Heya. I went to the admin/install/install.php page to start the setup of Geeklog. The defaults for \"Installation Type,\" and \"Path to Geeklog\" seemed correct, so I left them and continued with the installation. However, the next page gave me this error.... Fatal error: Failed opening required \'/var/www/domains/genvoice.com/geek/system/classes/template.class.php\' (include_path=\'.:/usr/share/pear\') in /var/www/domains/genvoice.com/geek/public_html/admin/install/install.php on line 495 Any ideas? Thanks a lot!

So, does that file (template.class.php) exist in that directory? And does your webserver have read access to that file and the directories it\'s in? From what you describe, the paths are probably okay but that file either doesn\'t exist or the install script can\'t access it. bye, Dirk

the sql and system folders weren\'t uploaded, lol. so i uploaded them, and CHMOD\'ed them and their files/folders to 775. retried the setup, and got this error message: Fatal error: Failed opening required \'/home/Steve/www/geek/config.phpsystem/databases/mysql.class.php\' (include_path=\'.:/usr/share/pear\') in /var/www/domains/genvoice.com/geek/system/lib-database.php on line 110

$_CONF[\'path\'] should only hold the path where config.php is, but not include \"config.php\" itself. bye, Dirk

I fixed the path so that it does not include config.php. when i clicked the Next button, i recieved a 404 error. i went back, and tried it again, and it gave me the following error: === 1050: Table \'geek_access\' already exists === So, i figured that the installation is done maybe? So then i tried opening the index.php page in the public_html directory, and recieved the following error; === Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /var/www/domains/genvoice.com/geek/public_html/lib-common.php on line 69 Fatal error: Failed opening required \'/path/to/geeklog/config.php\' (include_path=\'.:/usr/share/pear\') in /var/www/domains/genvoice.com/geek/public_html/lib-common.php on line 69 === Thanks!

Line 69 is the line the includes the config.php:

require_once( \'/path/to/geeklog/config.php\' );

Make sure you have the correct path there. bye, Dirk

Thanks a lot. I got farther along my way, but I\'m stumped again. When i load the index.php, the page loads.... but no images appear, text comes in the font/size defaults.. and it shows this error at the top of the page..... Warning: fopen(\"/home/Steve/www/geek/logs/error.log\", \"a\") - Permission denied in /var/www/domains/genvoice.com/geek/public_html/lib-common.php on line 1555 I looked up what line 1555 is exactly, and heres what it is... if( !$file = fopen( $logfile, a )) Also, here\'s the link to the index page for you to look at if need be; http://www.genvoice.com/geek/public_html/index.php Again, thanks a lot!

[QUOTE BY= Unoptimus] I followed those instructions, and the exact problem still exists.[/QUOTE] That\'s not possible since the instructions tell you to try chmod 777 as a last resort and that always works. So what is the exact error message now and what are the permissions on the file and the directory in question? bye, Dirk

Warning: fopen(\"/home/Steve/www/geek/logs/error.log\", \"a\") - Permission denied in /var/www/domains/genvoice.com/public_html/lib-common.php on line 1555

the logs and files in that directory are all 777, and lib-common.php is also 777. i must have messed up earlier, but i dont know where.

Why does one of your paths here start at /home and the other at /var? You shouldn\'t change lib-common.php to 777.
