Topic: installing pastebin on windows

[glsmith]

Anyone successfully install pastebin on a Windows server?

I'm using "file" insted of mysql

I get this

H:/home/something/pastebin/public_html/../posts/ needs to be a writable dir to use file storage engine

ok fine. Instructions this is all that is stated;

If using the "file" storage engine, make sure the public_html/../posts
directory is writable by the webserver.

ok great, what is /../?

everything under public_html is writable, afterall, this is Windoze.

../ means one folder down. In your case

H:/home/something/pastebin/posts

So the flat file is outside the document root and NOT reachable over the internet.

----
edit:
On Windows there's often issues with accessing files outside the doc root

You can edit the lib/pastebin/db.file.class.php on line 62 and "correct" that path. Put it into the doc root and deny the access from outside with config or .htaccess

Kind of tried some of that, will give it another go later

Thanks Mario
