Thank you for your reply, I am still having a couple of problems, even tho I have managed to move a snails pace further...:) I really am not a techie person and my knowledge is very basic, so this stuff always takes me a really long time. Thank you for your time. -I renamed the file:"sample-config.php" to "config.php" and took it out of the doc directory. Do I bring it up to the root directory, (i.e. place the config right next to my "pmwiki" file? Or do I put it within the "pmwiki" file, next to the "cookbook, docs, local, pub" etc. files? -And then I went (uncommented out too)to the $ScriptUrl & $PubDirUrl sections for $ScriptUrl: tried: http://www.mydomain.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php (didn't work) tried: 'http://www.mydomain.com/pmwiki/55plus_070503/pmwiki.php' same with the $PubDirURL, still no luck. Do you know what I am doing wrong. I wish I was a bit more savvy at these things so I didn't have to ask such basic questions. I apologize. Best Karina p.s. (do I uncomment all the single "#" lines? as well? Or just some of them?) Also, I got a message I was top posting...How do I bottom post? APOLOGIES for all the questions.
