The config file is completely blank. I downloaded it twice, and it's still completely blank. Does anyone have a copy of the congif file I can use?

the config file is gonna be blank until you install in onto your server/computer, once installed it well look like

<?php
$config[dbtype] = "mysql";
$config[hostname] = "host";
$config[username] = "name";
$config[password] = "word";
$config[database] = "base";
?>

You have to chmod it to 666 along with settings.php before running install file setup.php. Once you do that then proceed to installation the configuartions are written to the config.php hence the chmod write permissions being 666 so it is writable. Once that is done then you delete setup.php from the admin folder and re-chmod the config.php file to 644 for security purposes.

Not sure of the entire issue you are enduring here but if you have not read the install.txt file then I have attached it below. I am sure I or one of the support team can assist you furtherif you need.

Thanks. Yeah, I just found Install.txt file. I couldn't find it before. Now I just have to get my FTP program to work right so I can chmod it...

np, all the text files are located in doc folder and they must be uploaded for the install process as well but can be deleted once install is done. If you need further assistance please lmk.
