WampServer

Hi yfastud Obviously I'm still a little confused about some things. So, Joomla is in my computer, so I do not have to 'connect' ftp to anything, just deal with the files in the local directory. As for chmodding,, I was having so much trouble trying to install extensions into Joomla's backend- was being told that the directories weren't 'writeeable' and I'd have to change their permissions (co

Hi agian. I did have an ftp server set up to work with my WAMP and Joomla CMS I could connect to it but uninstalled it and went with WS_FTP, as it seemed to have the feature I need- which is to be able to change file permissions (right click on folder>properties>unclick 'read only') At some point tho (not sure why ) I decided to obtain a static ip address, 'SassWebs.hopto.org' and the ip

Well don't shoot me, I did start a new post, as the previous one is so big (sorry) but my brain unthawed enuff for a sec (has been near -50 C here at times lately) , to realize that when I right-click on a file/folder on the left pane of WS_ftp (even if it hasn't gotten 'uploaded to the server') and click 'properties', only to see that it is listed as 'read only'....well I finally realize that,

Well, seems I am back again to be a pest. With lots of help from yfastud, I did have an ftp server that I could connect to with my Jooma CMS. But I uninstalled it and installed WS_FTP. The reason: I could not see how to use GuildFTP to change file/folder permissions so that I could write to them (required in Joomla CMS sometimes for installing extensions for example). First, I must mention tha

Ahhh....(starts to sink in...) Thanks *update- Well, I don't want to jinx things but..I think I can say that everything is working properly. (Although, sometimes it gives me grief, like I have to try a few times, it will say the server isn't running on my server, or I get error messages trying the password, but I think it's because my computer needs 'clieaning' and is so slow). I can log into

Hey, don't you ever take a holiday? lol So you mean, When I set up the ftp server (ftpFuild in this case)) I don't have 'read only' selected for my admin user privelege, or the folder/file itself in Joomla backend (through ftp) is set to more than read only? It's just hard to get my head around it, how the file can say '644' or what ever (not 777) and I can still do things to it, like downloa
Forum: WampServer English

Thanks for your patience Actually, I can finally 'log into ftp' in the Joomla backend (it finally likes my password, phew) but I get error messages when trying to chmod files but I think I know what I did wrong. I am going to fix that soon (just a little 'fluish' right now). Part of my confusion was, other people giving advice I think were assuming that wamp already had a built in ftp server

Yes, that is what you meant, but sometimes it takes me a while.... good thing I am so stubborn
Forum: WampServer English

Thanks yfastud. After re-reading some stuff (and Joomla guide too) I sort of figured that out. It wasn't too obvious tho, how to do that on the last two servers (filezilla etc.) so I installed a server that came up when I gogled 'ftp servers for wamp'. This server even has a great guide to show how to do that (GuildFTP) so maybe I will get it now. I will set up the user/password, then use

@ yfastud: "I don't use Filezila, but suggest that you should install it in Program Files or wamp/apps"..Will do:} (Though I don't really care which server I use, what do you recommend?) Router's model: BEFW11S4 V4 Too late, I just obtained a static ip from NoIp- was painless lol Umm, what else.. Oh ya, even though I got rid of the port applications (ftp and http settings in m
Forum: WampServer English

I'm pretty sure I entered 'port 21', at some point (ftp) but there was a place that asked for the 'server port' too- I assume the wamp server, so I entered the port 80...I think I will uninstall everything (yes everything) and record everything I do this time. Before I do though, just checking- if you don't mind that I have the order right so I don't screw this up: 1)I will install WAMP 2)I
Forum: WampServer English

K, I'll try to be calm but...I'm kind of freaking out a little (just a little). I downloaded latest version of Fiezilla Server (not client ) and installed it into C:/wamp (my web server directory), and added what I figured was right (port 80, port 21, a username, localhost ip 127..something) and was happy because i finally read a message saying I am 'logged on' Yay. But then when I clicked

Thanks for clarifying that.. So, kind of like having a space 'roughed in' in a new house, for a dishwasher in the future, should you get one.....Guess I have to go get that dishwasher (filezilla?) now
Forum: WampServer English

???? Please forgive my confusion (I must be seemingly dim by now ) but I am going in circles. I thought wamp CAME with an ftp.. I notice the 'ftp' as one of the loaded extensions on the localhost mainpage. I have been trying to find on there, where you would set the username/password for the ftp, that I am always prompted to enter in Joomla (both in installation, and in tryng to chmod file pe
Forum: WampServer English

Thanks for the database tip. As for the ports, I am stumped. I went into my windows firewall, and made sure that http (port 80, wamp server) and ftp (21) were added as excepted programs (not blocked), so I don't know why 'What's MyIp says they're still blocked...Maybe I don't have them set up properly in my router. I could show a screenshot if anyone is interested.
Forum: WampServer English

Wheee so much fun! ...sorry, just lost my head...oh, yeah, 'whatismyip' is pretty helpful for that, and it showed me that my port 21 was blocked for some reason ((I guess it should say 'open'? ) In fact, so is 3306(mySql) and 80- the wamp server in this case. Guess I gotta go find out why now. more fun By the way, thanks for the tips yfastud . I believe that happened with another computer I ha

Hey, I have a short (dumb?) quiestion: Now would I 'create user accounts for ftp for WAMP. I have read all kinds of great wamp help guides ( a latest cool link here: sorry I just like shareing - and see no mention of this anywhere. thanks in advance.
Forum: WampServer English

"'I'm sorry, it should be port 21" Ha ha, I'm glad you let me know that, I was beginning to think I knew even less than I did!
Forum: WampServer English

Thanks yfastud. I had entered my ip too at one point, buy maybe, as I hadn't enabled port 81, it didn't work. I will try your suggestion (are we having fun yet? no lol)
Forum: WampServer English

Hey that would be great! Don't think I'd hold you up too much, I've been reading up all day, and even tried a few things. (maybe getting closer?) changes: scrapped the filezilla, installed SmartFTP into C:\WAMP\www (where my Joomla folder is, and more likely is the server's root) I also tried typing my router's address (192.168.1.1) into the address instead of localhost or my own ip, and it

Just want to thank you, yfastud, for your password set guide: I actually figured that out a while back, and being a noob (still am ) I still made a lot of mistakes/took ages with the guide.(I mean THEIR guide, back when I was learning, NOT yours lol) Could have used your tutorial then, keep up the good work!

Just another lost newbit here, and I'd really appreciate some help. I'm learning Joomla 1.5 (CMS) so to that end I have WampServer2 to host the Joomla site (works great) but am running into probs while trying to set up the ftp for it. Joomla has an instalation parameter where you set the password/username for ftp...The problem is I don't really understand ftp, like how/where I install in in my

I can hardly wait for that TwistedChaos, would really appreciate it and would really simplify things for this 'newbie. (see 'ftp help') thanks
