You will have to create a new directory for your te3 installation. In the past we recommended webmasters to install TE3 into a "te3" directory, but now we advise you to choose a unique directory name (e.g. "anything") inside your ''public_html'' directory for the respective domain name. //chmod// it to 755 (depending on your server configuration you may need to //chmod// it to 775 or 777). \\ \\ Read more about TE3 "customizing and renaming" functions [[te3:customizing_and_renaming|here]]. \\ \\

 You have to make sure ''.htaccess'' is working properly. Try to access ''tedata'' directory and some files inside it, through your browser. For example:
-''<nowiki>http://www.yourdomain.com/te/tedata/</nowiki>''
+''<nowiki>http://www.yourdomain.com/your_TE3_directory/tedata/</nowiki>'' \\
-''<nowiki>http://www.yourdomain.com/te/tedata/tips.txt</nowiki>''
