I got a small problem here. I want to make me a template, but working online is a bitch so I use localhost as always. However I got a small problem getting it to work with localhost. I get to install it and everything, but one need to post one single image to make it show right? So, when I do that, I just get a 100% white page, and the adding of the image didnt really happend I belive.

Any suggestions? I bet many of you here use localhosts when making a template.

haha...that confused me

it would depend on your dir for the template system no? or am i totally on the wrong page with this?

you are totally wrong :P

The blog doesnt even show up man after install because I cant "upload" a picture to "activate" the blog locally on my computer, only online on my webhost.

Use a standard template first, to make sure the image has been posted correctly.

If the image displays with the default template, then your template is wrong.

If the image doesn't display with the default template, then there is a problem with your install and we need to diagnose further.

I havent started making a template yet, as I cant get the blog up and running default, I cant "upload" a picture to display.

Can you see other websites using localhost/ ?

If not, well, reinstall it. I'm using AppServ, it works great; it installs apache, php, mysql, phpmyadmin and a few more things...

If yes, then just reinstall a clean copy of pixelpost.

you have a php error on your php files. maybe you have treated the pixelpost.php very wrong. copy the default php file and go to admin it should prompt that does not recognize REPLACE ME. then edit the pixelpost.php with a good editor and save it in ANSI mode!
make sure that you do not mess up things in php. if you don't know php read this

I think you missunderstand here...

It's a "localhost" as on my own computer, call it a testserver for dynamic content before I upload it to my webserver. I have used it for many years already and it's nothing wrong with it.

Nor is it anything wrong with the installation of the pixelpost blog as it's straight out of the .zip file default. The only thing I have changed is what I need to change, the database info. The installation was a success, it was nothing wrong there. Even when I "upload" a photo it says it was a success, still, it doesnt show.

Online on my webserver it worked like a charm.

I got fed up with it, so I have worked online creating my template now. But damn, that was a bitch, what I could have done locally first took me 5 times longer online.

I'm presuming this is a silly question, but did it actually place the photo into your image folder? I had problems a while ago that my local server wouldn't 'upload' fully. It would say "successful" but the image wasn't actually in the new folder.

I need to reinstall my local testing server, might try AppServ then.
