Geeklog Forums

Hello...'Been "steppin" out and trying to do it myself these days. Well, I've stepped in too deep I'm afraid. I did this same thing on my other site last week...Here I've done it again.. No fixes yet to either site.

Here is situation:

Went to config. page to change the following:
// make sure this is the correct URL to your site (no trailing slash)
$_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://www.iwebsites.info';

$_CONF['site_name'] = 'Internet Websites.info';
$_CONF['site_slogan'] = 'For Internet Enthusiasts';
$_CONF['site_mail'] = 'nanvr@comcast.net';
$_CONF['theme'] = 'XSilver'; // default theme

When I changed the info INTERNET WEBSITES.INFO AND FOR INTERNET ENTHUSIASTS..." I GOT THIS MESSAGE ON THE FRONT PAGE:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/iwebsite/public_html/config.php:441) in /home/iwebsite/public_html/system/lib-sessions.php on line 163

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/iwebsite/public_html/config.php:441) in /home/iwebsite/public_html/system/lib-sessions.php on line 175

Stepped in it too deep so what now ya'll?

Please advise and I'll be so thankful.

Me TOO!

Is it possible that I'm using my text editor ( I work on a MAC OS) and that is the problem?

Could the text editor cause this problem?

Something's gone wrong in line 441 of the config.php. Maybe your editor inserted an additional linefeed or messed up something else thereabouts.

In the original config.php, it looks like this:with the line starting with "// 'voteorder'" being line 441.

bye, Dirk

Couple of questions:

1. I put in my email address.. Is there another place on the site that the email should match? could that be the problem?

2. I cut and pasted the NEW and ORIGINAL code into the site... NO CHANGE .. still the same message..

3. This problem causes me not to be able to see the ADMIN panel.. It says I am logged in but does not show the entire Admin login panel for me to make any changes to the site.

4. This is a new site so I have nothing to lose.. Can I just clean install a GL upgrade .. Is there a simple way to do that since the site only has this one problem?

Again.. I thank you....and I'm excited to FINALLY begin to understand how to make my own changes. This has been a LONG road for this pea brain but FINALLY is good.... thanks again.
Me Too!

The problem is only your config.php. So if you don't care, get a fresh copy of that file and make your configuration changes to it again. You may also want to try another editor.

And yes, that warning message will also prevent you from logging in successfully.

Template Error: set_root: /home/iwebsite/public_html/public_html/layout/XSilver/ is not a directory.
Halted.

I double check it.. I copied it exactly "as I saw it".. "As I saw it may be the problem"..

Did I not SEE something to get this error?

Please advise and thank you so for your patience. I'm 'Hanging" in there and thank you for hanging too..

me too.

This is in the section about typical installation problems: http://www.geeklog.net/docs/install.html#template-error

Specifically, you seem to have "public_html" twice in your path.

bye, Dirk

After much effort and unremitting trial and effort AND of course, much encouragement and help from DIRK....I now have my site up and running.

Many will say.. "just a plain geeklog site". I say WAHOOOO as it has been hours trying to cut and paste, look, think, wonder, figure and the list of determination goes on... But success has been had and I'm thrilled and appreciative.
