Simply no /vlc-shares/public/installer/save anywhere

[Anonymous]

So I’m trying to install vlc-shares, as it is perfect for what I need. However, I can’t get past the initial php install screen, due to geting an error saying :
Not Found

The requested URL /vlc-shares/public/installer/save was not found on this server.

So yeah, ok, I check it out. There is no folder in “public” named “installer”. There isn’t one in the .zip either. I followed the automatic way, the manual way…nothing will put any folder there named “installer”, so I’m kind of stuck. Any help?

When you ask for support you have to give more information: OS, vlc-shares version, what kind of guide did you follow… etc etc.

It’s normal that there is no /installer/ folder

(try start installation from http://localhost/vlc-shares [without the public, that was required only in old versions])

fair enough. Also, sorry for the delay in my response.

Lubuntu 11.10 running Linux 3.0.0-12-generic on x86_64. Pretty much updated on everything.

And I followed both the automatic and manual install from http://code.google.com/p/vlc-shares/wiki/InstallationUbuntu054En, as well as from http://maketecheasier.com/install-vlc-shares-in-ubuntu-and-stream-videos-to-android/2011/02/25 and http://maketecheasier.com/install-vlc-shares-in-ubuntu-and-stream-videos-to-android/2011/02/25.
I tried both the 10.10 and 11.04 method of installing, since there was no 11.10. Anyways, trying to go to the localhost/vlc-shares doesn’t bring up an html page or anything usable. just folders and two files,

Like I said, nothing usable.

Hoping I’m posting enough info :p
Thank you@

maketecheasier’s guide is old.

Open a terminal and type

sudo ln -s /opt/vlc-shares/public/ /var/www/vlc-shares

then go to http://localhost/vlc-shares/

If you want more support, maybe chat is better for this time.

Ok, i did that and got this:

ln: creating symbolic link `/var/www/vlc-shares/public': File exists

Also, the Zend file link thing was already done while trying to install this too.

But yeah, after doing that command, I still have only the directory to look at, with the files/folders mentioned in my previous post

[zany130]

man, link is:

FROM /opt/vlc-shares/public
TO /var/www/vlc-shares <— NO PUBLIC!

Move to chat plz, we need more interaction. You just mixed up a lot a failed installations… <.<

Thank you so much! And I’m not sure if this will cause too many problems, but I’m getting an error in the System tests:

[PluginInstaller] Checking for directory permissions	 : /opt/vlc-shares/application/../library/Zend not writable

[zany130]

Just ignore it.
