Geeklog Forums

like i said i hate to be repetitive but i have searched and can't find an answer that works! i get the below error message whilst trying to install: Fatal error: Failed opening required '/geeklog/system/databases/mysql.class.php' (include_path='') in /home/insane/public_html/geeklog/system/lib-database.php on line 90 All help would be very much appreciated. thanks

I would assume your $_CONF['path'] is not correct or rather not complete. From the error message, I would guess that you have $_CONF['path'] = '/geeklog/'; while it should really be $_CONF['path'] = '/home/insane/public_html/geeklog/'; bye, Dirk

thankyou dirk, i relly appreciate it. the geeklog community offers much more support then the phpnuke. anyway, i got that first problem and ran into another one. error being "error selecting database". from what i can see, my my config.php matches what i have in my control panel while setting up my databses and username. i have tried a search but didnt quite understand what was being said. any help would be greatly appreciated.

What OS are you installing on?

Do you have the GRANTS setup properly for the database user?

Maybe its as simple as a typo in your config.php...

Post some of your settings while obscuring user/pass information, readers might be able to spot something.

ok, here goes.. $_DB_dbms = 'mysql'; $_DB_host = 'localhost'; $_DB_name = 'insane_****'; $_DB_user = 'insane_****'; $_DB_pass = '****'; $_DB_table_prefix = 'gl_'; $_DB_mysqldump_path = '/usr/bin/mysqldump'; // path to mysqldump binary e.g. /usr/bin/mysqldump $_CONF['allow_mysqldump'] = 1; // 1 = on, 0 = off i am installing on a virtual server which is running Redhat, PHP version 4.20 (register_globals is on) and MySQl version 3.23.49a. Thanks

sorry i forgot to ask what GRANTS are? oh yeah im pretty sure i have CHMOD'ed the neccesary files correctly. Thanks

GRANTS are permissions, but for the database user. you need to make sure that database you've referenced in your config.php has been created and has access privilegs assigned to it, i.e., the database administrator needs to:

mysql> create database insane_****;
mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON insane_****.* TO insane_****@localhost IDENTIFIED BY '****';
mysql> flush privileges;

That will create the blank database and setup the privs for your DB_user. Then you need to go to http://yoursite/admin/install/install.php, do the database creation, etc.

ok, i understand what you mean but how do i go about it? hate to be dumb and so newbieish but hey we've all been here! would i just paste that code into a .sql file or what? thanks for the help

i take a tool like phpMyAdmin

yes i have phpMYAdmin, but im dumb. im not asking to be spoonfed or anything, but what do you do with phpMyAdmin? thanks
