Farcry CMS (phase one - part II)

Posted on Jan 20, 2005

Ok, so no surprise that it was a bit of ignorance regarding the setup of Farcry that caused my issues.Unless you want to make a mess (or understand the code well enough), you must have the /farcry mapping. I may sound ignorant here, but I believe the setup is designed to run multiple sites off of one set of core code. However, that was somewhat different from my setup on a shared host as my core code is under my site root. I ended up getting my host (the company I once founded, Critical Digital Media to change m site root to the one FarCry creates after the install - I guess not everyone's shared host will do that).

By the way, if you are installing it and need to refresh the application, append updateApp=true to your URL. I know this is obvious once you start looking in the code, but I found myself scanning the code for specific issues and overlooked this little tidbit.

Relatively speaking the install was simple. If I had more time to devote to it, I probably would have located the issues quickly. And if I had just followed the instructions by the letter, I wouldn't even have encountered the problem in the first place.
