Blah. I've spent over 3 hours editing these files and I just can't get it to work. Can someone PLEASE help me? This is the error that I get:

Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: database in /homepages/6/d90726738/htdocs/system/lib-database.php on line 113


Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance,
John

I am attempting to install GeekLog 1.3.8-1sr2 on my website. I followed the installation file step by step, triple checking everything. I even read the entire Error Page to see if my error appeared on that page and it didn't.

Is that the only error message you're getting?

It's either a path problem or you changed the $_DB_dbms = 'mysql'; line (which you're supposed to leave alone) in config.php.

I'm echoing Dirk's question. Is that the only error message you are getting? That 'can not instantiate non-existant class' error generally shows up when something is wrong in the class. Look in your error log file to see what error messages appear above that one. They will probably provide more information.

Well I checked all my paths and all of them are 100% correct. My MySQL databases have all the right info and everything. I moved to config.php into the public_html folder and then I got this error:

Fatal error: Failed opening required '/homepages/6/d90726738/htdocs/public_html/system/classes/template.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /homepages/6/d90726738/htdocs/public_html/admin/install/install.php on line 513


Ag, any suggestions on that?

You guys helping me is greatly appreciated, thank you.

Your config.php should never reside in public_html.

Assuming that htdocs is your document root (when you put an HTML file into that directory, you can view it in a browser, right?), you should copy the contents of Geeklog's public_html into the htdocs directory and everything else one level up, i.e. into the d90726738 directory.

Then '/homepages/6/d90726738/' would be your "path to Geeklog" and you will need to replace the "public_html" in $_CONF['path_html'] with "htdocs".

bye, Dirk

Thanks that might actually work Smile The only reaon I put config.php in the public_html was because I was desperate. Anyways, I'll remove it and try what you said to do.

Thanks again,
John
