Adavanced Poll 2.03 Installation Problem

I have downloaded and tried to install Advancecd Poll 2.03. I unzipped it in the /var/www/html/poll directory but all uncompressed files was assigned 700 by default. I have seen two different folders: db (I think works with mysql) and textfiles (maybe based on flat files). But I could not install as specified in the document in both modes. In both cases, it gives some errors like permission denied (even after I chmoded 777 to the db and textfile directories and other concerned files as specified in the readme.txt.

Please guide.

Thank you!

Thanks Auron, but the manual at the site stated in your signature is similar to what was there in the distribution itself.

What I did was I chmoded all direcories except stated in the manual to 755 and the files to 666. Yet the image does not render in the browser?

help!

well if your problem was the images not showing up then why not say that.
and my guides are nothing like the crap that come with adv. poll.

try different img paths under general settings.
if the polls not coming up that's a different matter.

Auron:

I did not meant to offend you. Your guide is a pretty good guide for all of them including the newbies who are in the WAMP platform.

I am not here to argue. I wish if someone (including the Adv. Poll designer) specify which files need which chmod. In my case all files and templates got 700.

And I am concerned about rendering the images (the very 'key' image on the login screen to other images in the control panel.)

Thanks!

as i said before the image path is set in general settings in the admin panel keep playing with it until you get it right. It might be something like /poll/images or whatever.

Here are the permissions for all the files and folders.

File / Folder name Permission

All the folders and files within those folders have to have their permissions set also. That includes all the template directories, graphic, and popup and so on, as well as the files within those folders.

repeat the template ones for each template set.

Hi Auron,

I came across this thread while looking for information on my own troubles with Advanced Poll. Your manual helped me figure out my problem and I just wanted to say thanks! Excellent work!

Thanks, glad it helped you.
