path?

[Kelly Jonas]

how do you find your path on FTP
like for cutenews?

thanks

[Eagle]

put a wrong one, then you'll get an error.
In that error you'll find your path.

That's my stupid way, really.

[Kelly Jonas]

[Eagle]

it can't include the whole folder, you need to find the path to show_news.php or something

/home/xoxbarbi/public_html/mcfly/cutenews/show_news.php?

[Kelly Jonas]

ohh and instead of making a new thread, i've just got another related question
how do you find the default username and password for cutenews? because someone set it up for me :/

[amy]

What do you mean by default? The username that person made for you or what..? I'm confused lol :S

[Eagle]

There's no default. However, you can't retrieve your lost password but you can change it.

To change your password, open users.db.php that is located in you CN main folder. Then find the line in users.db.php where there is your username after your username there should be a | and after it, a long string of letters and numbers, this is your password all, crypted. Now you should delete this password string and make a new password in md5 format, you can do this using this tool (http://cutephp.com/md5.php), then replace with your new password and save.

[Kelly Jonas]

wow okay i'm slightly confused. i'll pm you about this if thats ok?

[Eagle]

ahh thanks so much :D your pm helped and now i can do it yayyy :P
