I copied every _vit file form the working site to the non-working that I saw
missing. It still doesn't work. What if I uninstall SE through the hosing
account and then re-install, will that reupload and redo all necessary files
do you think or screw up my site totally?
:
Ok, the file that MicroSoft says to check out in the link you gave does not
even exist on my server, so I guess there is for sure a problem with SE. I
can look at my working site, and sure enough that file is on there. I called
support at godaddy.com where my hosing is, and tried twice and neither person
on phone had a clue. There only suggestions are to 1. copy missing files
from the working site to the non working, or 2. pay 150.00 for tech support
where they re-do all settings and I would have to upload the site back to
server. They want 150.00 dollars to re-set it when hosting is only 8.00 per
month! I tried copying the 1 missing file I know of, but it didn't work, and
looks like other files are missing or something.
:
Then there is a host set up problem w/ the FP SE or permission on the site
To test for the FP SE see
