PhotoPost Community - View Single Post - Another vBGallery thread path problem (vB4 PL3)

Well, I've been at it 3 days, eyes red and frustrated to no end. I'm not a forum guru but enough to be dangerous I suppose.

The instructions call for typing in the file path for my forum and the example seems to be for Word Press or PhotoPost Pro instead of vBGallery because the examples are always /home/public.html/etc which is unlike anything I have.

When I check out PHPinfo from my vB4 admin panel, I get this:

ORIG_PATH_TRANSLATED:
/kunden/homepages/21/d123456789/htdocs/vB/admincp/index.php

I then surmise that the path to my forum is:
/kunden/homepages/21/d123456789/htdocs/vB/forum.php
since my forum.php in in the root of my vb install, not in a separate "forum" folder.

*I changed my database name to d123456789 for this post.

So, of course that doesn't work so I'm at my wits end. What the heck is my forum path and do I have to uninstall vBGallery and then reinstall it again if I change the gallery_config.php file each time?

I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled, changed paths, everything and still nothing. No Gallery button on the navbar even.

I'm just frustrated because I know enough to install and maintain vB but apparently not enough to install this. I got PhotoPost Visal Classifieds at the same time but the prospect of another week of screwing around until 4a.m. and then getting up an hour later for work is enough to make me depressed.
