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.

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 ('/'). If you're on Windows, they | // | must also start with a drive letter (e.g. 'C:/'). | // | The 'path' value signifies where the config.php (this file) resides | // +---------------------------------------------------------------------------+ $_CONF['path'] = '/usr/local/share/doc/vhost/quarterbacks.biz/'; // C:/inetpub/wwwroot/geeklog/ // You only need to change this if you moved or renamed the public_html // directory. 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'] .

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...
