Virtual Server

[hob]

I get an error trying to install:

We're sorry, but we encountered an error during the installation process...

Unable to create/write to D:\Inetpub\vhosts ysite.co.uk\httpdocs\Photo Post/data! Check your data directory permissions before continuing.

When you have fixed your permissions Refresh this page to try again.

If you have corrected the error, you may hit GO BACK and try again.

where it misses the \m after \vhosts\mysite.co.uk\httpdocs\Photo

Is it a display error/ actual error ?

[hob]

now replaced \ for / and get errors:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in D:\Inetpub\vhosts\mysite.co.uk\httpdocs\Photo Post\forums\vb3.php on line 25


Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in D:\Inetpub\vhosts\themgzr.co.uk\httpdocs\Photo Post\forums\vb3.php on line 54

Okay first response yes use forward slashes in paths.

Second on install it appears you did not input the proper mysql table prefix for vbulletin on step 4

You can rerun install or view the photopost settings table in say phpmyadmin and change setting 83 to the proper table prefix.

Yep done that, now get:

(no errors during install)


Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in D:\Inetpub\vhosts\mysite.co.uk\httpdocs\photo post\header-inc.php on line 60

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in D:\Inetpub\vhosts\mysite.co.uk\httpdocs\photo post\header-inc.php on line 61

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.;./includes;./pear') in D:\Inetpub\vhosts\mysite.co.uk\httpdocs\photo post\header-inc.php on line 61


Is this a permissions case?

[Chuck S]

Nope on the last step of install you must input the proper server path to your vbulletin forum.

In config-int.php edit the file and change $vbpath entry to the proper server path to your vbulletin forum

argh get this during install:


Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in D:\Inetpub\vhosts\mysite.co.uk\httpdocs\photo\forums\vb3.php on line 460

Re rerunning install.php now that you know the 2 mistakes made.

Basically because you did not enter the proper vb3 mysql table prefix we could not import the usergroups.

Rerunning install and answering everything correctly should resolve any issue.

How would I know what the correct prefix is? in phpMyAdmin there appears to be no prefix not like vb_ anyway?

[Chuck S]

Well you solved your issue I am assuming since you stopped getting that error and moved on to a new error.

If the prefix is right the your database info for vb is incorrect in the initial config for user database. At any rate you need to run install.php and specify the correct info on install.
