Hello and thank you for this free chat

I am hosted on godaddy... windows. Everytime I try to Chmod 7xx it says "it may not be supported on remote site..." what it means?

what can I do with public and private datas folders?

I have a free hosting with godaddy... is that the reason? If so, I can use other domain, but I want to know for sure, I dont want to start from scratch again.

Thank you again

Do you have a ftp access or a ssh access ?

[arcoratis]

I use an old FTP I think it is called WS FTP 95 version 5.08 or WS FTP LE

thank you for your quick response I look forward to work on this chat

Could you try with this auto extractible setup ?
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/phpf ... p?download

[arcoratis]

This time the setup started but...

In the middle of the instalation says

Writing files and folders to d:hostingMYSITEphpfreechatAdding directory: / ................................................[failed]>> Failed: could not make directory. Exiting...

[phpfreechat]

so it seems your server do not allow to create new directories ...
phpfreechat can't work if you can't creat directories, sorry.

[arcoratis]

ohh no!!
How I can fix that?

[arcoratis]

I DID IT!!!
Well until it says erase the file and so...

I had the files from the other version so, I used that folder and subfolders, some I have to create manually, maybe 5
It says Your newly installed script is in http://www.mysite.com/phpfreechat
but nothing happens

Being a member of godaddy.com myself I know that you must have your operating system set to linux in order to run php scripts from your website. You can change it in the hosting account options. it takes 24 hours for them to switch it over.

starting from the very begining

type in godaddy.com into your webbrowser

click on Hosting & Servers and select "My Hosting Account"

enter your login information

after you log in it will display a list of all your registered domains.
instead of clicking on the control panel link, click on your domain name example "mysite.com"

it will load the same screen but on the right hand side scroll down until you see the Operation system option. click on change and select Linux.

save changes and that will let you run php scripts.

remember though it takes them around 24 hours to make the changes.


hope it helps
