Falling At The First Hurdle (Installation).

Hi guys,

Firstly i can only apologize for my query as it seems very routine but not something i'm familiar with. I've scoured the forums but to no avail, so i guess if i don't ask, i'll never know.

But basically i'm falling at the first hurdle with regards to installing the free version of Freichat, in that i i'm not overly sure where to actually install the file :S

Admittedly, i'm still very new to Joomla and website development as a whole, but my previous installs have consisted of me either using the extension manager (something i know is not possible with Friechat) or uploading to my host files.

The latter is not noted on the forums as i had hoped it would be, but presuming it would be more or less the same, i added the Friechat file in Parallels Plesk Panel (my host) via mysite/httpdocs/components/com_freichat

Sadly this didn't work, but when i revert back to the documentation you guys provide, i'm struggling to understand where i find the CMS Installed Directory if it's neither of the 2 methods above.

Again, apologies for the newbie question, but this feature would be a superb addition to my site if i can overcome this slight hiccup.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks,


Jake.

Sorry, forgot to add that i'm using Joomla 2.5.9 & have the latest version of Kunena Forums installed.

Thanks.

mysite/httpdocs/components/com_freichat

According to this path , since components is in httpdocs folder your CMS installed path would be mysite/httpdocs

So freichat should be placed in mysite/httpdocs/freichat

Apologies for the delay, i never checked my Spam to see if i'd received an email notification.

However, i'm delighted to say your advice worked & FreiChat is now up & running.

Thanks for taking the time to reply, much appreciated :)
