I'm probably missing something obvious, but... I
downloaded the zip file to my Windows desktop and
unzipped into a folder. Then I used SmartFTP to move
the files to my hosted (Globat) web site into a folder
called "scheduling" (this happens to be in a folder
called httpdocs, I don't believe I have permissions for
the root folder). I go to the web site and click on
the link to execute. It says installing and verifies
that PHP is OK (PHP 4.3.6) then thinks for 10 seconds
or so and says "Problem with file: /data". I looked
and I have no such file.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The problem is most likely that the folder in which the scheduler is being installed (the one containing the "install" folder) needs to be writible by the system. This happens on some unix systems depending on how the server is set up.
Easiest way to make this happen is to set "world writeable" permissions on this parent folder (I can't tell from your message if that is "httpdocs" or a sub-folder of that - I would make it a subfolder if it were me:
httpdocs/scheduling/
for example) Temporarily set that folder so that anybody can write to it (you should be able to do this through smartFTP) and then run the installer. That will create the necessary files and folders. Finally, reset the scheduling folder to have you-only write permissions (make sure you don't disable world readable/executable permissions on that folder or the web server won't be able to get into it to "serve" it to web browsers!)
