Help for a rookie

[fusc]

Hello all,

I am having some trouble getting OSCMax to work just right. Here are my problems

1) I can't get the buttons to all show up correctly. I have read the forums and tried reinstalling the folders in binary instead of ASCII but it still doesn't work. From what I can tell all the rest of the images that are in are working fine, any help would be appreciated.

2) I can't get the header image to show up when I change it. I have even went as far as using my image renamed to the OSCMax_top image, still only showing up as a image place holder.

3) I have read everything I can find on the easy populate mod and I can not get it to work at all.

4) I am trying to set up paypal with the freessl, I have almost everything except I can't find (on paypal, these forums or OSC forums) where I am supposed to install the certificates to... Does it go in the admin folder, the catalog main folder, or do I create a seperate folder for it.

Like I said in the title I am a rookie, so if you respond to this could you write it out in plain english, I know about as much as HTML and PHP as I do about nuclear physics (not much at all).

Any help would be greatly appreciated
and I will try to follow it as much as possible.

Thanks,

Anthony

Hope you can figure it out

I think this is where your problem is:

'/home/yaafitne/public_html/'

I think it should be something like '/home/content/?/?/?/??????/html/

The ? marks are refrenced to your msql database.

You are also missing your database connection. Are you hosting local or are you on a shared webhost?

It is reading:
define('DB_SERVER', 'localhost');
and should be:
mysql?????.?hostingservername?.net

Look in your hosting MSQL for your hosting server name. This is why your pages are not referencing the database.

Have your tried to run the install function again and let the install program install this part. you should not have changed this if you did.

The image setting in admin configuration in images is set to low that the images are reduced to small in height. Check these settings.

Be sure and make a backup of your website files or try a fresh install in a subfolder. and compare the files.

I use WinMerge to compare files.
