hey guys i recently bought an established phparcade site from the dp forums, i folowed the fresh install instructions, however the install.php function of the process doesnt work, just get a 404 not found.
Is there another way of installing if your not the origianal owner? or if you re-install how is this done, thanks

Do you have a backup of the database? Do you have the original files backed up? The database can be reset to fresh install, or back to the way you bought it, if you have that much. The configuration file is not hard to do either. It all depends on how much of the files you have is all.

i have all the files, however not sure i have the sql database, will need to check up on that

If you have the database, it should be possible. You would need to use phpMyAdmin to set up the database again. You would use a text editor such as notepad to edit the configuration file if/as needed. That would probably get it going again.

Like I said, if you have all the files, including the database.

So, are you moving the arcade, or did it go down, or...?

if it is an established site, there should be a sql dump.that holds the info not only for the scrip.but for the games also.
with sql dump you don't need to run an install.php.
404 means you are missing a file.it is not some php error.
never used that script,but i know my way around php and sql,so just like microjoes offered i will also offer any help.

See? ya have 3 people offering to help already lol. If you have the file for the SQL, or have it in a backup, etc, you should be able to get it going again with no problems. This is a good place to get help
