X3Photo Gallery Forums

I'm ready to purchase Imagevue, but would like to confirm that I can handle it with my minimal web skills.

I purchased hosting from Hostgator and I purchased my url last year from Godaddy. My needs are simple, no on-site e-commerce, only the photo galleries, a few text/info pages, and contact page. I don't have an existing website, but I'm happy to use Imagevue as my complete website. Will I be able to install the files from Imagevue into the root directory at Hostgator fairly easily? Do I need any special software to do this?

Thanks so much.

One more question. I'm not going to do any e-commerce on my site, but I do want to tell people to contact me if they would like to buy prints. Can I assume that puts me in the "commercial" license category?

Thanks mjau-mjau. I'm just an amatuer who sells the occasional "art print" but photography isn't my business pursuit. But I don't want to risk being in violation of the license so it sounds like I should purchase the pro license to be safe. BTW, I love your product!

Good suggestion, thank you. I have purchased the private license. Now I will test your patience as I'm not at all web savvy.

I downloaded Filezilla and was apparently successful at moving the files from the imagevue folder to the root directory of my home site. I want to use imagevue as my start page and entire site.

I'm hosting on HostGator, and on their control panel/file manager I can see the files and folders that I uploaded. This is as far as I've gotten. I see no way to open the imagevue admin panel in the HostGator file manager. Sorry for my ignorance.

It turns out that the nameservers for my domain had not updated yet. My domain should be active by tomorrow. Hopefully all will be well then.

Thank you for your help so far!

Imagevue is working for me now. HostGator moved the files to public_html and everything appears to be working. I went to the admin control panel and changed my password. So here's my next stupid question. How do I get to the control panel now that it no longer displays in the top right? Thanks.

Yes, I figured this out, thanks. I told you it was a stupid question.
