James Hunter	Sunday 31 October 2004 2:46:56 pm In trying to set up Exponential I am supposed to access the wizard by trying to open the index.php file. When I try to access the index.php file from a command line, I get a ?permission denied? message. This is true even if I have logged into the root directory. If I try to open it with my browser (Konquerer) I get ?The file or folder file:/opt/Exponential/sites/default/Exponential-3.4.2/index.php%0A does not exist.? (it adds that %0A for some reason). What must I do to open this file?
Marco Zinn	Monday 01 November 2004 1:06:58 pm You should point a webbrowser to the index.php file of your installation, so "Konqueror" is a good way, i guess. Did you set up a virtual host for Exponential? Can you tell us something about your setup? Is this a local (test-)installation, so you webserver and your webbrowser are on the same system? If you set up a virtual host, did you use rewrite rules in the Virtual Host config? Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com

I downloaded this file -- Exponential-3.4.2-Linux-rh8.i386.tar.gz -- from this site. I tried a couple of the installers, and don't rembember which one I ended with, but I think it was the red hat one. Maybe I should just start all over, but I am not sure whether that would work with all the things that are already there. Jedson

I have a partitioned hard drive and am using the linux side with Mandrake.
