I've uploaded all the Geeklog files, given them the right CHMODD and created a database using PHPhelp (something): anyway: what does this mean:

Warning: main(http://63.247.129.78/~rierink/system/databases/mysql.class.php): failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in /home/rierink/system/lib-database.php on line 114

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'http://63.247.129.78/~rierink/system/databases/mysql.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/rierink/system/lib-database.php on line 114

You're confusing paths and URLs. $_CONF['path'] should - as the name suggests - be the path on your webserver's file system.

Thanks for your response.
I should not put the config-file in the public_html as far as I know, right?
I put those files out of the document root (which is public_html). How should my config-file look then?

Now the line says:

// This should point to the directory where your config.php file resides.
$_CONF['path'] = '/'; // should end in a slash

because there is no higher/extra directory as far as I know, but if there is, how do I know what it is called? That's why I put in the www. of the site.

Now the install.php in my browser says:
<b>Warning: main(/system/databases/mysql.class.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/rierink/system/lib-database.php on line 114

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/system/databases/mysql.class.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php' in /home/rierink/system/lib-database.php on line 114</b>

My lib-common: require_once( '/public_html/config.php' );
Wrong?

Yes, I did read the manual, and I still do'nt know what is going wrong.
I know it means that in config.php my path is wrong, but from the original file the "/path/to/geeklog/'" which I should change is not really obvious to me.
What is the 'geeklog' in this context? Where my config.php resides!
And where does it reside? outside the root? :kickcan:

That's what the "hint" at the bottom of the install script is for. You will see that the proper path is actually longer.

Or you can extract the same information from the error message:


So it seems your $_CONF['path‘] should be '/home/rierink/'.

bye, Dirk
