Troubleshoot & F.A.Q.:
--------------------------------------
# What does chmodd mean?
[-] Chmodding a file or a folder means setting permissions to read , write and excute that file/folder.
Chmodd code is simply a binary representation of Read , Write and Excute.
755 chmodd means:
111(7) – Owner can read write execute 101(5) - other in the group can execute or read, not write 101(5) - rest of the world can read and execute, no write.

# How to chmodd a file or a folder on my server?
[-] Some servers offer a user interface that enables you to do certain FTP tasks without having to actually open the FTP folder of your website.
If your server does have a user interface, then you can easily select a file, search for the chmodding button and set the access permission to 777 or 755.
If your hosting provider doesn't offer an interface , Open your FTP folder (you should find the FTP address in your account information) , Select the file or the folder to chmodd, right click and select "Properties".
You will find a small table defining access (Read/Write/Execute) permissions for Owner , Group and All Users.
Make sure that the Owner has full permission to access the file (check all 3 boxes), and the rest have , Read/Execute permissions.
For 777 chmodding, check all boxes.

# The Guestbook works when tested locally (localhost) , but it doesn’t work on my server, why?
[-] If the Guestbook shows a "Loading Comments" message for a long time and doesn't load the comments, then you probably don't have PHP5 or higher installed on your server, or DOM functions aren't enabled.
[-] If the Guestbook loads comments but it says "Error submitting comment" when attempting to submit a comment then:

* The XML file of the comments is probably not chmodded correctly, it should be chmodded 777 or 755.
* The path to the Comments.xml file relative to the PHP file is not defined properly in the FLA file.


# Can I use this Guestbook with your template (ikoOte v1.0) ?
[-] Yes you can, just add its SWF file to the modules list.

# I tried to use this Guestbook with your template ikoOte v1.0, but it doesn’t work, but it works when I open the Guestbook SWF file directly…
[-] You must define paths to XML and PHP files (in the parameters, in the FLA of the Guestbook) relative to the main.swf file , not to the guestbook.swf file.
