i was trying to install in a subdirectory. previously i installed it there ...with the public_html directory .. so everytime i tried to enter the site .. i had to add the "public_html" in the url ..


next i tried to install again .. i copied all the stuffs from the "public_html" folder to the root directory .. and changed the path accordingly in te "config.php" and in "lib-common.php"
but now when i try to install .. it fails to locate the config.php even thou i entered the right path

Hehe, well I had a similar problem to you, only I went through this the hard way and wasted a day finding another error a bit later on.

Try copy pasting all of the files in the directory public_html into the rootfolder of your website. Change the path to config.php to /config.php relative to the origonal directory.

There is also a section manually that you have to change in config.php to do with the login name and pass specified to access the database. Use phpmyadmin to add a user, and plug the username and password information into these fields.

Sorry if you knew that already, but its how I went about it.

Now I have a problem where lib-config.php is 'corrupt', which is absolutely bullshit because I only edited it with simple text editors and extracted with winRa. That part Im confused about, just try copy paste into the main dir n' see if that works.

Goodluck dude Cool
