Geeklog Forums

Hi there, I followed the instructions on the geeklog installation doc. But I get the following error:



could someone tell me whats wrong and how i can fix this?

thanks

any chance that this: /hsphere/local/home/maldives/sandhaanu.org/ doesn't match your $_CONF['path']? That's my guess.

nope, I changed it as you have told me:



but it doesnt work still. It gives me the same error.

any other ideas?

How did you upload the files?

Dutch Geeklog sites about camping/hiking:
www.kampeerzaken.nl | www.campersite.nl | www.caravans.nl | www.caravans.net

i uploaded the tar file.. and the uncompressed it on the server.

i can try to reupload it through ftp if that will do it?

please let me know.

Poking around on sandhaanu.org, it looks like you've only uploaded some of the files. For example, I see a 404.php and an admin directory, but none of the other files that should be in that same directory (like lib-common.php).

Also, if you want Geeklog running under that domain, you probably want to dump the contents of public_html into your sandhaanu.org directory and have all the other files one level up (that would be "maldives" then).

Anyway, your main problem is that you don't seem to have all the files in place ...

Hi dirk.

I have tried doing what you have asked me.. but I cant seem to get it right.

under this domain i have the following folders that belong to geeklog as follows:

backups
data
language
logs
plugins
public_html

Under public_html I have the admin and the
I have tried to move the folders around aswell. But still no luck.
Is it possible for me to ask u check it out for me? If so I can send u a private message.

Thanks.

Assuming that you want to run Geeklog directly under sandhaanu.org (and not in a subdirectory):

• Upload the contents of public_html into /hsphere/local/home/maldives/sandhaanu.org/
  
• Upload all the other files and directories into /hsphere/local/home/maldives/
  
• Set $_CONF['path'] = '/hsphere/local/home/maldives/';
  
• Set $_CONF['path_html'] = '/hsphere/local/home/maldives/sandhaanu.org/';
  
• Set $_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://www.sandhaanu.org';
  
• Run the install script from http://www.sandhaanu.org/admin/install/install.php

hi dirk, i tried that.. but still not working. Also I already have a logs folder in the /hsphere/local/home/maldives/
So I dont think I can overwrite that. In addition to that I have multiple domain folders under /hsphere/local/home/maldives/ So therefore even if it works, isnt it not good to try having the config.php file under that directory just in case I want to install geeklog for another domain which is in that dir? Wont the files clash?

Lastly I went through all the folders in geeklog and it seems there is no system folder. Is this supposed to be there? since the error sure seems to be saying failed to open dir.

Thanks

You can put all the files and directories that are outside of public_html into a directory, say, "geeklog". Like so:

$_CONF['path'] = '/hsphere/local/home/maldives/geeklog/';

And, of course, point the one line in lib-common.php to /hsphere/local/home/maldives/geeklog/config.php then.

You should definitively have a system directory. Try uncompressing the tarball with some other utility.

ok did that..

but now i get the following error:



I have also double checked the config.php and lib-common.php paths.
