Shorty would be great if you could use it with IE (which is still used by a large number of people). It’s easier to use one of the tutorials I’ve found elsewhere and create the files from scratch. Sorry!

Having thousands of links inside the database is not resource intensively. But if all the links are accessed by a lot of people (several thousands or more) at the same time, it could cause a heavy burden on the CPU.

@karen: I have completely no experience with Apple’s iWe and MobileMe, so I won’t be able to tell you whether it works or not. I will help you keep a lookout. Once I got the answer, I will inform you.

I’m so very much not a web developer but I really like the idea of this application. I also use Apple’s iWeb templates hosted on MobileMe (Apple’s replacement for .Mac). Can I run this there? If so, can you please tell a total non-tech how to do it?

I uploaded this many times and It works until I click on the link I made. It dosent make the directory I specify. I can’t figure out why. I have even changed permissions to 777. WHat do you think I am doing wrong?

It works in Firefox..but not in IE7..at least for me. In IE7, gives me an error..Object doesn’t support this property or method.

It works fine on my side. I have re-download and reinstall it on my server and there’s nothing wrong at all. Perhaps you want to check your installation again?

This doesn’t work anymore..does anybody know what the problem is? The demo on their own site doesn’t work either.
I downloaded the script and installed it..it went that far..but when i try to log in, it won’t let me.
Anybody else have these issues?

Thanks for your prompt reply. That’s is the problem. I have thousands of product links and the CTR is pretty high. I’ve seen my MYSQL and CPU perform at a high level (which is risky) so I was search for alternative to Shorty. Please do email me if you have one (especially for site with high traffic).

Will this shorty become resource hungry when we use it a lot? let’s say we have couple thousands of links inside the database…?

To install shorty, first create a database on your server (using phpmyadmin). Next, open up the configuration.php file in the shorty folder and edit the database information. Upload the whole folder to your server. On your browser, go to http://your-server.com/shorty/_install.php. It will prompt you to create your username and password.

{Update}

The instructions tell me to run the _install.php from a web browser, but even that gives me the error 500.

Help?

How do you install Shorty? I copied the folder to htdocs and when I go to http://{server}/shorty/index.php it gives me an error 500 (Server error).

Any ideas?
