Question

Ok, here goes.

I am using Bluehost. (www.bluehost.com)

I uploaded the tarball, and through ssh extracted the tarball into a root directory called wiki.

Tried to execute the configure, couldn't.

Added .cgi extension to everything in the bin directory. It ran.

Changed the paths and fixed the errors. Now the configure script shows no errors. No authentication turned on.

Front page looks terrible and none of the links work.

You can see the pictures here, you may need to copy this url into your browser manually...

Not sure if this is a path error (although all the paths look correct) or what.

Truthfully, I am ready to give up I am so frustrated. Can someone help me please!

Answer

I would check the permissions of the various directories. You might need to set world readable for templates and other directories. I think I saw something like this when the template files couldn't be read by the user that runs the web server.

You are not the first one. It looks like some css files cannot be read by the web server. You can pinpoint the problem by trying to load each css file in the browser. Try to chmod all /pub files to 777.

You were right, it was a permissions issue. Interesting. So do I need ALL the files at 755?

-- ChrisCraft - 29 Nov 2006

All pub files. You might need to redo this when installing a plugin.

-- ArthurClemens - 29 Nov 2006

Actually, you do not need the executable flag for files in the pub dir. Safer to set them to 644.
