Thanks Gary, I'll have a go over the next few days and see how it works out.
Now .. back to the great race!

Your best bet would be to try and install farcry on a machine you have using a directory structure similar to the one at your provider. He should install the core stuff outside of your webroot (even if they aren't going to run multiple farcry sites)...... In the following scenario, I have simply installed "FarCry" to the d:\de3\sites directory. For example: The "FarCry" root would actually be: d:\de3\sites. And would contain (as well as the other site directories).... d:\de3\sites\farcry_core d:\de3\sites\fourq In the d:\de3\sites\ directory would go the APPS.CFM file. Then - your application (b130 directories - need to upgrade on my laptop).... d:\de3\sites\oursite d:\de3\sites\oursite\config\ d:\de3\sites\oursite\customadmin\ d:\de3\sites\oursite\includeobj\ d:\de3\sites\oursite\packages\ d:\de3\sites\oursite\ui\ d:\de3\sites\oursite\webskin\ d:\de3\sites\oursite\www\ Assuming your domain is "mydomain.com" it would need the following entry in it: stApps['mydomain.com'] = 'oursite'; As you can see, this will ensure that when you run http://mydomain.com/farcry that it will pick up "mydomain" from the URL, look that up in the APPS.CFM and map into your directory (picking up the config for your site correctly). The real catch is making sure the mappings for your virtual site and virtual directories are correct (that will depend on the type of webserver being used). At minimum, your webserver requires a virtual directory set up to point at the farcry admin..... http://mydomain.com/farcry => d:\de3\sites\farcry_core\admin Make sense ? If you do it that way - then they can just create FarCry sites under anyones directories - or even create virtual directories off the root to point at a FarCry app instance. I dont think the standard install code will be able to do this (but it should not be difficult to modify to allow a little extra flexibility). I think any ISP who is wanting to offer FarCry as a general product will need to create their own install scripts. You should do it on a box you have complete control over first and mimic that directory structure. I think if you use the standard install, there are some directories that get hard coded (but I can't be sure of that). You should do the install and check in the source files to see.
