Hi again
Even though my personal problem is solved I have left it open, this is because I want the people that have done their best to help me to read this final statement, if this is an error I apologize, I will close it within a day or two.
See also my own answer above.
Sorry about the space in the link for my web page, it was a typo. Also I though http:// is the default in browsers, but that may be due to my lack of knowledge on the subject.
And sorry about the resolved icon, I am 99% icon blind. It took me 5 minuttes to find it, now I know to look for it. Anyway I wanted to have all relevant comments to the issue so it was also a deliberate choice that I did not look for it.
I do not understand that Joe and others say I should NOT install in a subfolder?
Because the install doc clearly state that it is possible, I quote:
"
Run the install script on your server
Type the following URL into the address bar of your web browser:
http://your_server/coppermine_dir/install.php (your_server = your website, coppermine_dir = the folder in which you uploaded your Coppermine files.) Follow the online instructions on the install screen inserting the necessary information as requested.
"
I did choose a subdir because someday I might need to install another preprogrammed application like cpg. As a none web programmer how should I find out to integrate these in the same index file and perhaps they use the same filenames in top level and overwrite each other. If I add application no 2 I must of course make an index page with two links instead one redirect, I think I should be able to manage that. But I will not try to merge two applications index files and themes etc into one, it is above my skills and ambitions (If I want to spend the time I could off course learn it, but right know I busy learning mysql and pearl.).
I must also respectfully say I disagree with the moderator Joachim about where this question belongs. I would newer look under themes, themes is somethink I I can choose inside the application in a menu and has nothink to do getting the application up and running. But that may be due to my lack of skills.
To me and I think other total newbies without any web programming skills, this is an install issue and that is where we would look for it.
My thanks to the people who choose to spend their sparetime helping dummies like me.
There are some god points in nearly all answers to my issue.
