READ SO YOU MIGHT HELP THE DESPERATE Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, December 23 2002 @ 08:38 PM PST I feel as if I'm on the edge of success. I finally after a few months(I know you geeks can't believe that one but true for this wanna be geek)made it to step one. YES.. finally.. a page that says step one. It asks for a PATH. I'm unsure what my path is so I tried to one suggested. It provides this error message. Any help would so much be appreciated. thanks nanvr@attbi.com Geeklog Installation - Error Geeklog could not find config.php in the path you just entered: http://quarterbacks.biz/admin/install/install.php. Please check this path and try again.

If you are having path problems...try the Geeklog path and URL configurator tool.

Okay.. I have looked at the site you have suggested. I am going to try it.. I will let you know how it turned out. thank you....

HELP STILL NEEDED.. I CANNOT GET PAST STEP ONE AND I'M ONLY THREE STEPS AWAY FROM SUCCESS. PLEASE......HELP THE DESPERATE ON CHRISTMAS EVE...THANKS $_DB_dbms = 'mysql'; // Do not change (currently, only MySQL is supported) $_DB_host = '207.106.22.102'; $_DB_name = 'quarterbacks1'; // Yes, your DB must exist before running the installer! $_DB_user = 'quarterbacks1'; $_DB_pass = 'quarterbacks1'; $_DB_table_prefix = 'gl_'; // e.g. 'gl_' // optional settings for making database backups from within Geeklog $_DB_mysqldump_path = '/usr/bin/mysqldump'; // path to mysqldump binary e.g. /usr/bin/mysqldump $_CONF['allow_mysqldump'] = 1; // 1 = on, 0 = off // +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | SERVER SETTINGS | // | | // | All paths must have a trailing slash ('/').

That's nice but you don't say what problems you ran into now.

k, here's the changes that you need to make it seems. Assuming that your db information is correct. $_DB_dbms = 'mysql'; // Do not change (currently, only MySQL is supported) $_DB_host = 'localhost'; $_DB_name = 'quarterbacks1'; // Yes, your DB must exist before running the installer! $_DB_user = 'quarterbacks1'; $_DB_pass = 'quarterbacks1'; $_DB_table_prefix = 'gl_'; // e.g. 'gl_' // optional settings for making database backups from within Geeklog $_DB_mysqldump_path = '/usr/bin/mysqldump'; // path to mysqldump binary e.g. /usr/bin/mysqldump $_CONF['allow_mysqldump'] = 1; // 1 = on, 0 = off // +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ // | SERVER SETTINGS | // | | // | All paths must have a trailing slash ('/').

In that case, you should specify the complete path to the // directory like this: $_CONF['path_html'] = '/path/to/your/public_html/'; $_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'httpdocs/'; // you shouldn't need to edit the following $_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/';

Oh, and don't forget to edit your lib-common.php file to change: require_once( '/usr/local/share/doc/vhost/quarterbacks.biz/config.php' ); You may also need to change the name of the public_html directory to httpdocs to satisfy your server.

Hello. I know I seem dumb and I may be pretty dense but could someone in cyberspace explain what it means to change the Public to HTTP docs? thanks so much...

Oh, and.. is this what I put in the configuration for step two?/usr/local/share/doc/vhost/quarterbacks.biz/config.php Thanks so much.. I'm slow but sure in getting there.. Success is on the way! I'll keep you all posted!
