when I click on one of the icons on the home page of PHPGV, like welcome page, charts, lists, anniversary calendar etc, nothing happens,
why does it always redirect to the same page “edit gedcoms” : http://localhost/phpgedview/login.php?url=editgedcoms.php
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
None of the icons will work until you have added a GEDCOM to your database.
If you have an existing GEDCOM that you want to work with, you have to upload it and then import it into the database. Of course, you also have to set up the GECDOM configuration as part of the upload-and-import.
If your existing GEDCOM is too large to be uploaded (most PHP systems have a 2 Mb upload limit), you can use FTP to deliver that large GEDCOM into the "./index" directory, change its permissions to 777, and then tell PGV to use that existing GEDCOM. In this process, you do NOT fill anything other than the file name into the "Path and GEDCOM name on server" field.

thank you canajun2eh. your answer was helpful to me.
excuse me, i am an absolute beginner with PHPGV.
There's no need to be apologetic. We were all beginners at one time.
We're here to help, if we can. Sometimes even the "experts" are stumped.
