Geeklog Forums

I get this error when I try to run install.php:

Template Error: set_root: /home2/rocket/plugins/forum/templates is not a directory.
Halted.

Where do I go to fix this root? I hate to change it to
/home2/rocket/public_html/admin/forum/...
in many of the files.

I'm just confused... can anyone simplify the install instructions for me?

I mean, where do I go to fix this PATH. I HAD to change it to .... in many of the files.

You should not have to change this path at all in any of the program files. It's dependant on your main site config.php settings. I'm surprised you are not getting other template errors form Core Geeklog screens or other plugins that use templates.

What is the setting of $_CONF['path_layout'] ?

For some reason it isn't listing public_html in the path. I can't find what's causing this in the config file... all the paths look ok.

Oh, gave you the wrong info. Here is what you were asking for:

Ok, so assuming you have not changed any of these variables in your config.php
What is $_CONF['path_html'] set to?

Well that looks correct and there should not have been any need to edit any of the program files. I'd suggest restoring all the forum files to original.

Ok, but the reason why I edited them in the first place was because I was getting errors due to the fact that the paths were pointing to /home2/rocket/directory instead of /home2/rocket/public_html/directory

Editing the paths in the individual files corrected some of those errors but then I was left with the one that I posted originally.

But I'll try again.

Can you tell me if this is right? I'm confused about where everything is supposed to be uploaded.

Geeklog is installed in my public_html.

So, is this right?:
Upload everything to /public_html/plugins directory (I didn't have a plugins directory in my public_html before, only in the admin folder, so I made one) except for the contents of the public_html folder that was in the download, which should be in /public_html/forum on my site, and the contents of the admin folder should go in /public_html/admin/plugins/forum/ and the forum directory under plugins/forum/themefiles should be uploaded to /public_html/layout/yourlayout directory.

Is that right?

Geeklog should be in /home2/rocket/



no.
delete that plugins folder. under the /public_html/ folder is a plugins folder.

your structure should look like so:
/home2/rocket/ (this is where config.php lives - under your webroot)
/home2/rocket/plugins/ (this is where all your plugins go, staticpages is already in there)
/home2/rocket/public_html/ (this is where index.php, and lib-common.php exist - this is the webroot)
