(the actual error may be in the line preceding the one mentioned in the error message)

Make that "lines" (plural). A missing semicolon or single quote can sometimes cause an error quite a few lines later.

bye, Dirk

Yeah, I didn't put semi-colons on my lines.

$_CONF['path'] = '/home/users/uks59246/html/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = '/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/';
$_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://www.idhsgb.com/web';

That seems to have sorted it........BUT - I ran check.php (before trying to install) and got the following error :-

An error has occurred:
2 - main(system/classes/timer.class.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory @ /home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/lib-common.php line 182

Do you need to see output of check.php? If so, can I PM or email them to you ??

Thanks :doh:

Line 182, that looks like there is another problem with $_CONF['path_system']

Is the public_html stuff here?
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/

The geeklog system stuff is here?
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/

like
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/system/

What is this line 93 like in lib-common.php?
require_once( '/path/to/geeklog/config.php' );

Your sense of humor is good. I think it should be added in the installation instructions as one of the requirements

O.k. your geeklog system stuff should indeed be here but there are subdirectories!
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/

This is necessary (with correct permissions):
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/backups/
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/data/
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/language/
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/logs/
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/plugins/
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/sql/
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/system/

and of course you got this one:
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/

Let's see if we can make this simple.

Based on what you told us above, we know where your public_html files are located and where your system files are located (your Geeklog config.php should be in that system directory). So, make sure the following settings are correct:

config.php

Text Formatted Code

$_CONF['path']            = '/home/users/uks59246/html/system/'; // should end in a slash

$_CONF['path_html']      = '/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/';

lib-common.php

Text Formatted Code

require_once( '/home/users/uks59246/html/system/config.php' );

Make these changes and let's see what happens next. Usual rules apply, if you get another error, post as much info as you can about the error if possible.

Good luck!
Mark

Hi again, definitely agree that a sense of humour is needed - the help provided is keeping the sanity intact !!!

My 'idhsgb.com' is the 'public_html' folder, so my setup is: -

/home/users/uks59246/html/
/home/users/uks59246/html/backups/ (cmod 775)
/home/users/uks59246/html//data/ (cmod 775)
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/ (cmod 745)
/home/users/uks59246/html/language/ (cmod 644)
/home/users/uks59246/html//logs/ (cmod 775)
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/plugins/ (cmod 745)
/home/users/uks59246/html/sql/ (cmod 745)
/home/users/uks59246/html/system/ (cmod 745)
config.php
emailgeeklogstories
INSTALL
readme

Under /home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/ -
is all the public_html stuff, including:-
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/backend (cmod 775)
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/images/articles (cmod 775)
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/images/topics (cmod 775)
/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/images/userphotos (cmod 775)

config.php is in root (html), but not in system folder - all paths I can find sem to point to where it is ????
I can post check.php if you guys want me to, but will obviously have to edit out some info that I'd prefer the world didn't see - although as I said in previous one, I'm happy to PM/email the complete log.

:doh: :doh:

Which is the top folder that can be accessed by a browser? /home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com or higher?

I had one case where geeklog could not access the upper folder. I tested this by installing all the stuff in the web root, that would be /home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com or as you chose /home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web

Highest folder that browser can access is /home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com - which is why I installed stuff outside public_html to the one above (/home/users/uks59246/html/) ?? Is this correct, or have I misread install instructions ???

I would have thought tht geeklog is accessing the stuff in /home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com
- as the install routine will start??

:doh: :doh: :banghead: :banghead:

Gawwwd, I hope Geeklog 2 contains an easy installation.
I've installed at least 5 other cms without any of these problems - but didn't like using any of them by comparison !!!)

/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/images/userphotos (cmod 775)

Okay. Don't move anything. Start with a fresh config.php right where you have it in /home/users/uks59246/html. Make your database changes. Then change these 3 variables:

Text Formatted Code
$_CONF['path'] = '/home/users/uks59246/html/';

$_CONF['path_html'] = '/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/';

$_CONF['site_url'] = 'http://www.idhsgb.com/web';

And finally modify /home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/lib-common.php so that the line that says

require_once( '/path/to/geeklog/config.php' );

now says

require_once( '/home/users/uks59246/html/config.php' );

Make no other changes.

Good luck.

OK. Did as you said with a 'clean' config.php, and checked that lib-common.php was correct. I didn't attempt to install, but ran check.php - and got this -

Template Error: set_root: /home/users/uks59246/html//home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/layout/professional is not a directory.
Halted.

While comparing 'old' and 'clean' config.php's I think I found the error -
$_CONF['path'] = '/home/users/uks59246/html/'; was commented out

so after getting the above error, I corrected this, and tried check.php again.

SAME ERROR !!!!! :doh: :doh: :doh:

Looks like it's closer to getting there - but like before, NOT gonna touch it till I hear back again. Your patience with me is appreciated :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Are you sure that line 74 $_CONF['path_html'] looks like this only:

$_CONF['path_html'] = '/home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/';

Hey, we're gonna have to stop meeting like this..........people will start talking !!!

OK, dunno about you, this is starting to do my head in !!!
:banghead: :speechless:
I checked - line 74 $_CONF['path_html'] - and sure enough I had a stop ( '.' ) before what I should have, so removed it, re-uploaded and ran install - and got -

'An SQL error has occurred. Please see error.log for details'

At the top of the error log is this -
An error has occurred:
2 - main() [function.main]: Unable to access /home/users/uks59246/html/language/english.php @ /home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/lib-common.php line 388

As I've said before, your help is GREATLY appreciated, but (because of my lack of php knowledge) we (mainly me !!!) seem to be groping around in the dark. I appreciate that I'm taking up a lot of your time here - so I'm willing to pay you to install this, and sort it, for me - if you're interested, then I'll PM you.

What's at the bottom of the log? The log fills top down. So the most recent errors are at the end.

'An SQL error has occurred. Please see error.log for details'

"Error.log" is a file in your logs directory. That is what I thought you meant.

At the top of the error log is this -
An error has occurred:
2 - main() [function.main]: Unable to access /home/users/uks59246/html/language/english.php @ /home/users/uks59246/html/idhsgb.com/web/lib-common.php line 388

This is an error message that you called a log, confusing me.

In any case, reading the error message again, is there are readable file named english.php in that path?

The file error.log should be here: /home/users/uks59246/html//logs/

or rather here: /home/users/uks59246/html/logs/ (one "/" less)

Think it's getting there - I found my language folder was locked ???? cmodded it to 776, and 'check.php' ran.
All the ones that failed have a double // after web...........then repeat the whole path except for the web folder (where they all are).........doesn't mean a thing to me, but imagine it makes sense to you guys ?????
And once again, I aint gonna mess with it
