In order to understand my problem, please read what I want to do, how I configured it and what I am confused by. I added all this info so that you can see where I possibly went wrong. My questions and concerns are "quoted".
I tried looking throughout the forums but didn't see this.
What I was attempting to do: I want (and attempted) to configure the site so that the geeklog is at http://clayaikenonline.com/geek/. When you click on that link you (Do) get the geeklog.
How I configured it:
From the Config.php file
// This should point to the directory where your config.php file resides.
$_CONF['path'] = '/home/clayaike/public_html/geek/'; // should end in a slash
// 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 (i.e. without the $_CONF['path']) like this:
// $_CONF['path_html'] = '/home/clayaike/public_html/geek/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'geek/';
I am thinking this is where I went wrong. What do you actually mean by renaming the public_html directory? Do you mean having the geeklog within the public_html file but within another file? (as I have it) or physically having renamed the public_html file?
Also, the $_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path] . 'geek/'; - What IS this function and is this even right? I am not quite sure how this was supposed to be changed?
// Make sure this is the correct URL to your site, i.e. to where Geeklog's
// index.php file resides (no trailing slash).
$_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://clayaikenonline.com/geek';
The lib-common.php file
require_once( '/home/clayaike/public_html/geek/config.php' );
What is happeningWhen I have to install something such a plugin or a theme, it requires that I install it twice. It wants me to install it once within the /geek/ file - and then another time within a /geek/geek/ path - which I have no idea how this was set. So in essence, I am having to install plugins AND themes TWICE on my server, in different paths.
How can I make this a more clean install.. and have it so I only have to upload themes/plugins within ONE folder/path and not have to do it twice? what mistakes have I made through installing this? I am usually pretty good at installing php files and databases - but this one truly has me stumped. It's a great program in all and I can't wait to use it - just having difficulty getting it up. I've been working on this for litereally hours upon hours.. only to uninstall it and try it again. If anyone could help me, I would truly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Allison
