Xantee Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 I don't know if this was the correct forum, apologies if not.... But I'm trying to setup webcalendar on my site. The files are only downloadable in a compressed format from the download site. So far, I've uploaded the primary file, which was in *.tgz format. I was able to uncompress this file to another compressed file. This other file is also compressed, but when I tried to "Extract File Contents" via cpanel's file manager, nothing seems to happen. So how can I uncompress this file? My home pc is running WinXP, and isn't able to unpack this file any further than is unpacked on my website directory. Quote
borfast Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Xantee, cpanel should be able to handle that file without any problems (assuming it's not corrupted). The only thing I see that may be causing a problem is the .tgz extension - .tar.gz is more usual in the Unix world, so maybe cpanel has some kind of problem with .tgz. Try renaming your file to a .tar.gz extension and see if it helps. By the way, I moved your post to the CPanel and Site Maintenance forum for better organization Quote
Xantee Posted March 13, 2004 Author Posted March 13, 2004 Thanks! The unpacked file had no extension, I tried renaming it with a *.tar extension and then it unpacked without a problem. Quote
borfast Posted March 13, 2004 Posted March 13, 2004 Oops, I didn't think of that possibility. Glad you managed to do it Quote
