Downloaded & installed the free trial, but part-way through the configuration, I get PHP error messages relating to subdirectories of amember which do not exist, and which are not a part of the download. Specifically, there is no "smarty" folder under amember in the download!?... Warning: main(/home/aahfnorg/public_html/amember/smarty/Smarty.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/aahfnorg/public_html/amember/rconfig.inc.php on line 7
Just got an email from tech support, and they fixed and provided a new "free trial" download. Seems that some of the directories were improperly excluded from the one I downloaded. I'm up & running now (as I mentioned, the directories were not in the download, so FTP mode would have nothing to do with the problem).
