Having a problem with "Write Permissions" that need to be set to write for my index folder located at /phpgedview/index. Also the config.php and authenticate_index.php. I have changed the Index folder on my system, but when I "publish" via Front Page, (I have already uninstalled and re-installer the server ext) I cannot connect to http://www.1familytree.com/phpgedview/ which is where I need to go to "set-up" this Gedview PhP program...What am I doing wrong?

Hi,
What I see on this link is an access denied from IIS. It seems that the anonymous user has no right at all to read the files in the directory. Have you checked the IIS configuration and the related access rights to the directory?

OK, This is a follow up, got the acess issue resolved, and have now uploaded phpGedView. Went to start config process and after the first page got these error msgs;
"Configure PHPGedView

You should first review the readme.txt file before continuing to configure PhpGedView."
I could not find any info in Readme to solve this issue.
Any idea what I am doing wrong??

You are not doing anything wrong. It looks like your host has disabled all filesystem functions. This means that PHPGedView cannot read in the configuration file to edit it.
This also means that you won't be able to open and import your gedcom file.
Sorry to have to say this, but without those functions you won't be able to run PhpGedView.

John,
I received a reply this morning from my ISP, not good news...
Dear Jay,
I apologize for any inconvenience. Due to security precautions the functions you are attempting to call have been disabled. For a complete list of disabled functions please follow this link: http://ftphelp.secureserver.net/win-phpinfo.html.

Any ideas on a possible "Work-around" ?
(Other than switching ISP's)
Thanks for any help or ideas

There is a work-around, but not a very good one. You might be able to get around this limitation, by setting up PhpGedView on your home computer, adding all of your gedcoms. Once everything is working locally, then you could upload all of the files to your ISP server and everything should work without the need to create any new files.
Even if you are able to do this, you will be severly limited. Anytime you update the site, you will have to update it locally and then transfer the data to the ISP again.

John,
Yes I think for right now this is what I will need to do. So, I have d/l and installed pgpgedviewlauncher. It all seems fine, but how do I get my stuff loaded? When I open it, I get the "presidents" gedcom file. I can't find any Login or text instruction on what to do from there.

Sorry for the delayed response. I was out of town last week.
I don't remember off hand the administrative name and password for the default setup with the PHPLauncher. But I think they are an older version anyway.
I would recommend deleting all of the files from the "web" directory and copying the new files from the current 3.1 version. When you setup the configuration, use index files instead of MySQL.
