slight issue with installation in shared mode

[toiletduck]

I looked through the past posts, honestly I did but I couldn't quite find the answer to my issue. I followed the instructions here :http://www.s9y.org/41.html

The first line of the instructions says: cp -r /usr/local/lib/php/s9y/deployment/* /home/www/garvin.s9yblogs.org/htdocs/

I did this however, the index.php in the deployment directory only has this in it:

<?php # $Id: index.php,v 1.4 2005/01/26 14:12:31 garvinhicking Exp $
# Copyright (c) 2003-2005, Jannis Hermanns (on behalf the Serendipity Developer Team)
# All rights reserved. See LICENSE file for licensing details

require_once 's9y/index.php';
/* vim: set sts=4 ts=4 expandtab : */
?>


after following all the other instructions I go to http://mysubdomain.mydomain.com and I only get a blank screen. I resolved the path issues with the centralized sy9 directory from reading another post about the shared installation.

Is a redirect supposed to be occurring? I don't see how the index.php from the deployment directory accomplishes anything. What did I miss?

Thanks for your time and for the free software.

The index.php file you see should include the "s9y/index.php", which is the real core repository. This s9y directory needs to be in your include path like /usr/local/lib/php/s9y so that it can include the file. This is something like redirection, yes.
