Re: [Phpgedview-talk] Problems getting started

[John L. <ge...@tq...>]

All Solved... for now...

1/ Hidden files are just not displayed unless you ask to see them... Not 
being a Unix/Linux person, I did not know to ask.

2/ I moved the index out of my www space and was able to get it to work. I 
am not sure exactly what was going on.

It would be helpful if the instructions on the media files would explain in 
better detail how a folder is to be structured if you want to add a level.

I ran into a problem that I did not know how to easily resolve without just 
blowing away the config.php file. I made an error in entering the index 
folder information and I could not figure out how to get back to 
configuration to fix it.

thanks,

john.
