I am installing 1.5.1 for the first time. The last install I did was 1.4.*.

When I go to http://trojanmasters.ie/admin/install/index.php I get:

Unable to locate Geeklog files ......................... db-config.php

Which I put in as /geeklogMasters/db-config.php

This screen shot will show this is correct.

My hosting company has set up my server so that I have my geeklog directory and my public directory parallel in my root directory.

I presume this new install for geeklog asks you to put in the site details as you go. You don't put them into config.php as before. Am I correct?

Those who say it can't be done, are usually interrupted by others doing it.

Is this really the complete path? On shared hosting, I would expect a much longer path, e.g. something starting with /usr/www/yournamehere/...

Check the messages you get from the install script for what looks like a longer path or ftp into your account and do a "pwd".

Or, if you had a 1.4.1 install on the same webspace before, check your old config.php for the "path to geeklog".

You were correct of course. All working fine now.

Thanks for your help.
