However, I can't create a new app... I read that the app I started on Buzztouch website doesnt transfer over and I will need to start again.... However when I click "Create new app" it says "The Applications directory does not exist? Contact a system administrator for help. " Also, just to check, is the self host website supposed to be bland looking and not as organized as the buzztouch website??? Title Comments I just got my self hosting website up and running....

Maybe you're missing some files? The 'applications' directory is located within the 'files' directory... If this is your first install, you should have unzipped your 2.1.8 directory, and copied all the files to your desired web root directory, which would have placed the applications directory. Did you copy everything? It sounds like a new install... did you follow all the directions? you might also want to check out GoNorthWest's tutorials in Self Hosted installation; he always has good pointers... Hope this helps, but stop by again if you're still having problems. Cheers! -- Smug Comments The Self Hosted BuzzTouch site looks pretty much like the conventional BuzzTouch site.
