can you please provide a screenshot of a config.php file?

I don't see a config.php file.

Quote from Stephanie ow_includes

Its in the ow_includes folder of your public_html

There is no config.php in the zip I dled from the site, I know where it should be. But ti's not there.

There is no config.php file in the zipped upgrade. It's missing because it's an upgrade and not a new install. The upgrade only replaces files that have been changed for version 1.6, but the config.php file on you computer hasn't been changed and it contains important information about your database etc.

As Krunch has pointed out, you must go to your server (not the zip file) and locate config.php , just as Krunch has shown in his screenshot.

My guess is that you may have deleted this file from the server before replacing the new files.

If the file isn't there, you will have to add it and replace the details marked with XXXXX in lines 3 to 9 in the copy I've attached for you.

Good luck

It wasn't there, so I replaced it. Now it's just timing out when I try to run Roleplaycentral.org/ow_includes

or its still giving the same error

Quote from Stephanie Roleplaycentral.org

http://roleplaycentral.org/oxwall seems to load fine to me..

It works for me too. It's also a really nice looking site.

Stephanie, clear the browser cache or try with another browser. 

Oh no. I meant the roleplaycentral.org/ow_includes to do the update. It won't run.

I was also a bit confused on which "root" to extract it to as well

There is the public_HTML root, which contains my domain and my oxwall folder

And then the oxwall installation folder, with all the site files in it.

you need to extract files in the oxwall installation folder then follow the tutorial: http://docs.oxwall.org/install:update

Okay, because that's what I did. And the update won't work. I can try once more. But it's not working for some reason.

What do you mean it won't work? Do you have some kind of an error, message? 

ow_includes will be in your oxwall folder. That's why your url is http://roleplaycentral.org/oxwall

I don't think it's a good idea to install any program in the root directory. It may contain an index or .htaccess file that could clash. Having the Oxwall directory there is fine.

Have a look at the/oxwall directory for ow_includes and copy the config there if that's what you want.

The script seems to be running perfectly and as long as it's 1.6 why do anything?

So I've uploaded the file, I extract it. Went to roleplaycentral.org/ow_includes and I just get a 404 err.

Well. I need to do this update because I have a perpetual "Hey, we have an update" warning on my admin panel. And my mobile version is absolutely terrible because it didn't update correctly.

Why do you call ow_includes you should go for ow_updates?

Oops. Sorry that is what I'm doing. Just typed it wrong for some reason, long day.

But still getting the error.
