newbie setup and web page integration

[willis]

Hi,
here's what i've done so far,

ran tester script after loading to my server, all passed

downloaded trial calendar auto installer, ran successfully loaded all files on my server, created all directories, no errors.

Can connect to the easy php setup screen, ( having setup my username and password)

I can browse the absolute path to the /calendar/demo.php file (it loads and displays the formatted test calendar)
Same result if I browse to /calendar/index.php

If I try to browse to /calendar/calendar.php I get an internal server error message, I'm fairly certain I need to clear this problem to prior to web page integration. (my next question below) Is this correct?


On the index.html page for my website I've placed the php code inserts per the instructions, i've tried many path combinations following your integration notes without success. The php require statement is located in a table I added at the bottom of the page. Again, having reviewed your forums, haven't solved the path issue.

Thank you for your time!

You're not supposed to access the calendar.php file directly. It's the file you use to integrate the calendar into your own pages by following the Integration section of the instructions.

Try renaming your file to .php instead of .html. Your server probably doesn't parse html as PHP.

[willis]

Per your integration instructions, if the page I'm trying to load the calendar on is my index.html file, do you mean change the index.html file to index.php?

[Brian]

Correct. At least to see if that works. You can make a copy of it first. This is because your server isn't set up to parse html files as PHP (most aren't).

made a copy of index.html, renamed index.html to index.php, refreshed browser, error, missing index.html?

Is this a server setting I'm not familiar with? here is a screen grab of the PHP configuration settings, does this shed any light on the PHP settings currently?

Are you somehow referencing index.html in your file somewhere?

[willis]

in my index.html, I've added a table at the bottom with the php require line-
<?php require("calendar/calendar.php"); ?>

Will this call the demo calendar script to load in the table?

[Brian]

Does your server parse html as PHP?

You also need to other two lines of calendar code from the Integration/Important section of the instructions.

according to our hosting provider Hostdime, they parse html as php with suphp (suexec) handlers

currently I have the three file permissions set back to 644 from 646

File permissions should be at default (unless your host says otherwise).

Brian,
Can you look at the source code for the site link below- having trouble getting the calendar to render on the home page. I'm not the original designer of the site, I think the css is a bit clunky,
http://www.phoenixvillehomes.org

I can get to the calendar at http://www.phoenixvillehomes.org/calendar. My goal was to embed the calendar in a table, lower right on the home page as seen in the code.
I purchased the calendar and activated the license key.
Thank you for your time.

[Brian]

I don't see the calendar at all on the home page link. And I can't see the source code. You would need to attached that original file or do it in a support ticket if you don't want to publish it publicly.

[ve9gra]

You need to rename your file index.php. Your server does not parse PHP in HTML files.

You can confirm that by viewing the source of the page, and you can clearly see the <?php ?> tags.

[willis]

Bingo! Gervais! I don't think I refreshed the page after renaming the file index.php earlier in this thread. The calendar now loads on the homepage, I hope to dial in on the details next.
I thank you both for your help!
