I have been trying to install GL for two days now...need some help.
First, I am a total newb at this...no php, sql, or cms experience. I have read all the posts I could find regarding these issues and have not found an answer.
I am using Win XP. I am uploading to a Unix server.
The error on check.php is
The install has not been run successfully, and I'm trying to figure out why. Currently, I am getting a
I then run check.php and get the first message above.
Before the Geeklog installation error, I was receiving a permissions error, and cleared it up by changing the permissions on config.php to 777 (this was not an instruction in the 'Installing Geeklog' doc btw).
I created a database called 'iburlington_com_-_geeklog'. My webhost instructed to not use 'localhost', but to use 127.0.0.1 instead.
I changed the 'admin' folder to 'myadmin' per instructions because my host (top web solutions) uses 'admin' as a default for their stuff.
I uploaded all the files using leechftp, and also changed permissions using this program. I was sure to change permissions not only on the folders, but the docs inside the folders as well.
The public_html files were loaded into my website's public folder simply called html. The non-public_html files were loaded into a folder labelled 'gl' three tiers above my html folder. In other words:
My webhost does not allow me to create a folder one step up from the html folder, but I could go three steps up as you can see. Could this be a source of my problems?
Finally, I have changed the config.php and lib-common.php files as follows:
I know this is a lot to look at, but I'm really stuck and fear I'm making a really simple mistake. If someone out there can help me, please let me know. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

OMG. This has been bugging me for almost three days, and just to show you how much of a newb I am, here's the answer to my fix...
In the installation page (domain_name/admin/install/install.php), I was giving too much information in the "Path to Geeklog" box. I was typing
In the installation page (domain_name/admin/install/install.php), I was giving too much information in the "Path to Geeklog" box. I was typing
/home/virtual/site177/fst/home/gl/config.php
instead of /home/virtual/site177/fst/home/gl/
Now I realize GL only wanted the path to config, not including config.php. BTW, leaving in the trailing / didn't seem to hurt, the database was set up just fine.
