Installation Woes

confused
I just installed Geeklog, but not without some problems.

First off, when I go to the site using my url I get this:

http://geeklog.learnwriting.nilex-pressions.com/

So I had to click public_html/ in order to even install.


Once I did install, I get this:

http://geeklog.learnwriting.nilex-pressions.com/public_html/

Then when I click a link I get this:

http://geeklog.learnwriting.nilex-pressions.com/index.php?display=new

I know it is probably something really simple I did wrong or did not do, but I cannot figure out what. Any help anyone can provide, will be accepted gratefully.

My thanks in advance.

The site looks odd since the paths are wrong.

Geeklog consists of two parts: Only the stuff that's in public_html should be accessible from the web. The rest should go outside of the webroot. "public_html" is a popular name for the webroot directory - others are "www", or "wwwdata", etc.

There's a graphical overview on the wiki - maybe that'll help.

If your hosting service won't let you put things outside of the webroot, see Installing Geeklog entirely within the web root

bye, Dirk
