Geeklog Forums

hello everybody,
when i installed the geeklog,i have problem, why i can't find the db-config.php file,and i create a text file named db-config.php,the sever says "Did you make sure the file is writable by the web server?" , i make the preportity 777, why can't write?somebody can tell me?

When the install script can't find the db-config.php, it asks you to enter the path to that file. Don't create a new file - tell it where it can find it.

That's about all I can suggest at this point without more information. Did you move the db-config.php to another directory?

bye, Dirk

i install geeklog in second level directory,likes www/geeklog. db-confing.php create by itself or not?

you says:"Did you move the db-config.php to another directory?"

but i cant find it.

btw, /path/to/db-config.php needn't modify?

think you.

It doesn't matter where you install Geeklog - in a subdirectory is fine. But the install script needs to find the db-config.php so that it can write the database information into it. There is a db-config.php in the Geeklog tarball and you should use that file, not create your own.

When the installer can't find the file, it will come up with the /path/to/db-config.php prompt that you mentioned. You need to enter the correct path now. Below that text entry box are some hints that should help you figure out the correct path to enter.

Dir,
The important thing is , i could not find the file db-config.php,and where is it?
or the server can create by itself? or others?

As I said, the file is in the Geeklog tarball. It should be in the same directory where the "plugins", "system", and "sql" directories are.

bye, Dirk
