Geeklog Forums

I love the look of Geeklog, but when I try to install it... I get this message: Template Error: set_root: system/install_templates is not a directory. Halted. I have installed it MANY times and all the other times I would go to the site and get NOTHING. One fat blank page. What the #@$! am I doing wrong?? Please help me!

Your path settings are wrong. Please post the relevant bits from config.php ($_CONF['path'] etc.). Also, please keep in mind that you need to use absolute paths, starting at the root of your file system (including a drive letter, if you're on Windows). The "hint" in the install script should give you an idea what an absolute path looks like. bye, Dirk

I hope you don't mind me hi-jacking this thread, but I am having the same issue, so maybe the fix will work for both of us... This is from lib-common require_once( 'C:/phperl2/Websites/Site2/geeklog/config.php' ); I tried using forward slashes instead of back slashes and I also tried using the configure tool that was recomended in another thread. The tool gave me the c:\\path which I also tried to no avail. Here is from config.php $_CONF['path'] = 'C:/phperl2/Websites/Site2/geeklog/'; // C:/inetpub/wwwroot/geeklog // you only need to change this if you moved or renamed the public_html directory $_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'C:/phperl2/Websites/Site2/www/'; // you shouldn't need to edit the following $_CONF['path_system'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'system/'; $_CONF['path_log'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'logs/'; $_CONF['path_language'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'language/'; $_CONF['rdf_file'] = $_CONF['path_html'] . 'backend/geeklog.rdf'; $_CONF['backup_path'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'backups/'; again I tried changing all these slahes to their oppisite or the double slash. The path IS correct as far as that is where I moved the public_html folder too and that is where the config.php file it located. Here is the message I get Template Error: set_root: C:/phperl2/Websites/Site2/geeklog/C:/phperl2/Websites/Site2/www/layout/XSilver/ is not a directory. Halted. I know this is something with my paths... that error pretty much proves it. This is being installed on a Win98SE test machine with the following versions Server Apache/1.3.23 (Win32) PHP Version 4.2.3 mySQL Version 3.23.49-max-debug TIA for any help anybody can offer. Riko

Ahhh I figured out what I was doing there. I was adding the geeklog path to the public_html path when in fact they are side by side. Now I am just getting a blank page though....
