How to use

[MaximumRide]

Hello, how exactly do I use this site? :3

[Hall of Famer]

Umm what do you mean? And what is the problem you are having? Cant find a host, cant upload the script through ftp, or cant complete the install wizard?

[MaximumRide]

Well I mean how do you use it? What does it do?

[Hall of Famer]

Well... This is a free script that you need to install on your webserver, just like a software like Microsoft Office you need to install on your personal computer. Its rather easy to install though, first download the script from our downloads page and then upload to your webserver if you use a webhost(you can skip this step if you host your own site, but its quite unlikely for most newbies). To install the script, run the installer and follow the instructions.

This script does a lot of things for you. It has a built-in breeding and itemshop feature, and of course a lot more than these. Read the features list if you wanna learn more before getting started. Best luck!

Well I do have my own site :3
http://midnighthowl.net/
it's just hard for me to do what iv'e already done on there, what I really want to know is how to transfer everything to my site

[Hall of Famer]

Well have you ever used ftp? You will need this to upload the script you download from Mysidia Adoptables official site to your own webserver. Its really easy though, lemme know if you need more help.

[MaximumRide]

Alright, this doesn't take up to much space to download right?
and yes I have used ftp, that's how I got the other stuff on there :3

[Hall of Famer]

I see, then you should know how to upload/install this script already. Look at this thread for instruction on how to install this script, should not take more than 3 minutes:

And enjoy, lemme know if anything goes wrong.

[MaximumRide]

Alrighty thanks :3

[MaximumRide]

Now one more question, do I need to install all of the links?

[MaximumRide]

Also can I change the name to: account.html? besides account.php? Cause I kind of have to

[Hall of Famer]

umm you do not need to install anything more than the core script, just run the installer and it will do the trick for you so long as you follow the instruction by entering the appropriate fields.

I dont suppose this is possible, and I dont understand why you 'kind of have to'. The script is coded with PHP anyway.

[MaximumRide]

Well I mean my step grandpa said that the program I use says it has to be called .html

[Hall of Famer]

Well php is a more advanced version of html, or at least you can think about it in this way for now. Do not worry, you will be fine with php just as you are with html.

[MaximumRide]

ALright thanks :3 sorry all these questions but, which file is the core file?

[Hall of Famer]

Well there is no such thing called core file at least for this time being, everything is about equal importance. If you are talking about the index file, it is index.php.

[MaximumRide]

Alright i'm still confused XD

[SilverDragonTears]

You can't use the mys script with myadpots if that's what you're trying to do. Which is what I think you want to do after reading through the posts.

[MaximumRide]

I don't, I want to use it for this

[Hall of Famer]

Well why do you wanna know what is the core file? Even I cannot tell which one is tbh, lol.

[MaximumRide]

Well I thought that cause you said it here

[Hall of Famer]

Oh this... The core script is not one single file here, it represents all files necessary to get your site to work. XD I apologize for the confusion.

[MaximumRide]

Ohhh ok :3 do you have a hosting service here? So I can try it out? Before I put it on my site

[Hall of Famer]

Well we are not a hosting service, it is a script we make for users to download to their own computers and servers. I do have a dedicated server comparable to BMR's, but its not used for hosting.

[MaximumRide]

It ok hows 000webhost? or x10hosting?

[MaximumRide]

So it's kind of working here's is whats coming up

[Tequila]

So it's kind of working here's is whats coming up
http://midnighthowl.net/adopt.html

It's because you changed the .php to a .html. ;3 HTML isn't as powerful as PHP.

Since the script is coded in PHP all files have to remain as PHP files. ;3 Hope that helps a bit. ;3

[MaximumRide]

Alright thanks let me try that :3

[MaximumRide]

Now it comes like this
http://midnighthowl.net/adopt.php

[Hall of Famer]

It seems to me that you only uploaded the adopt.php file to your site. *sigh* You need to upload every script file within the folder Mysidia Adoptables v1.3.1 to your server, not just the adopt.php file.

[MaximumRide]

Oh ok :3 thanks

[MaximumRide]

It's still not working I don't get it

[SilverDragonTears]

What steps are you using to install the script?

[MaximumRide]

what do you mean steps?

[SilverDragonTears]

._. How are you installing the script? Are you uploading the WHole folder to your site using an ftp client? And then are you installing it by going to yoursiteurl/install? Have you made databases for it? It doesn't just magically work for you. You have to actually install it first.

[MaximumRide]

Alright I will have to do that all tomorrow, it's late where I am

[AlexC]

Once you wake up, can you go through this install tutorial and tell us what you're not doing or are doing?

http://www.mysidiaadoptables.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3532

Might be a good idea to follow it as well. :3

[Hall of Famer]

To me it seems that she uploaded script files in root directories, but not files in admincp, classes, functions, inc and install. You need to upload everything inside the Mysidia Adoptables v1.3.1 folder to your site, not just the script files you can see from first glimpse. There are many lib files, config files, img files and more from other subdirectories, you've gotta upload them all.

[MaximumRide]

Well the only thing is, i'm not using X10hosting or Gemstone Hosting

[solskenn]

Download winarar
Download Filezilla
Make sure you have a Database on your site, make one if you haven't already.
Use winrar to unzip the folder within.
Open the folder and Filezilla.
Once you have both open, take all of the files inside the folder and drag them into the area "public_html" on filezilla.

This should work for just about all hosts.

If you'd like, make another site on the same host to use as a test site, for when uploading so you can see what it looks like. It doesn't have to have a pretty name, since it won't be used for anything other than testing.

[SilverDragonTears]

What are you using then? As long as you're using some host it doesn't matter who it is.

[MaximumRide]

This

[SilverDragonTears]

That doesn't look like a hosting service to me... but I could be really wrong.

[MaximumRide]

Idk XD I will just use x10 for now

[MaximumRide]

Could anyone help me? I am starting to use x10 hosting and i'm still not getting it, would someone mind setting it up for me? and I could go in and change it up. I just need help getting it started

[Hall of Famer]

Well if you are still struggling, send me a PM about your cpanel login info and I will set up the site for you.

[MaximumRide]

Thanks sooo much :smile:
I sent it all to you
