Geeklog Forums

Hi everybody,

This is my second Geeklog installation. I'm doing it for a friend on the same exact host, so I figured that it would be a breeze. Unfortunately, when I proceed with the Geeklog installation - the screen that says Geeklog Installation (Step 1 of 2) - when I click next, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Failed opening required '/path/to/geeklog/system/databases/mysql.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /homepages/4/d90684718/htdocs/geeklog-1.3.8-1sr2/system/lib-database.php on line 110

I'm sure it's really stupid, but I've been trying for hours to get it working, but to no avail. So I was hoping one of you geniuses would just know offhand what was wrong? I looked in both mysql.class.php and lib-database.php but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. I'm sorry to bother you. Thanks again.

Either $_CONF['path'] variable in config.php is not correct or you haven't pointed to your config.php correctly in lib.common.

Snip from the install html:
I get:
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'some/path/to/system/databases/mysql.class.php' (include_path='.:/some/other/path/' in /some/path/to/system/lib-database.php on line 110

(line numbers may vary)

Answer:

The path that you've entered for the $_CONF['path'] variable in config.php is not correct. Make sure you typed it correctly. Also make sure it uses an absolute path, i.e. one that starts at the root of your file system (and that it starts with a / under Unix/Linux or a drive letter under Windows).

Not exactly sure but what I have to do fore each additional site is have a seperate config.php file for each site. So if my next site is config2.php then I have to change lib_common.php to reflect my different config. Then in order to get the install to work, I then have to change every occurance of config.php to config2.php. Then eveything installs just peachie.

So I have one directory for geeklog with 10 different config.php's.
