Can ftp, but not during install.

[ROUBOS]

Hi,
I can FTP normally using Filezilla, but trying to setup ftp during elxis install does not work.
the following are the only issues:
Allow URL fopen:    Μη ενεργό    Ενεργό
Short Open tag:    Μη ενεργό    Ενεργό



also it might be worth mentioning that the site is hosted at TopHost.gr, just in case someone has already been through this

I also noticed this: Apache ASP support    (The component was not installed)

What exactly is your problem with FTP? Please describe.

[ROUBOS]

Hi,
during install, when you enter your ftp details to enable ftp with elxis in the 3rd step of installation, it's not successful.

[Ivan Trebješanin]

Are you sure FTP path is correct?

[ROUBOS]

yes, checking it on FileZilla.
when I connect I need to go into the /httpdocs directory.
So the path should be /httpdocs right?

[babis1]

you have plesk ?

[Ivan Trebješanin]

If you connect and go directly to httpdocs, maybe you should try / as FTP root

[ROUBOS]

yes also tried root "/"
and yes I do have access to plesk

[babis1]

i think plesk whole path is something like that  /var/www/vhosts/domainname/httpdocs

I think ROUBOS you must write a book describing us your hosting's experiences!

[Ivan Trebješanin]

Maybe you don't need FTP. First sheck how is you PHP installed: as mod_php or (f)cgi.

Yes I've been posting many messages regarding hosting. I've been asked to create websites and I do prefer and use Elxis. Problem is that people get their hosting from all over the place without asking first.
Anyway. It's all part of learning and I do enjoy the experience. (not always  )

PHP support is set to run as Fast CGI application
