I have difficulty to install pixelpost.
First i created a sql database, then I upload my files using file manager and put them in appropriate directory. After that, what do I do?? I open install.php, and was asked to put username and password to create table? But it complains this : (The server was not able to find the document (./frontend/x/files/install.php) you requested. Please check the url and try again. )
What should I do? should I put all the directories under public_html? Where is my main homepage index.html? I am so confused now, anyone please please help me.!
Thanks.

inside public_html is the files that are published to the web

for instance if I wanted to create a blog folder to link it to the photoblog (sitename/blog) the directory would be /public_html/blog/

if that makes sense, anything not inside public_html is not viewable on the web

main homepage index, suck as sitename.com would be /public_html/index.htm

Hi

I'm having exactly this problem, but I don't understand the advice given. Can someone spell it out for me?

Many thanks.

I ended up asking the hosting company to install for me, so I really do not know how to solve this.
I hope someone here can help you...

There shouldnt be such problem at install part. You should edit /include/pixelpost.php instead of editing all other files!!!
Install process should be independent from all outside templates - it have own.

/public_html/

That is correct.
Also it depends on your server OS so it might be /var/www/html.
Just ask your host what the "document root" is on the server.

You can check it (doc root) by yourself at http://yourdomain.com/includes/phpinfo.php (if you have PP in root dir of your virtual server).
