Topic: Installed properly, but cannot log in to backend

[joe]

It appears that the installation process went smoothly, however when I go to http://www.mysite.com/tp/login.php, all that appears is my site without a template, just the content - I see no area to log in. The same things happens when I go to http://www.mysite.com/tp or http://www.domain.com/tp/trade.php as well - all that appears is my site without a template.

Any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Nevermind, changed everything to 755 and seemed to fix it - HOWEVER, I have a question about variables.php - I noticed that was the only file that was set to 666 instead of 777 before I changed everything to 755. Should I still keep it at 755 like everything else or should I change it back to the original 666?

The only reason I ask is because I found it peculiar that it was the only file in tp that was 666 and not 777.

Thanks in advance!

666 and 777 are almost same, TBH I don't even know difference, kildoozer probably knows. But scipt won't work if you chmod things 755 since script can't write to databases then!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding things (very new to this), but I thought it said in the readme.txt that "After installation, make sure that file install.php is deleted from your server and chmod ROOT to 755!"?

So wouldn't I need the root to be 755 instead of 777? Or do I keep everything at 755 except for variables.php, which I would keep at 777?

Also, what does "chmod" mean/stand for? I've seen the term a couple times but don't know exactly what it means yet.

chmod = file permissions

about root yes move it back to 755, and about other issues I am 500% sure it's server config or permissions.
