working
I am new to GeekLog, but from what I've seen I love it and it looks as though it does everything I need.

Now for the problem...I've uploaded everything where it should be. "public_html" is in "/public_html/aractor/" and everything outside of the GeekLog's public_html folder is in "/etc/aractor/"

I followed the included install guide, but it hasn't helped me. After setting the permissions listed in the install guide I am getting the following error messages when looking at admin/install/check.php :
Text Formatted Code

Warning: main(/home/proslack/etc/aractor/config.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/proslack/public_html/aractor/lib-common.php on line 69

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/proslack/etc/aractor/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/proslack/public_html/aractor/lib-common.php on line 69

Line 69 is: "require_once( '/path/to/geeklog/config.php' );"
Mine is set to: "require_once( '/home/proslack/etc/aractor/config.php' );"

I've tried setting both config.php and lib-common.php with permissions 775 and 777. Neither changed anything.

If anyone has any suggestions, pleae ehlp me. I just want to get my site off the ground Wink

I'm just pointing into the blue, but I'm not sure if it is a good idea to "destroy" geeklogs file structure that way. I mean I would put everything into ../aractor/ , the public_html in ../aractor/public_html and so on. But I'm not sure if that is the problem.
On the other hand; I doubt that it's a permission problem. I think the error msg. is irritating.

Maybe I'm totally wrong Confused

Well as geKow suggested, I rearranged things so now everything outside of GeekLog's public_html is now in "/home/proslack/public_html/aractor" and all the files in the public_html folder are found in "/home/proslack/public_html/aractor/public_html"

After do this, the install script seemed to like it more because it started detecting the path to my geeklog on its own (at: "/home/proslack/public_html/aractor"). But after clicking next I got the following:
Text Formatted Code

Warning: main(/home/proslack/public_html/aractorsystem/databases/mysql.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/proslack/public_html/aractor/system/lib-database.php on line 110

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/proslack/public_html/aractorsystem/databases/mysql.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/proslack/public_html/aractor/system/lib-database.php on line 110

Line 110 is:
require_once($_CONF['path_system'] . 'databases/'. $_DB_dbms . '.class.php');
And that is a line I've never messed with...

Of course I am still getting errors when I look at check.php,
Text Formatted Code

Warning: main(/home/proslack/public_html/aractorsystem/classes/timer.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/proslack/public_html/aractor/public_html/lib-common.php on line 105

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/home/proslack/public_html/aractorsystem/classes/timer.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/proslack/public_html/aractor/public_html/lib-common.php on line 105

Line 105 is,
require_once($_CONF['path_system'] . 'databases/'. $_DB_dbms . '.class.php');
Again, a line I've never changed...

Any new suggestions? :-/

You seem to be missing a / after your paths. Notice aractorsystem, should be aractor/system

I set up all my sites like this. /home/geeklog/config.php, /home/public_html/index.php

Seperate the system files from the public files. If you put everything under your public_html directory, every file is now viewable, unless you password protect certain files.
