Hopefuly

There are two files where you're supposed to specify the path to config.php:

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


2. lib-common.php
Text Formatted Code
* Make sure to include the name of the config file,
* i.e. the path should end in .../config.php
*/
require_once( '/path/to/geeklog/config.php' );
 


You cannot leave it as is.

The key line to your error message is:


Warning: require_once() [function.require-once]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/path/to/geeklog/system/databases/mysql.class.php) is not within the allowed path(s):


You (or your hosting provider) is running PHP with open_basedir restriction. This basically limits what directories a PHP script can open files. Here is the blurb from php.net about it...


Limit the files that can be opened by PHP to the specified directory-tree, including the file itself. This directive is NOT affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off.

When a script tries to open a file with, for example, fopen() or gzopen(), the location of the file is checked. When the file is outside the specified directory-tree, PHP will refuse to open it. All symbolic links are resolved, so it's not possible to avoid this restriction with a symlink.


You will need to contact your hosting provider and ask them to include your Geeklog directories in the list, or to turn off the restriction for you site.

Hope this helps!
