I'm still getting the error:

Template Error: set_root: /home/content/w/h/e/wheels/html/site2/layout/professional is not a directory.
Halted.

I'm not sure I'm doing this correctly. I'll post what I did.

in config:

// This should point to the directory where your config.php file resides.
$_CONF['path'] = '/home/content/w/h/e/wheels/html/site2/'; // should end in a

slash

// You only need to change this if you moved or renamed the public_html
// directory. In that case, you should specify the complete path to the
// directory (i.e. without the $_CONF['path']) like this:
// $_CONF['path_html'] = '/home/content/w/h/e/wheels/html/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . '';


in libcommon:

* Make sure to include the name of the config file,
* i.e. the path should end in .../config.php
*/
require_once( '/home/content/w/h/e/wheels/html/site2/config.php' );

The bold bits don't match. Is that the problem?

No. Sorry, I edited the paste to hide actual info. I fixed the paste in my post but still need help.

Quote by wheelsofterror: // $_CONF['path_html'] = '/home/content/w/h/e/wheels/html/';
$_CONF['path_html'] = $_CONF['path'] . '';

Note that the first of these two lines is commented out, so it's using the second line. And the second line is identical to saying that 'path' and 'path_html' are the same, which should never be the case.

So, uncomment the first line (assuming it has the correct path) and remove the second.

bye, Dirk

still no go..probably wrong spot again?

// Some hosting services have a preconfigured admin directory. In that case,
// you need to rename Geeklog's admin directory to something like "myadmin"
// and change the following URL as well. Leave as is until you experience any
// problems accessing Geeklog's admin menu.
$_CONF['site_admin_url'] = '/home/content/w/h/e/wheelsot/html/';

That's a path, not a URL. And unless you changes the name of the "admin" directory, you don't even need to touch that variable and leave it at

$_CONF['site_admin_url'] = $_CONF['site_url'] . '/admin';

you pointed me to the faq which said:

The images don't load
If the installation script went through successfully but the site then comes up without the images (i.e. you see the browser's "broken image" icon instead of Geeklog's images) then the URL for your site is not correct.

Make sure you changed $_CONF['site_url'] such that it points to the directory where Geeklog's index.php (and lib-common.php) file resides.




I have admin in the root dir...so what should I try now?

I tried http://www.wheelsofterror.com too.

Actually, looking at your site, the paths for the images are correct. It appears the images were corrupted. You had some upload problems earlier - seems like the images were also affected.

For example, http://www.wheelsofterror.com/layout/professional/images/logo.png gives me a "The image “...” cannot be displayed, because it contains errors." message in Firefox. So the path is correct (or you have gotten a 404), but the image is defective.
