Directory Structure?

Hi everyone. I am new to Geeklog. I have been using a different portal system which I will keep nameless 
I am wanting to make the switch to Geeklog but I have been having some issues with the install. I guess in the install readme it is unclear as to what the directory structure shoud look like on the webserver itself. I amhosting on a server that is run'n *nix system with the latest version of Plesk. My file directory of which my site runs from is the "httpdocs" directory. My question is, the file structure should be what? When I "UNTAR" the geeklog 1.3.11 I have several sub directories. such as:
Data, Backups...etc. Now do I upload ALL of them to the "httpdocs" directory or do I only do certain folders and files, leaving a a seperate upload for the "public_html" seperately?
For example Directory structure like this?:
Backups
Language
Plugins
Data
Logs
Public_HTML
System
OR
Admin
Docs
Backups
Images
Language
Plugins
Staticpages
Backend
Help
Layout
etc.
etc.
etc.
Thanks in advance for the help

Ok now I am not getting as many errors. However this is the one I am getting on the installation on Step 2 of the installation script:
Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in /home/httpd/vhosts/mydoman.com/httpdocs/system/lib-database.php on line 114
Fatal error: Failed opening required ' /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/system/databases/mysql.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/system/lib-database.php on line 114.
Any ideas? Damn I wish I knew PHP

My own successfully installed site has that file not under what you call "/home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/system/lib-database.php", but instead under the "/home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/geeklog/system/lib-database.php" directory.
So I think this is still a directory structure problem. Again, see that graphical explanation.

Let me add a comment or two.
1. I highly recommend you do the uncompress of the tarball in the directory where the not-to-be-seen-by-the-web-server files live, which in your case (if I read you right) is this:
/home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/geeklog
Actually, it'll call itself geeklog-1.3.11 for the latest version. Don't matter if you leave it at that or rename it to geeklog.
2. Then you'll move certain directory structures out to the directory where your web server will see it. Move everything _under_ public_html...not public_html itself...to either your top-level web directory or to something "under" that, if you want this as a sub-directory under your main site. In your case...again, from what I can tell from your previous post, this:
/home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs
...So if you want the GL application as your main page, then within httpdocs the index.php file will appear. Or if you want the GL application to be for instance "mydomain.com/myblog", then index.php would be ....httpdocs/myblog/index.php.
Does this help?

Oh man! I am go'n nuk'n futs! I managed to get to step 2 of 2 in the install but then got an error and I am really getting frustrated 
I have everything in the right directories I believe. I wish I knew someone that I can just tell show me or give them the info to my web server so they can set it up for me. I know it can't take that long. I set up my other portal I was using in like 15 minutes. I have a good understanding on how to set certan things up, but for some resaon this seems to be a bit more complicated and the instructions are a little vague and confusing as to what files go where on the web server itself. I have tried all kinds of things to fix the errors and when I fix one, I get another. Anyone got a gun?

Ok, I am making progress I think I have made it to Step 2 of 2 and after I hit the proceed button it creates the tables in my database but when it is supposed to show the success.php page I get the infamous "The page cannot be found" and this is what is in my addressbar:
"http://www.mydomain.com/home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/geeklog/admin/install/success.php"
Any idea what could be the problem here?

Here is screenshot of my web directory on my hosting server. I am assuming that this is correct. If not, then I need to know what it is supposed to be. The HTML file there is just my splash screen. Anyways, view screenshot:

// The table prefix is prepended to each table used by Geeklog to avoid name
// collisions with other tables that may already exist in your database.

Two problems areas in the config file! Now--I'm fairly new at this, so accuracy of these comments not guaranteed. But what I'm seeing is this.
You haven't put values into the database config lines--unless you've simply displayed the lines as you got them, which you might do to hide your database username/password, which you do not want to publish publically. Here are those lines:
Leave host as localhost, unless the DB is a different server than your web server. name, user, pass must all be set, the user/pass is (if I remember right, check documentation) the MySQL Root username. But check the doc--it might be instead for the more sedate normal user account.
This following line must contain not geeklog/ but instead your "absolute" path on the server to the WWW area.
Which I'm making a guess from your error message should probably be something like '/home/httpd/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs'.
Hopefully I haven't screwed up and steered you wrong! But those are issues that stood out to me.

I actually have the variables in my config file for the user name and passwords etc. I just put dbusername etc. when I published it on here so that nobody can see what I have set them to. I also changed the line with my domain name in it and its not happening. I think I might have to go back to installing the other portal Unless I can thet this thing fixed up, this weekend. But, I have been down trying to setup GL for nearly 5 days now.

Sorry to hear it--I probably struggled with things easily five days or more, just because I'm somewhat new to *nix install styles...almost all my problems were with the config.php & directory structures, I'm still mostly suspecting that's what you have.
Then I added easily another 5 days because I was on an old version of GL, and various hacks, functions, & plugins didn't do what I wanted, so I then upgraded GL & fiddled some more.
It's now been up & fine for almost 2 weeks, and I continue to fine-tune.
I'm delighted with GL, I just had a bit of a time learning.
Good luck, whatever path you take!

I have an idea. I was wondering if you could or would email me your config file without your domain name, usernames and passwords so that I can compare to the one I have. I can usually figure out where my issue is by looking at a properly prepared config file which would also help me determin the proper directory structure. I will add my own username and passwords and my domain name to it and work from there. I guess I just need a little jump-start.

Why don't you go for this option ...
That way you are sure you are ready, steady go for the futher and you won't loose more time and have a very good base to build on.
If you don't like thqt option, why not do the following as it seems most probably a directory structure problem.
Go to the directory where you placed your config.php
Do a pwd and a ls -l
Go to the directory where you have your index.php webpage and do a
pwd and a ls again.
Paste it here and let's take it from there.

Hi,
Not 100% sure it will work, but from what I see and the error you get try the following.
Move all the geeklog system directories into a new directory, one level up. We call this one geeksystem
Currently your config.php is available in your webdirectory
So it looks like this
<hidden path>/httpdocs
<hidden path>/geeksystem
<hidden path>/geeksystem/config.php
<hidden path>/geeksystem/system
...
Verify the file permissions on your geeksystem directory.
Now make sure your paths are absolute in your config file
// This should point to the directory where your config.php file resides.
$_CONF['path'] = '/home/httpd/vhosts/digital-directss.com/geeksystem/'; // should end in a slash
// You only need to change this if you moved or renamed the public_html
// directory. In that case, you should specify the complete path to the
// directory (i.e. without the $_CONF['path']) like this:
$_CONF['path_html'] = '/home/httpd/vhosts/digital-directss.com/httpd/geeklog';
If this is not working, and you still get the open_basedir error, have a look here and see if this solves your problem.
Maybe if all this doesn't work, let us know who your hosting company is and maybe someone else has a workaround.

Vapour71, I've been out-of-pocket (not checking in on this forum) for a bit, and I see Boris (knuff) has been posting for you...maybe he got something that worked for you?
And I also just saw for the first time your request I send you my config file. I'd be happy to...I'll nuke my usernames and passwords, but you can certainly have my domainname in my config file when I email it to you.
I am at ftuck@frii.com, email me so I know where to email you, and we'll see if what I got helps.
*laugh* Probably a bad idea to post my real email address here, but I've had that addr for maybe 12+ years...so much spam that I doubt publishing here will matter...*/laugh*
*sob* sob */sob*
One more option...there are several "masters" on geeklog that charge US $50 or so for a working install...would you consider that, you still have to do customizations like site name, themes, and more, but at least you get a working install! Plugins extra I'm sure.
I really hope you can get GL to work, it's really a cool product...and as I said, I'd be happy to email you my config & maybe we'd exchange notes about directory structures, Config and Structurs is where IMO most of the GL blues come from.

PS, if you're in the US, I can call you during very off-hours on my cell phone for free minutes, and that might be a Good Thing. I'm really serious about Directory Structures combined with the Config File as being critical to an install and I still think this is likely your issue.

Ok, I am making some headroom here. I have had my webhosting company reset all directories so that I can start from scratch. Now here is the message I get:
"Fatal error: Failed opening required '/home/httpd/vhosts/digital-directss.com/httpdocs/config.php/system/databases/mysql.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /home/httpd/vhosts/digital-directss.com/httpdocs/system/lib-database.php on line 114"
I have looked at this for a long time and made sure that everything was in correct spot. So, I AM getting closer to having this baby installed, but just need some direction and help with correcting this msg. Thanks
I've Gone To Find Myself. If I Show Up Before I Return, Make Me Wait Here Until I Get Back.
