X3Photo Gallery Forums

Hi, could someone help with me with the initial settings of my new installed X2 version. I have uploaded the files to my hosting server location, I can see the initial webpage just fine typing my url. But when I go into the /imagevue location to access the admin screen I get the log in prompt enter the default admin/admin and get the following error on the screen. I have checked my folder properties and have them set to 777 as suggested in the documentation, what am I missing ???

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: User Error

Message: An error "Empty document" occured while parse file /content/_vti_cnf/folderdata.xml at line 1, character 2

Filename: /imagevue/include/ivXml.class.php

Line Number: 227

I've removed the instances of folderdata.xml which resolves my problem

What was causing the problem ? I have no idea I installed it as per instruction and the first time i logged into the admin tool it errored, so then I fixed it the only way I know how. I removed all the folderdata.xml enteries in all the folders I had and after that the admin applet worked fine.

Granted I used my MS Frontpage as my only web editor to access the folders to do that.
