I got this error when I installed GeekLog. Any ideas as to how to fix it?

Fatal error: Failed opening required '/system/databases/mysql.class.php' (include_path='') in /home/radduen/system/lib-database.php on line 109

When I went to lib-database and found line 109, this is what it said:

"require_once($_CONF['path_system'] . 'databases/'. $_DB_dbms . '.class.php');"

Curse me for trying to install this stuff without any knowledge of PHP.

It's easy, one of your paths are wrong.---The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.

Sorry, meant to say "one of your paths in config.php are wrong".---The reason people blame things on previous generations is that there's only one other choice.

Thank you. I played around enough with the paths that it finally worked.

So what did you do to fix it? Which path that was wrong? I'm having the same problem and not sure where to look at. Thanks..

I am getting the same problems as many others but i cant figure what paths are wrong. I get this error after hitting next on the install.php:
<code>
Parse error: parse error in /home/.dacia/docrock/funk/config.php on line 67

Fatal error: Failed opening required 'databases/.class.php' (include_path='.') in /home/.dacia/docrock/funk/system/lib-database.php on line 109
</code>


here is my config.php snippet:
<code>
// +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+
$_CONF['path'] = '/home/.dacia/docrock/funk/'; /funk/;

// 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 like this (i.e. without the $_CONF['path']):
// $_CONF['path_html'] = '/funk/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = '/home/.dacia/docrock/funk/'; '/funk/';
</code>


Someone please help me withthis installation. loosing hair fast.

Try removing the period preceeding the word ".dacia"

Sorry, one more time. Remove the period in front of the directory dacia. Also, remove the last '/funk/'; which you have appearing twice in these two lines:
$_CONF['path'] = '/home/.dacia/docrock/funk/'; /funk/;
$_CONF['path_html'] = '/home/.dacia/docrock/funk/'; '/funk/';

This line here is missing mysql in front of the .class.php: 'databases/.class.php' . This may be caused by incorrect paths in these other two lines.

OK it worked but my final url of success.php give the ie dead page:

I removed the period and it did not work but i did remove the extra paths and it did all the way up to success.php and it gave me a http 404 error.
<br>from teh bottom of install.php<br>
Hint: The complete path to this file is /home/.dacia/docrock/funk/admin/install/install.php
<br>
when I run check.php i get the following:
<br>
Fatal error: Failed opening required '/path/to/geeklog/config.php' (include_path='.') in /home/.dacia/docrock/funk/lib-common.php on line 65
<br>
I copied all the public_html files into the /funk/ webroot directory. thinking it would be easier that having a longer path. It is driving me crazy as I am trying to do this for a school project for my E-Business/IT classes. Please tell me whats next.---=======================================

I suppose i have a path wrong in config.php but i have no clue wich one. I am running this on Apache on w2000. I have doubts about using "" or "/" ... please advice, i would be eternaly thankful


My config.php ...:
<code>
=======
$_CONF['path'] = '/phpdev/www/public/propan0/geeklog'
$_CONF['path_system'] = $_CONF['path'] . '/system';
$_CONF['path_log'] = $_CONF['path'] . '/logs';
$_CONF['path_language'] = $_CONF['path'] . '/language';
$_CONF['rdf_file'] = $_CONF['path_html'] . '/backend/geeklog.rdf';
$_CONF['backup_path'] = $_CONF['path'] . '/backups';
=======
</code>

Thanks much in advanced!!

Your $_CONF['path'] needs to end in a slash:

$_CONF['path'] = '/phpdev/www/public/propan0/geeklog/';

bye, Dirk

Thanks Dirk, that did the trick )

Eternaly Thankful,
Manuel

I'm having a simular problem. When installing I received these messages:

Warning: main(D:/Web/VR/chris/geeklog-1.3.7sr1/geeklog/system/databases/mysql.class.php) [function.main]: failed to create stream: No such file or directory in d:webvrchrisgeeklog-1.3.7sr1systemlib-database.php on line 109

Fatal error: main() [function.main]: Failed opening required 'D:/Web/VR/chris/geeklog-1.3.7sr1/geeklog/system/databases/mysql.class.php' (include_path='.;c:php4pear') in d:webvrchrisgeeklog-1.3.7sr1systemlib-database.php on line 109

I currently have php 4.3.1 installed and working - and the sql server is functioning fine. Again I'm new to php - any thoughts are appreciated.

I figured it out... for me, at least, you need to have a "/" in front of the path to geeklog.


Ex: /home/user/geeklog

NOT: home/user/geeklog



Hope that helps!

Dear Tony

I have installed Geeklog 1.3.7sr1 before without any problems. A couple of weeks ago, I upgrade my Redhat server with all the latest patches.

Today, I tried installing a new Geeklog on my server and I have encountered the following:
--------------------------
Parse error: parse error in /home/acc/wong/config.php on line 90
Fatal error: Failed opening required 'databases/.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php') in /home/acc/wong/system/lib-database.php on line 109
----------------

I have gone thru all the recent Fatal error postings related to this 109 error message and mostly Dirk and you have suggested that it is a problem with config.php's path problem, I cannot see why..

I have ensure that all the slashes '/' are in place but the problem still persist.

$_CONF['path'] = '/home/acc/wong/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'www/';
$_CONF['path_system'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'system/';
$_CONF['path_log'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'logs/';
$_CONF['path_language'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'language/';
$_CONF['rdf_file'] = $_CONF['path_html'] . 'backend/wong.rdf';
$_CONF['backup_path'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'backups/';

Any suggestions?
Thanks Barry

The error message says: parse error in /home/acc/wong/config.php on line 90

What is on line 90?

I wish to confirm that the above problem wasn't due to the new Redhat patches.

To those who are still struggling thru this problem while installing your Geeklog, I wish to share what I have found.

This fatal error doesn't necessary have to mean:
1. a missing / at the path
ie. $_CONF['path'] = '/home/www/htdocs/';
2. a wrong path

The error message also occures if you place a ' in your entry
ie. $_CONF['site_name'] = 'Danny's';

This ' can cause the error message.

Hope that helps someone out there.

Worked for me... (I actually think I wrote this last time I installed GL :p )
