Step 3 Install Problem

[warc1]

I am doing a brand new install of Photopost with integration to VB3. I get to step 3 when I encounter the following errors:


Warning: main(pp-inc.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /audio-heritage/WWW/photopost/install.php on line 870

Warning: main(): Failed opening 'pp-inc.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /audio-heritage/WWW/photopost/install.php on line 870

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: init_user_groups() in /audio-heritage/WWW/photopost/install.php on line 873

From doing searches of this forum, I assume that this is a directory definition problem in config-inc.php, but damned if I can find it. Any help appreciated.

Your install file can not find this file

include "pp-inc.php";


Did you upload it? You should not have to include a path before it since it is in the same directory as install.php

Make sure it is there and if you still have the problem you can alter that line like this

include "/audio-heritage/WWW/photopostpp-inc.php";

although on all the installs I have done I have never had to do that.

Thanks Omegatron

There were indeed missing files from the upload. I went back and uploaded all of the installation files and managed to get through all of the steps of the installation and VB3 integration. However, when I try to log in to the control panel, I get these errors:

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /audio-heritage/WWW/photopost/header-inc.php on line 18

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /audio-heritage/WWW/photopost/header-inc.php on line 19

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /audio-heritage/WWW/photopost/header-inc.php on line 19

The above error would appear to be related to the inclusion of VB3 headers. I disabled that option and the errors go away and I can log in. However, when I log in using my VB3 admin account in Photopost, I appear to be logged in as just a regular user. I can see no admin options to configure Photopost. How do I access these?

You can correct your path statements in the config-int.php file to point correctly to the forum and photopost.

It seems to me with the errors you state you have not entered the correct cookie prefix and vb license number and or correct paths to gallery/forums

The quick way would be to replace install.php up there and rerun going through all options to make sure they are correct.

You have no admin as when you did not have pp-inc.php your usergroups table did not get created thus you need to go through install again.

You will get some duplicate errors mysql but no worries there. Make sure to correctly input the vb license number and where it asks for cookie prefix but bb which is the default prefix

Thanks Omegatron

That seems to have solved the install problems. On to the setup

[warc1]

Well, I spoke too soon. I did some initial configuration work, went on to something else, and now I can't log back in with admin status. The login just takes me to index.php. I've tried reinstalling with no change in results.

Help!

again cookies. Your most likely did not set your cookie prefix to bb

[warc1]

I have reinstalled another three times, beyond the three or four previous installs. I always make sure that the cookie prefix is set to "bb", however this dialog box always comes up blank. Is this setting stored in one of the config files? It doesn't show up in "config-int.php" that I can see. I've tried erasing all cookies prior to installing and this also had no effect.

Put the url to your forum here and that of the gallery

[warc1]

http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin

http://audioheritage.org/photopost

[Chuck S]

Simple you dont have them installed on the same domain

The forum is really here

http://www.audioheritage.org/vbulletin

you installed Photopost here

http://audioheritage.org/photopost/

Note its not installed on the www subdomain

[warc1]

Thanks

How do I fix that? Is it as simple as ensuring that the config files refer to the proper domains or do I have to completely reinstall?

[Chuck S]

well reinstall and make sure the urls all have www in them. If you install using the www domain it should fix it or you would need to login admin and change the urls manually or phpmyadmin settings table same thing manually.

[warc1]

I reinstalled everything all domains set to include www and this now works fine. Thank you for your patience in getting me through this. I have one question left. After creating a bunch of new catagories, the index page now has an extra blank column to the left of each category and sub. Is this meant for anything or can it be gotten rid of somehow?
