[ProAvia]

If you need more assistance, come back to this thread (after reading the documentation) and supply your PHP version, MySQL or MariaDB version.

Do you have SSH access on your server?

[dominiclevey]

no i dont have ssh access unfortunately

[ProAvia]

Shared Hosting, VPS or ????

Who is your host?

 

[ProAvia]

Have you asked your host about getting SSH access?

[dominiclevey]

host is gaming deluxe and have contacted them but they said cant open it up for shh for security reasons aka they want me to use there dedi servers  which cost 150 p/m

[dominiclevey]

also cant install composer cause i need to install php on my machine and i have tried to but its not working.. so im kinda out of ideas on what to do

 

[ProAvia]

You need to start with WampServer or Xampp - then you can install php, apache and MySQL/MariaDB. 

What PHP versions are available on your host?

What MySQL or MariaDB versions are available?

 

[dominiclevey]

7.0 upto 7.3

[dominiclevey]

and mysql 5.6.43

[ProAvia]

I suggest you use PHP 7.2 or 7.3 for phpvms v7

Since you don't have SSH available on your host, you will need to use Composer locally and then upload all the files to your server (host).

Be aware that phpVMS 7 is still in Beta and probably shouldn't be used for a live (production) site.

If you decide to go with phpvms 5 - I would suggest version 5.5.2.72 (this is the Simpilot version updated to work with php 7.2) - use php 7.2 as it won't work in php 7.3. There is a link to it in the phpVMS Classic Support forum.

ok so i ran the composer and it did its thing an uploaded them to my server and still cant install it goes to 404 not found and the first page does not load correctly

[ProAvia]

Did you upload to a new folder inside of public_html?

You should be able to access by going to "URL/<folder phpvms is in>"

[dominiclevey]

i installed it into public html i get to the phpvms is not installed click here to install after that it throws a file not found error

 

[dominiclevey]

this is what it looks like to when i go to my site

Just out of curiosity, is there a /public folder in the phpVMS you uploaded? If so, try YOURURL/public/install and see if that shows up. If it is, then you may have to do a .htaccess tweak, but it should work without it if you just upload the zip.

[dominiclevey]

Ok so that worked turns out I dont have curl installed should that have been installed when I did composer install ? If not how can I install it with out being able to ssh

[ProAvia]

I think the curl install has to be done by your host. I would contact your host and ask them about it.

It is my understanding that phpVMS 7 doesn't have the typical install like prior versions. You should be able to go directly to the sub-folder it's installed in and run it from there - the page you showed is how it's supposed to look (plus the images) and the install is done directly from there.

Also - do NOT install in public_html - put the files in a sub-folder of public_html. This will allow you to easily have multiple installs (if desired), have forum software installed in its own folder and keep everything organized and not all mixed together.

Additionally, having each program in a separate sub-folder under public_html will easily allow you to have a different version of PHP in use for each sub-folder if required by the program installed.
