I can\'t proceed to step 2 in the installation. The link is here. When you click next or whatever, you get this Warning: main(/public_html/geeklog/system/databases/mysql.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/shadowru/public_html/geeklog/system/lib-database.php on line 110 Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required \'/public_html/geeklog/system/databases/mysql.class.php\' (include_path=\'.:/usr/local/lib/php\') in /home/shadowru/public_html/geeklog/system/lib-database.php on line 110 I have checked and lib-database.php is on the server. Is there something I have to do to it? CHMOD? Rename it? Edit some part of it? Something?

Did you modify the lib-common.php file? Looks like you have a path problem.

http://www.geeklog.net/docs/install.html#failed-to-open Also, the error message already gives away that you have a path problem (the /home/shadowru bit is missing in the path). bye, Dirk

I have modified config and lib-common but I am still getting the same response. I looked at lib-database and I have no idea of what to do. Is there anything else I can post to help? Like config or lib-common or some other file?

You don't need to modify lib-database.php. You only need to make changes in two files: config.php and lib-common.php. When you call up the install script, it will try and find out the correct path for you and display it in the edit field already (depending on your setup, that may or may not work). Even if it can't find out the path automatically, it will give you a "hint" at the bottom of the first page. Another hint is the error message you quoted. From there, I'd say you should havein your config.php. bye, Dirk

are you on a shared host? is the web server setup so that /home/shadowru/public_html/ is the DocumentRoot ? What i would do is download the geeklog tarball into /home/shadowru/ and extract it there. It will create a geeklog-1.3.8-1 folder or something like that. copy recursively all the files into the current folder... so you\'re in /home/shadowru/, do a \"cp -R geeklog-1.3.8-1/ .\" Hopefully now everything should be in place. the config.php will exist in /home/shadowru/config.php, index.php will be in /home/shadowru/public_html/index.php and lib-common.php will be in /home/shadowru/public_html/lib-common.php. clear as mud? This is how i\'ve setup my geeklog\'s on multiple servers and i\'ve never had any troubles... once you have this setup, go into your config.php and set the following: $_CONF[\'path\'] = \'/home/shadowru/\'; $_CONF[\'site_url\'] = \'http://www.shadowrulers.com\'; lib-common.php: require_once( \'/home/shadowru/config.php\' ); assuming your running apache (and have access to the httpd.conf), set the DocumentRoot to /home/shadowru/public_html this will keep all the important files like config.php, the system folder, plugin folder under the webroot and unaccessable to the outside world. if anybody finds anything wrong with this correct me please!

Thanks, but I am currently running a site there. So instead of closing the site, I want to make geeklog in a sub folder in the site and then when I am done, change the index file to geeklog. I have done what u said and extracted geeklog into my public_html folder which is what is accessible by the internet. I don\'t know how to do the home/shadowru. Never heard of it before I used geeklog. Also, what is this cp -R geeklog-1.3.8-1/ ?

Ok, I figured out what was wrong. I forgot to add the / befor home. Anyways, I have it up and running but everything is coming from or going to www.examples.com/wherever it is coming from. I can\'t signing or do anything and all the pics have red x\'s

That would be your site url. That is the only place that example.com is used.
