Geeklog Forums

I'm trying to get a geeklog to run on a server in a /(blabla)/subdomains/(somesubdomain)/httpdocs structure, but I can't get the non-public part of geeklog in the /(blabla)/subdomains/(somesubdomain)/ part, so I tried the option of creating a password protect dir, and the admin panel of the site only lets me make password protected dirs in the /(blabla)/httpdocs part.
So I made one and threw the nonpublic stuff in it, made the $_CONF['path'] and $_CONF['path_html'] and that line in lib-common.php point to the right directories and............

Darn...I'm getting an empty page!

I spellchecked the config.php and lib-common.php
Ooh and did I say it was an already working geeklog?
This throwing around of files already worked on another site....but that was a very different structure..

Should I learn to password protect dirs by hand and choose another dir?
Where are the places I can place those dirs?

I seem to be out of luck:
my hosting provider permits no uploads at all outside the public dirs....
Should I give up on installing geeklog on this server?

It sounded like you saw Installing Geeklog entirely within the web root already. So what exactly prevents you from doing it that way?

bye, Dirk

Hmz...got that password protecting stuff solved, but still can't get it to run from another dir..

I had the situation:
$_CONF['path'] = ''/blabla/httpdocs/not_public/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = '/blabla/subdomains/geeklog/httpdocs/';

Which I couldn't get to work even after 10 times proofreading the 2 config files.
So I tried blaming it on the dir structure and now I tried
$_CONF['path'] = ''/blabla/subdomains/geeklog/httpdocs/not_public/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = '/blabla/subdomains/geeklog/httpdocs/';

I indeed pw protected the not_public dir...again proofreaded carefully....
The manual says "top directory" but I can't really put it any higher without getting esthetically unpleasing results or plain FTP errors.

Maybe I should add that I'm Dutch and therefore don't have the full english vocabulairy.
What could I be overlooking and could this dir structure work or is there something about the code that expects the dirs higher in the dir chain than the public part?
