jaderollie, the first step in the installation process is to use your FTP client (whether it's web-based or software) to upload your files. How did you do step 1?

Installation:

1. Upload all files from the directory "root" (Keep the structure of folders)
2. The directory of videothumbnails and includes/videoserviceapi needs 777 permissions
3. Import the product-videodirectory.xml from the admin-controllpanel
4. After importing the product DON'T close the window, follow the installiton instructions!

paid an installer

say i get an ftp, where do i go to sort the problem???
or is it blown up???

[ArnyVee]

You're still okay jaderollie. All you have to do is install an FTP program.

I would suggest FileZilla (http://filezilla-project.org/) and then enter your FTP information (your hosting company usually sends this to you in a 'welcome' email or communication. Then, you can connect to your server and then CHMOD the files.

[jaderollie]

do i do all the files in there, or just 1 perticular folder??
thanks for all your help btw, nice 1

[ArnyVee]

'videothumbnails' and the YouTube and other directories in there and then the instructions say to also do the includes/videoserviceapi directory as well.
