problem with new installation

W@NKER · January 14th, 2005, 08:19 PM

Hi I'm trying to make a new installation of photopost 4.8.6 with an integration with my newly reinstalled vb3

right after step 4 I get this error

Warning: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /hotel/sushi-inc_dk/WWW/photopost/install.php on line 722

Warning: MySQL Connection Failed: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (2) in /hotel/sushi-inc_dk/WWW/photopost/install.php on line 722
I cannot connect to the Users database.

Would appreciate if anyone could give me some help

Thanks in advance

You have not entered the correct mysql information to connect to the users database

my users database is the same as my vb database?
I can see that photopost has written some table into my vb database, but it fails at step 4

thanks again

Hello,

I just check your install file and you didn't fill the user database mysql info.

If you are using the same db for both applications, just put the same settings twice.

Best regards,

No problema

Still having an issue, check your $vbpath path in your config-int.php as well.

Hi again

Yeah I have some trouble with login

Fatal error: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/apache/lib/php') in /hotel/sushi-inc_dk/WWW/photopost/header-inc.php on line 19

Not sure where to look

Interdit · January 15th, 2005, 05:07 AM

Line 15 in config-int.php

put: /hotel/sushi-inc_dk/WWW/forums

I still have some trouble in my forums, but its getting there

I get this error:
Warning: Failed opening './photopost/inc_photopost.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/apache/lib/php') in /index.php on line 59

maybe it has something to do with, that I havent put this info in?

Hi back,

A summary for other people:

Customer id entered instead of license of vb3;
No cookie prefix set in setting table 171;
Wrong path in config-int.php and inc_photopost.php;
...

Enjoy

Yes it is nice when Francois helps out when he can.

Him being across the seas he is on a different timezone and thus when I wake like today to see a couple threads I do not need to respond to since they are resolved.

Yes, when i can. Just to let you have a lighter weekend, Omegatron

A pleasure to help the pp community.

Hi again

I have a little problem with cookies I think
when Im logged in on my vbforum, im not logged into photopost, and when I log in there, Im not logged into vbforums.

How do I fix that?

Thanks again

If your using Photopost 4.8.6 and have VB3 integration set to On then it would grab your cookie settings from VB3 if you have things set up.

Your running 4.8 which is why it is not set up right which means you have not set cookies right.

I would if I where you upgrade since 4.8.6 is a security fix also

If you do not want to upgrade your cookie settings are this

cookie domain blank

cookie prefix bb

cookie path /

Then also enter your correct VB License in the config where it tells you to
