Hey I’m having trouble finding the specific information needed for windows IIS installation.
I’m still trouble shooting the install and would like to make it work.
I can’t seem to track down anything, or i’ve just missed it.
Putting windows iis install or whatever in the forum search just brings back be more specific... how to use the search better for one thing too then.
But just post me the links I’ll dig.
Specifically now I can’t log in to the manager, I managed to get the latest install, I’m going to have to deal with what exactly needs write permissions, that’s such a gray area, making it easy to give up all together, but I’m stuck with windows hosting, in my work environment for one. I’m not a developer by trade just a designer.
thanks for any roadMaps all ya’all.
I think maybe I could google the forum’s better than the site search seems to be working, maybe I’ll try that.
Wow... no responses at all so far...
I can’t log in to my manager section, it’s really just the second glitch in my install, no doubt there will be more on my host, I’ll try to push through it but without some suggestions I’m sure I’ll have no luck.
Can anybody clarify any of these comments regarding write permissions and cache issues:
That config file is the latest version (0.9.2.1). It is a permanent file that MODx uses every time it connects to the database (meaning constantly), but it never needs to be written to again as long as the database connection info stays the same. I’ve uploaded these manually many times instead of using the installer to write them and it’s never caused a hiccop.
The images are all stored in the images folder. You don’t really need to allow write permissions on that directory either if you don’t mind uploading your images via FTP. It’s actually more secure if you do it that way, but you do lose the ability to upload images from within the admin scripts (and gallery scripts won’t be able to make thumbnails ad whatnot either).
I’m not 100% sure about the cache files, though. Someone who knows should weigh in on that one. I know that you can turn off caching and therefore not use the document cache file, but I’m not sure whether you can do that with the publishing cache file and I’m also not sure whether these files need to be executable or not (they do end in .php, after all).
Paragraph one I’m good with I did manually upload the config.inc.php... anybody needs help with that PM me.
thanks again.
