upload fine but problem accessing site

[jjtaras]

i've managed to upload images and can view them throught the admin page, but i'm unable to view my pixelpost site. i assume this is the URL:

http://www.jtaras.com/pixelpost

but when i go to that address i get this error:

Parse error: parse error in /home/cust1/user1080576/html/pixelpost/index.php on line 462

can someone help me out?

I can reach your site and it loaded
but it is not ok

I see that the tags, which should be interpreted by the script to load the data, are destroyed,

index.php?showimage=%3CIMAGE_PREVIOUS_ID%3E"

what you see here: %3CIMAGE_PREVIOUS_ID%3E"> should be <IMAGE_PREVIOUS> and this should have been converted to the link to the previous image

this situation happens very often, when the upload of the file goes wrong.

Your FTP-program did not upload the scripts in ASCII-mode, but in BINARY-Mode, which is often done, when the filetype php is not recognized
and by this some characters get destroyed /changed / converted

which FTP-program did you use?

Try to upload the scripts again in ASCII-mode and everything will work fine
you must not re-install it, just upload the files in the right way!

good luck :lol:

i've been using fetch and dreamweaver. is there a better solution?

Hi!

I don't know what is better, you just must look for one thing when uploading .php-files to your webspace:

1) if your ftp-client is configured in that way, that the transfer method is auto-detect / automatically, then mostly these clients have a list of file-types which should be transferred in ASCII-mode, ASCII-types are for example .html, .txt, .css etc.

if so, add .php to this list

2) if your ftp-client has no autodetect, there must be an option to toggle between ASCII-mode and BINARY-mode

if you toggle to ASCII-mode before you upload the files

Good luck again

which files do i need to reload?

and thanks for all your help.

first try to re-upload the index.php from the main-directory, the one which will produce the photoblog

but why not upload all files again? That will be no problem because you will not run install.php a second time, just upload the files like you did before, take care not to overwrite your pixelpost.php in the admin-directory and take care to upload in ASCII-mode!


good luck!
