Default Re: TGP build Group Project Thread

I was just asked a great question in icq..

I am guilty of the biggest sin of all...presumption of prior knowledge...sorry about that.

The question I was asked had to do with the structure of the site on the server itself and where the thumbs directory, template directory etc went.

Ok, when you FTP into your server, you usually end up in what I will refer to as your "web space". If you are on a shared server, this is probably your domain folder. ie: if I FTP'd to sexeducatoon.com I would end up in the area on the server that the server calls sexeducatoon.com. If you are on a dedicated server, you probably end up in your web space root directory and from this you have folders for each of the domains that you have on that server.

The folders we are creating should go in your domain directory. So if you are on shared, that is often the directory you end up in when you FTP in. If you are on dedicated, then you probably have to move up one directory to a domain directory before creating the folders.

So, the structure for this should be something like:

Domain folder.
................. cgi-bin folder
...................................scripts folder
................. Thumbnail folder
..................Template folder


Does that help any ?
