uploading php site

Post by dolcezza »

I told a friend I would upload their site for them. They were screwed over by someone and have nobody to turn to for help. I tried uploading it and I get an errror"No input file specified" on all pages. I do not know much about php yet, I am a beginner, and the entire site is done in php. Can anyone help?

I'm not experienced with CuteFTP any, really.. so hmm.. maybe a program bug? Tried other FTP programs, or a newer version of CuteFTP?

do you mean you are getting that message when you attempt to access the pages after uploading them?

yes, I am getting the error trying to access the page after upload. I tried Dreamweaver too, so I don't think it is the program. Also, all the files are on the server.

I believe 755 is a usable level.. 777 can be dangerous.

it would appear that the error has more to do with how the server is set up.. currently it's running in CGI mode, is it not? See if you can get it switched over to SAPI.

What do these files do? Something that requires an input file? It doesn't sound like a server error to me, but an error on the page you are trying to access.

That error is typical of a misconfiguration of the webserver and the CGI PHP executable, specifically the CGI executable is failing to find the PHP file for parsing.

It can also be caused by scripting problems too.
