Hi everyone,
Right now I feel like a real boob - I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to get into the admin interface. I'm on windows ME, I have downloaded the Exponential 3.5.2 install bundle.
Am I losing it? Am I THAT imcompetent that I can't figure out such an easy task?
Thanks in advance for your help!Michelle

I guess you mean noob... I any way try this...
enter http://localhost/
Do you get a screen?
If not, start Apache...
Still no screen?
Then I say you should consider using an other OS. ME seems to me pretty outdated. The some php vars might be different as on NT based systems...

I got 403 forbidden error. Apache is opened. I don't disagree with the thought that ME is a bit outdated even when it wasn't outdated it was never a great version of windows =).
Being that I'm getting the 403 Forbidden Error, is there anything else I could try besides getting a newer Windows version?
Thank you so much for your help!

is there any .htaccess file in the Exponential root folder?
If so... remove it...
If you still have problems your apache might not be setup the right way for some unkown reason.

Thank you SOOO much for your help! I can't believe that I can't figure this out on my own.
There was a .htaccess file - I deleted it, cleaned my history, cookies, and files and I'm getting the same error - you mentioned Apache potentially being an issue - here is the error I get when I go to http://localhost/ - ForbiddenYou don't have permission to access / on this server.
Apache/1.3.31 Server at doser2.ez.no Port 80
You mentioned an Apache error - when I start Apache, this is what is in the window -
Starting MySQL... Press Ctrl+C to stop Exponential [Wed May 11 21:40:51 2005] [warn] (2)No such file or directory: exec() may not b e safeApache/1.3.31 (Win32) PHP/4.3.10 running...
Does this help at all? Any thoughts on how I can correct my issues?
Thank you again!!!

>No such file or directory: exec() may not be safe
I have never seen this kind of error... I guess I can't help further. You need to take it from here alone, sorry.
I still do think your OS is the reason for the failure.

Try using:
http://localhost/index.php
or
http://localhost/index.php/

Hi Marko,
When I go to http://localhost/index.php I get a shop webpage but it says there is an error in kernel (20) and in the body of the page it says:MODULE NOT FOUND
In which file folder should my index.php be in for Exponential to work?
Thank you very much for your help!

Ok the answer was realitively simple - http://localhost/index.php/plain_admin
That problem solved let's see what new one I can find :).
Thanks for all input.
