Localhost install problem (not installed!) - richardpd - 2011-02-07
Hi
Several weeks ago I installed GetSimple successfully on localhost in Ubuntu10.04 (Wubi install) but the whole OS crashed (due to Wubi install issue) & now I have reinstalled Ubuntu10.04 (USB install this time) & cannot get GetSimple to install in LAMPP localhost.
First try said 403 forbidden no permission- http://localhost/GetSimple/ -so after I fiddled with permissions I now have lost that error message & just have a blank (white screen) browser (& same at http://localhost/GetSimple/index.php). I run WordPress successfully in localhost so I presume that localhost is working alright (with all needed dependancies)- so I do not know why I cannot get GetSimple to work now?!
This is a bit strange for me! I will keep fiddling with it but I haven't succeeded yet so I would be grateful for any helpful advice. I look forward to help-thanks

OK I presume?

permissions make all php files executable...
do this
sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/GetSimple
this changes the owner of files and group
sudo chmod -R o+wx /var/www/GetSimple
and maybe the same for group
sudo chmod -R g+wx /var/www/GetSimple

Hi jimmivader
THANKS-that has fixed it for me!
I am now at the install page & now about to install & go forward!
(I fiddled with those permissions but obviously did not get it right!
I find permissions both in Ubuntu & Vista troublesome at times...).
Thanks for fine & prompt help & best wishes
