Um, Morgan, sweetie ? You do know that keyboards can be switched don't you ?

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 ?

Yes, my scrumptious, I do know that.

However, putting this as delicately as possible, I do not have the physical capablities of this. (The ship sailed on the "bend, reach, pull" thing for me quite some time ago.) The one thing that *will* make my husband raise his voice is my hurting myself doing something I know damned well I shouldn't.

I wish my cat would stop giving me the "what are you doing in Daddy's chair?" looks. That bugs.

Please Note:

In step 2, I indicate that after you create your settings, test them and then download the script...

I think I am wrong here. You need to download the script, put it on the server, and then test it.

If there are problems, go back in, edit the settings, then download the script, put it on the server and repeat

Well, I know that at least 2 of us managed to get through the settings part ok

How are the rest of you doing ?
