It\'s not with the other lib files. It is or should be in the public_html folder. Mark

You need to re-download the package and unpack it again.

Maybe, maybe not. You can email, me, Dirk, Blaine or Tony. We will gladly do a basic install for $50. Or you can find someone to do it for free. This is what is recommended. Create new mysql database. Create a new directory called geeklog, above your \"public web\" directory. Upload all the geeklog files to this new directory. Then upload all the files in public_html to your \"public web\" directory(usually public_html). Edit your config.php and lib-common.php files to correct path. Most shared hosting set up the directories like this. /home/account /home/account/geeklog - this is the new directory that you made. /home/account/public_html - this is your public web directory config.php setting changes $_CONF[\'path\'] = \'/home/account/geeklog/\'; // should end in a slash $_CONF[\'path_html\'] = \'/home/account/public_html/\'; $_CONF[\'site_url\'] = \'http://www.yoursite.com\'; //change yoursite to your actuall domain l Put your mysql database info in the correct spot. In lib-common.php require_once( \'/home/account/geeklog/config.php\' ); In /home/account/geeklog/logs change permission on both files located there. chmod 777 In /home/account/public_html/images change permission on articles and userphotos directories chmod 777 In /home/account/public_html/backend change permission on geeklog.rdf chmod 777 Run the install script from http://www.yoursite.com/admin/install/install.php Should work just fine. Make sure you don\'t edit the files with anything other than a text editor and Dreamweaver is not a text editor. Hope this helps.

From config.php:
Text Formatted Code
// Some hosting services have a preconfigured admin directory. In that case,    
// you need to rename Geeklog's admin directory to something like "myadmin"    
// and change the following URL as well. Leave as is until you experience any  
// problems accessing Geeklog's admin menu.
$_CONF['site_admin_url']    = $_CONF['site_url'] . '/admin';
See if that helps ... bye, Dirk
