Geeklog Forums

Hey guys, I've trying to put geeklog on a new site, and its being a real pain. Cannot figure out what is causing this error:

Warning: main(httpdocs/main/system/databases/mysql.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/rockx.com/httpdocs/main/system/lib-database.php on line 114

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'httpdocs/main/system/databases/mysql.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear') in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/rockx.com/httpdocs/main/system/lib-database.php on line 114

I've looked at similar errors, and my cohort has tried those fixes. Here is what we have from config.php:

$_DB_host = 'localhost'; // host name or IP address of your DB server
$_DB_name = 'xxxx(removed)'; // name of your database,
// must exist before running the installer!
$_DB_user = 'xxx(removed)'; // MySQL user name
$_DB_pass = 'xxx(removed)'; // MySQL password

...

// This should point to the directory where your config.php file resides.
$_CONF['path'] = '/httpdocs/main/'; // should end in a slash

// You only need to change this if you moved or renamed the public_html
// directory. In that case, you should specify the complete path to the
// directory (i.e. without the $_CONF['path']) like this:
// $_CONF['path_html'] = '/path/to/your/public_html/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path']';

httpdocs/main/ is where we're putting all of our stuff. All geeklog directories were uploaded to this page, since we don't have shell access.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. We've come to the realization that everything sucks compared to geeklog. There is no alternative!

Make sure to use the complete path, as indicated in the hint at the bottom of the first page of the install script.

From the error message, it seems you should really have

$_CONF['path'] = '/usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/rockx.com/httpdocs/main/';

Also enter that path when you run the install script.

bye, Dirk

FOLLOW-UP:

Yeah, Dirk was absolutely right: the complete path name needed to be in there.

However, we came across a permission problem also.

I guess some of these hosted servers that don't allow a person to get to the shell need to have the permission set differently. Be aware of that if anyone else comes across a similar problem.

Thanks alot, Dirk.
