Re: Okay I give up

[Ho Yin Ng <yahoogroups@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Brian ..

I am no programmer .. at all .. but I did get it installed for my
girlfriends website about a couple of weeks ago.

I followed the instructions step by step and managed to do it .. though I
did do it remotely and not on a local machine.

Keep trying don't give up! perhaps if you have a remote host you can try it
there? following the instructions? I managed to get it installed on
rapidhosts.

I had to do a bit of a hit and miss with where it stores the temp files
etc. But got there in the end.

All I can really offer is words of encouragement! If I can do it .. so can
you!

Keep at it!
