This man page refers to b2evolution version: 0.8.9
Once your installation is done and working, there are still a few tricky things you should definitely take care of:
- When you edit any of the config files, be careful not to add any extra blank lines at the start or end of the file. For some very tricky reasons, this will cause your cookies to fail where needed in the app, and you won't know why. We have spent a very looooong time figuring this out!
- In the /blogs folder as well as in /blogs/admin there are two files called [ sample.htaccess ] . You should try renaming those to [ .htaccess ] . This will optimize the way b2evolution is handled by the webserver (if you are using Apache). These files are not active by default because a few hosts would display an error right away when you try to use them. If this happens to you when you rename the files, just remove them and you'll be fine.
- If you get any file permission errors when running b2evolution, then you must take care of changing all necessary FilePermissions.
