Geeklog Forums

Im using geeklog-1.4.0b1, and im having a problem with paths. My problem is listed under 'Common Problems', its the

Template Error: set_root: /home/cinkcool/geeklog/layout/professional is not a directory.
Halted.

My web root dir path is /home/cinkcool/public_html/

I've tried setting $_CONF['path'] . '/public_html/' to everything i could think of, including leaving it blank, and i still get the same message. Also, when doing an install check, i get the same problem...

Testing backend directory /home/cinkcool/geeklog/backend/

Its substitutiing 'geeklog' for 'public_html' and im not sure why or where that setting is located. I'll keep poking around but hopefully someone here can help...

Thanks

One other thing...

Substituting is the wrong word, that example was merley copied from when $_CONF['path'] . '' was empty. When it look like $_CONF['path'] . '/public_html/', the error message is then

Testing backend directory /home/cinkcool/geeklog/public_html/backend/.

Fixed. I was digging through past forum posts and eventually found the solution, changing

$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'public_html/';

to simply

$_CONF['path_html'] = '/home/cinkcool/public_html/';

I recommend this to be put into the FAQ as this seems to cause problems. Thanks

Nevermind it is...

Still, a mention should be made in the common problems section.

Ill try to leave you guys alone now...

Hi

It is a bit tricky for a new user - good to see you worked it out.

I agree it seems better if the default is changed in config.php

from
$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . 'public_html/';

to
$_CONF['path_html'] = '/path/to/public_html/';
