Untarred and lost
Confession: I got in over my head.
My website control panel can untar (it said unzip) the gz file. So I uploaded the 1.8.4 gz file to my server and clicked to unzip/untar. Then it told me the tiki folder, to which I'd uploaded the gz file, was empty, and I can't find where all those files went.
Did they get put somewhere? Or did the process not get complete? Is there a link like www.mysite.com/install.php or something I need to call up?
Duh!
