SmartFTP to keep myself organised? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
