Maybe, maybe not.
You can email, me, Dirk, Blaine or Tony. We will gladly do a basic install for $50. Or you can find someone to do it for free.
This is what is recommended.
Create new mysql database.
Create a new directory called geeklog, above your \"public web\" directory. Upload all the geeklog files to this new directory. Then upload all the files in public_html to your \"public web\" directory(usually public_html).
Edit your config.php and lib-common.php files to correct path.
Most shared hosting set up the directories like this.
/home/account
/home/account/geeklog - this is the new directory that you made.
/home/account/public_html - this is your public web directory
config.php setting changes
$_CONF[\'path\'] = \'/home/account/geeklog/\'; // should end in a slash
$_CONF[\'path_html\'] = \'/home/account/public_html/\';
$_CONF[\'site_url\'] = \'http://www.yoursite.com\'; //change yoursite to your actuall domain
l
Put your mysql database info in the correct spot.
In lib-common.php
require_once( \'/home/account/geeklog/config.php\' );
In /home/account/geeklog/logs change permission on both files located there. chmod 777
In /home/account/public_html/images change permission on articles and userphotos directories chmod 777
In /home/account/public_html/backend change permission on geeklog.rdf chmod 777
Run the install script from http://www.yoursite.com/admin/install/install.php
Should work just fine. Make sure you don\'t edit the files with anything other than a text editor and Dreamweaver is not a text editor.
Hope this helps.

From config.php:
Text Formatted Code
// Some hosting services have a preconfigured admin directory. In that case, // you need to rename Geeklog's admin directory to something like "myadmin"
// and change the following URL as well. Leave as is until you experience any
// problems accessing Geeklog's admin menu.
$_CONF['site_admin_url'] = $_CONF['site_url'] . '/admin';
