Greetings community,

I have an old Geeklog install that I was asked to move to another server, and the process was pretty painless in setting it all up, now I am getting one error when trying to access the site.

==
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/var/www/site.co.za/config.php' (include_path='.:/usr/share/php:/usr/share/pear'Wink in /var/www/clients/client1/web4/web/lib-common.php on line 93
==

I read numerous articles on the site where Dirk suggested checking permissions, I looked at that and set everything to 775, I know my paths are correct in config.php, so I am wondering if this is something small I am overlooking. All directories have the correct permissions as per the install doc.

My setup :

Server : Ubuntu 9.10
Geeklog Version : 1.5 (I know its old, part of the move is to get the new server, install new Geeklog etc and upgrade everything, so it is in the pipeline to upgrade later)
PHP5 on server

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated, I have been trying to resolve this issue for over four hours now and my mind is turning to jello.

Thank you for your responses.

Something doesn't add up here. Geeklog 1.5.0 was the first Geeklog version that did not use config.php any more.

Also note that the problem is not in config.php but it's lib-common.php is complaining that it can't find config.php (but, if this is really Geeklog 1.5, it shouldn't be looking for that file anyway).

So which Geeklog version are you really on?

bye, Dirk

Hi Dirk,

My bad...it`s 1.4

As stated the paths in config.php are filled in correctly, which is why I am lost as to what the issue could be.

And as stated, I think you may be looking in the wrong place: Check that the path that is used in lib-common.php to find your config.php is correct.

bye, Dirk

/var/www/ukrease.co.za/web

root@nazgul:/var/www/ukrease.co.za/web# cat lib-common.php | grep ukrease
require_once('/var/www/ukrease.co.za/config.php'Wink;

Other setting from config.php :
$_CONF['path'] = '/var/www/ukrease.co.za/'; // should end in a slash
$_CONF['path_html'] = '/var/www/ukrease.co.za/web/';

Any ideas why this is not working ?

Thanks
Chris

I wonder where this is coming from "/var/www/clients/client1/web4/web/". What is the webspace`s administrative interface?

I think Markus may be on to something there. Can you try replacing

/var/www/ukrease.co.za

with the

/var/www/clients/client1/web4

from the original error message? There may be some path mapping / linking / virtualization going on there.

bye, Dirk

In /var/www, ukrease.co.za was a symlink pointing to /var/www/clients/client1/web4/, I placed the full path instead of the symlink and it`s now working...

THANK YOU !!! Smile
