Due to the setup of my virtual hosting account I cannot use \"admin\" as my directory name but have been forced to change it to \"admin1\".

Will this have any major effect on my installation?

You will need to set $_CONF[\'site_admin_url\'] in config.php accordingly (see comments there).

bye, Dirk

just did that, but i\'m still getting the following error.



Warning: Can\'t connect to local MySQL server through socket \'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock\' (2) in /var/www/html/geeklog/system/databases/mysql.class.php on line 104

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can\'t connect to local MySQL server through socket \'/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock\' (2) in /var/www/html/geeklog/system/databases/mysql.class.php on line 104
Cannnot connect to DB server




i\'ve checked my database name, the logon and password, and can login into it through my admin interface that is on the server, so i know all that is correct. any ideas???

checked everything again and there was a small error... i was editing a commented line

anyway, now i\'m getting this error

Fatal error: Failed opening required \'var/www/html/geeklog/system/databases/mysql.class.php\' (include_path=\'.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php\') in /var/www/html/geeklog/system/lib-database.php on line 110

Wrong path.

bye, Dirk

I\'ve checked this again, a little more patiently and now I\'m getting the first error message again. I believe that I have the paths setup correctly but am not sure that I\'ve setup a username/password for my mySQL database.

As I\'m extremely new to this, how do I do that, using myphpadmin?

i meant to write mysqladmin not myphpadmin.... sorry

again, i\'m mistaken... i\'m running phpMyAdmin.

how do i setup a user in my database?
