[QUOTE][u]Quote by: Anonymous[/u][p]Thanks for the feedback.  I managed to get it to the next stage, where it asks me to enter the path.  But then it gives me the following message:

Geeklog Installation - Error

Geeklog could not find config.php in the path you just entered: /home/httpd/vhosts/ozcarparts.net/httpdocs/admin/install/install.php
Please check this path and try again.
>>

I then tried to re-write the paths in the config and lib-common files (even changed in the configinfo in the admin/install folder) but with no joy.

After many hours of stuffing around with it, I am now officially sick of trying to install geeklog.  I will now uninstall it from the server and upload e107 or xoop either of which, from a non-geek perspective, is vastly superior to this piece of crap when it comes to installation.  Pity, as geeklog looks ok online but  ... if the install process is such a pain what can one do?

Cheers, thanks for the feedback, and I will check back in here in the future to see if there is a better II provided.

PS:

Here is an example of what the install part should look like (courtesy of the readme file in e107:

""""
Installation Instructions
Fresh Install --- 
e107 needs a mysql database to store all your site content, you can either create one manually, or the install script will create one for you if you have the correct permissions. e107 can also share a database with other scripts if you so wish (use a table prefix to avoid conflicts). 
Upload all the files to your server, leaving the file structure intact. 
In your FTP client, change the file permissions of the following files ...
e107_config.php : 777
e107_files/backend/news.xml : 777
e107_files/backend/news.txt : 777
e107_files/public/ : 777
e107_files/public/avatars : 777

Open your browser and navigate to install.php (ie http://yourURL.com/install.php). Follow the instructions to install e107. If there are any problems you will be informed. 
During the install process you will be asked to set up the main site admin, please write the details you enter down as for security purposes they cannot be retrieved later.

Notice any geek-lingo here? If they can do it, why can't  geeklogians do it as well?
