I am installing this into my site but i have a few problems everything seems to be ok in the code and the sql import was ok but when i lost the /kb/admin i just get a white page on firefox and on internet explorer i get 500 internet server error. when i lost the crazyleds.co.uk/kb.php it loads my site up fine and has text saying knowledge base but nothing else.

the config file has been edited to the correct details
below is installation instructions

===============================
X-Cart Knowledge Base v4.x
http://www.xcartmods.co.uk
===============================

1) Upload all files and folders your store root directory.

----------------------------------------------------------------

2) In X-Cart Admin, run the SQL patch...

/kb/install_upgrade/install.sql

New database tables will be created that begin 's_'

----------------------------------------------------------------

3) Edit these settings to reflect your X-Cart database in /kb/admin/config.inc.php

If you are unsure of them, they are in /config.php

$conf['db_host']    = "localhost";
$conf['db_base']    = "kb";
$conf['db_user']    = "root";
$conf['db_pass']    = "";

---

If your store resides in a subdirectory, then you also need to set the following paths...

eg.

// admin path
$conf['home_dir']         = '/store/kb/admin/';     // path to admin dir without DOCUMENT_ROOT

// client path
$conf['client_home_dir']  = '/store/kb/';           // path to kb dir without DOCUMENT_ROOT
$conf['fck_upload_dir']      = '/store/kb_upload/';    // where FCK editor place uploaded images (relative to DOCUMENT_ROOT)

---

Also change language if necessary...

$conf['lang']         = 'en';              // see admin/lang/ - for available languages

----------------------------------------------------------------

4) CHMOD 777 (make writable) the following directories...

/kb/admin/cache
/kb_file
/kb_upload

----------------------------------------------------------------

5) In skin1/common_templates

Before...

{else}
{include file="main/error_page_not_found.tpl"}

Insert...

{* Knowledge Base Start *}
{elseif $main eq "kb"}
{include file="kb/kb.tpl"}
{* Knowledge Base End *}

----------------------------------------------------------------

6) In skin1/customer/home.tpl

Before...

</head>

Insert...

{if $main eq "kb"}
<script type="text/javascript" src="{$SkinDir}/kb/kb.js"></script>
{/if}

----------------------------------------------------------------

7) In skin1/admin/menu_admin.tpl

Before...

{/capture}

Insert...

<a href="{$http_location}/kb/admin" class="VertMenuItems" target="_blank">{$lng.lbl_knowledge_base}</a><br />

----------------------------------------------------------------

8) In skin1/help.tpl

Before...

{/capture}

Insert...

<a href="{$http_location}/kb.php" class="VertMenuItems">{$lng.lbl_knowledge_base}</a><br />

----------------------------------------------------------------

9) Run www.yourstore.com/cleanup.php

Done.

Customer Front End - www.yourstore.com/kb.php

Admin Front End - www.yourstore.com/kb/admin
Username: admin
Password: demo

Don't forget to change the password!

----------------------------------------------------------------




TIPS
====

1) Before uploading any files, ensure the file path is set correctly. Otherwise files may be stored in a directory one level beneath your root.

Go into Settings > Files tab

----------------------------------------------------------------

2) Remove the blue 'Knowledge Base' header by going into Settings > Look & Feel (format/template/style):

Set Template: to 'Without Header'

----------------------------------------------------------------

3) To allow people to use the contact form, ensure you have entered the 'From' email address...

Go into Settings > Email tab

If i adjust the kb.tpl with sizes to make the ifram bigger it makes it ok for firefox then knackers up for i.e and goggle chrome if i get it ok for chrome and i.e firefox screws up. the hight is auto yet it does not changed and only gives a small box.
