now i get this error when I try to ping
Warning: pnb_getpingbackurl(HTTP/Request.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/ortonet/public_html/system/lib-pingback.php on line 52

Fatal error: pnb_getpingbackurl(): Failed opening required 'HTTP/Request.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/ortonet/public_html/system/lib-pingback.php on line 52

You need the PEAR HTTP_Request package, which comes with Geeklog. Check your PEAR settings in config.php and also see Geeklog and PEAR.
