apache runs as a "user" on the system. The operating system recognizes their is different users and can control what files and folders a user can access. In order for apache (and in turn php) to be able to open a file/older the permissions of the file/folder need to be set at a level to allow this.

Larry, in english please!! Just being a smart ass.. In all seriousness I am an newbee at this and do not know what i am doing. I would like to offer you or onyone to guide me trough the successful installation for a fee ofcourse.

Again, I am a newbee with not alot of experience of fundage. Someone at another website offered to install it for $150.00 which is out of my budget.

I apreciciate all the free help you and everyone are giving me. But I'd like to offer and fee for this present problem.

$150 simply to install a module?

[Charlie Broown]

Hi Maffo,

Sorry for the long, delay. Had to work. Just about... I mean I do not know how long it takes to install but gthat was the initial quote.


The problem I am having is that I can not seem to find the public_html forld both in the smartFTP client and or the server. I have just about gone tired...

I have contacted you at you Classofoed-software email...

Where exactly do I create the zones or add the code ? I assume in the layout.tpl but nothing seems to work right. I am trying out openx and have set it up but the zones have me stuck. Do you need to be developer?

Thanks,
Brent

You don't actually "create" a zone in your website. You do create zones in openX though. On the site itself (layout.tpl) your zone is where you put the generated code from openX.

Example:
Let's say you have a header with your Logo on the top left hand side and you want a banner ad to the right of that. I would create a zone called top_banner in openX. In your layout.tpl file, paste the generated code from openX for your zone next to your logo.

On my 68c site, I have a top_banner zone (468 x 60), a top_right (125 x 125) and right_other (120 x *). I also put comments in my code at the beginning and end of each ad placement for my own reference and sanity.

Thanks for the reply. It seems no matter where i try to put code it doesnt show up right. I think I will just wait till I can get the developer version and maybe I can edit pages more easily.

@ outhere, hey man did you get this to work as i'm having the same problem as you had.

@ Mike, I've tried putting the script in literal tags for java script invocation and i've tried php tags for the in server mode. However in both cases the ad doesn't show at all. Or i get a syntax error. Can you think of anything obvious i might be doing wrong.

many thanks

What invocation mode have you tried or are you wanting to use?

I have tried both the local mode and the java script with little success, i dont really mind which one i use as long as it works. What do you use / recommend
