A few questions about Fantastico

[CNXtra]

Ok, this time i'm going to ask in a calm and proper manner. This will be a small series of evolving questions depending on how much i'm told.

Let's begin, when I go to Fantastico and get a new installation for content management, what exactly does that suppose to do?

[charlesgan]

fantastico provide easy script installation. And auto upgrade of script in future.
Basically you click on the script that you want, and follow the few prompt, the script will be setup, and your content management site is ready.

As I thought, but I have another question. When you say the site is ready, shouldn't something appear on my website or do I have to do something at the admin site to make it appear?

Once you install the desired package via Fantastico, you have to navigate to the folder you installed it in. It's not going to pop up with some link somewhere. If you look at the finished page of Fantastico, you'll also find the link to your new site.

What folder, where?

[sjlplat]

You define the folder when you install the script. Once it finishes installing the script, Fantastico will show you the URL to your installation. Read each line carefully as you walk through the installation process. It's in there. ;)

This just isn't working. It says leave it blank if I want it on the root level of my domain. As for that site it takes me to, nothing I do affects the site. I can write a whole article on world hunger and no one will see it, know why? Because nothing I write is ever published. Not on my site, not on the site it provides, nowhere.

What is the URL that Fantastico shows you?

http://animationnexus.com/admin.php

Looks like it's installed fine. You have 2 index files in your public_html directory though. You need to delete index.html, and you will see the default PHP Nuke page.

http://animationnexus.com/index.html is probably the page you're seeing.

http://animationnexus.com/index.php is the page you want to see.

Ok, I deleted index.html is there something else I should do?

[sjlplat]

I still see index.html on your site. Did you FTP to your account and delete it there?

Yeah, was that bad?

[sjlplat]

You need to delete the file from the public_html folder. I don't think you deleted the correct file.

[CNXtra]

Lol, ok I got the right one this time.

[sjlplat]

Yep, looks like http://animationnexus.com/ has PHP Nuke installed.

Now you need to login as an administrator, configure the modules, and add your content.

I finally got the hang of it but now I have to find a way to make it look like an actual site. I'm now worried about which management system to go with, someone once said Wordpress would be easy so i'll ponder on that, thank you. :)
