I get the following errors when clicking on next on the install.php page. I have exchanged "mysite" for the actual directory for security reasons... Please advise as what to do.

There's obviously something wrong with your path settings, since for one file, it starts with /home/mysite/ while for the other it starts with /home/cweb-net/ - one of them must be wrong.

bye, Dirk

Is that your advice? Maybe you didn't read my entire post, I stated that I had replaced that part of my path with mysite. I would expect more help from the site admin. Please somebody offer an actual suggestion. Thanks!

Well if you changed the path names in one in part of your post - why not have changed them all. Since you did this for so-called security reasons

I only hope you don't critize me for trying to help

/home/cweb-net/public_html/CMS/geeklog-1.3.8/public_html/admin/install/install.php 

[/code] 
I see an extra public_html in this path - even with your edits, it still looks like the error message is clear that the path setting does not match to where the files are.

Thanks Blaine for your response. Yeah noticed that I forgot to change all the paths. But I had posted and it was already too late. But still I think my explanation was clear. Anyways getting past that.

Okay here is my situation, I did not want to post GL onto the main part of my site, until I could get it configured. So I put it into the directory /CMS... So that is why you see two public_html in the path. So how do you suggest I organize the directories in this situation, so that I can install in the /CMS directory, so that when I type in http://www.mysite.com/CMS that it will load directly GL after install? Thanks in advance.

BTW, I really was not trying to crack down on Dirk. And I apologize if that was how I came across. I was simply trying to express my expectations of support. No hard feelings Dirk, my not changing all of the paths, probably led to your confusion in my post. I look 4wd to your replies.

Suggest you have a path problem.


This is what I would do for paths.

From the install, copy all the files in your public_html to your cms directory.
/home/cweb-net/public_html/cms

Create a /home/cweb-net/geeklog directory and copy the other subdirectories there.

$_CONF['path'] = '/home/cweb-net/geeklog/'; // should end in a
slash
$_CONF['path_html'] = '/home/cweb-net/public_html/cms/';
$_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://www.mysite/cms';


Make sure to modify your lib-common.php file with the correct path, /home/cweb-net/geeklog/config.php

As a note of clarification for anyone as background that may help explain the directory structure you choose

Only the files in the archive's public_html directory need to be in a public accessible webserver directory - hence the name public_html.

The other files can be located in another physical and more secure directory. They still need to be accessible by the webserver but not by webusers.

The public_html files or scripts are called by users which then call in any other scripts but these other scripts need not be called directly as URL accessible scripts. The webserver just needs to have physical access to these files. For security reasons these files are often located somewhere else - outside of wwwroot.
