Where are the subdirectories?

[Ladbrook]

Hi,

I just bought photopost and downloaded the file:
photopost531.zip

The installation instructions says "The zip file contains several .php and .sql files as well as three main directories called "images", "uploads", "help", "languages", "stylesheets" and "data"."

All I got was 447 files with no subdirectories.

I've set up my subdirectories on my server, but don't know what should be uploaded to where?

Now what?

Did you use a compression tool to extract the .zip file or did you open it using a viewer of some sort?

Hi,

From memory I probably used regular WinZip. Am I supposed to use something more specific like 7z? Please advise?

Thanks.

A standard compression utility, such as WinZip, should work. I think by default the setting is set to extract any folders within the compressed file, keeing the file structure intact. Hmm...

If you use winzip you should make many subdirectories and 400 some files sounds correct.

I dont see anything in winzip that says dont create subdirectories nor have I heard of anyone having an issue either.

Basically you just use winzip and extract the file and you should have many subdirectories like templates stylesheets languages forums data uploads documentation etc.

I'm sure that I used the standard option for keeping the subdirectories ... otherwise you end up with hundreds of files mixed in with everything else.

Thinking back to the old adage that "When in doubt reboot". I thought I would simply try re-extracting everything again, and blow me down the subdirectories appeared. I have no idea what I did differently, but am much happier now!! Thanks for your help everyone.

OK, I've just managed to extract all files without the sub-directories. I used PKZip and unchecked the settings of "restore folders". There should be a filtering in Winzip similar to that.

Edited: Ahh, cool you got it to work.
