Can't get install.php to load

Hi, I'm trying to install version 69 and it is not getting anywhere -- when I type in

juliakimsmith.com

I just get back a page with "Database is not installed.". I believe all of my software versions are OK: they are Red Hat Apache 2.0.46, PHP 4.3.2, and MySQL 4.1.14. Also I followed all of the install instructions in terms of renaming htaccess, permissions, etc.

Perhaps the server doesn't have mod_rewrite?

Whatever it is...it's not an Indexhibit issue. The server you are on needs to be sorted out - I doubt it will work.

For instance, visit this page:

Doesn't make sense. Sorry.

Vaska, I have been working on it here myself, the problem seems to be they do not allow php files to be invoked as a URL if they are in a subdirectory. If you try to invoke such a file it will just run the top index.php file instead, which was producing that error message. I moved the top index.php file out of the way and now I get a 404 error when I try the install.php file..

I am going to contact them to try to find the official list of restrictions they are putting on PHP scripts and will try to work around those restrictions. I may be able to do it just by bumping the files up a level so install.php sits at the top.

We aren't invoking files as urls...

It's not an Indexhibit issue...it's the server.

You can get that list, but I'm not going to recode anything now to make it work for one server, sorry.

OK I got it to work - ! It seems their restriction is that php scripts cannot be directly invoked from subdirectories if you are using the DNS name (juliakimsmith.com), but if you use the hard IP for this address it allows it. Of course their tech support is too incompetent to tell me this after four tries, but it does all seem to work fine now.
