common places /www/ folder or /public_html/

looking at my friend's server which not sure what's running but has plesk panel
/httpdocs/ is where things are :) so I bet that's a safe spot

to test out the image issue try to load the picture directly like put up some random pic to main directory which is /httpdocs/ for you if that goes right put still no go from the TSSE script then check out if you put proper permission on directories

be sure to have GD, cURL, Zend, at least php5 (php4 doesn't really cut it because you will have issues), mysql4+ ( i use mysql5) and maybe ionCube loader ( i forgot if that was necessary for this version)

MUST have php safe mode off, mod_rewrite on and i hope that's it
it's midnight I'm getting sleepy so i probably forgot something :P anyways good nite and good luck
