Which version of TXP do you use?
I am assuming it’s an older one as it was set up for me by a friend back on 2005. I know there is newer version (which I have downloaded). Can someone walk me through the installation process please? As a newbie to website creation, I am struggling with the complexity of the whole thing.

I’m reading through the Detailed Installation Instructions now.

permissions
Check this page in the docs and see the explanation about the errors and notices lower down. You’ll see a notice of the folder permissions are not sufficient.
The only permissions you need to set are for the folders i.e. the /images/ directory and /file directory. You do this using your ftp program. Usually one right-clicks (on the mac Get Info) on the folder in question, then sets the permission to whatever they should be.
upgrading
Wow that must be an old version. txp’s had a diagnostics tab for as long as I can remember.
See the following page in the docs for upgrading to a new version of txp.

Re: Uploading images
Yikes. I’m just at Step 2 and already I see a problem.
The installation instructions list the seven different files and folders included with Texpattern 4.0.8 (http://textbook.textpattern.net/wiki/index.php?title=Detailed_Installation_Instructions)
I have downloaded the new version of Textpattern twice and there are seven files and folders, except the important .htaccess file is replaced with a file called HISTORY.txt
Should I go ahead and install?

Re: Uploading images
the .htaccess file is still there, but it’s a hidden file on some operating systems.
