Install Problem

[ejectorset]

I am trying to install photopost intergrated into with a phpbb install. I gave photopost its own mysql database for the photos and set it to use the phpbb database for users.
Anyways, everything with the install went fine and once I deleted the setup file and went to the adm-index.php page I get the follow errors at the top of the frame on the right.

Warning: opendir(/path/to/your/photopost/data): failed to open dir: No such file or directory in /home/costar/public_html/photopost5/adm-main.php on line 19

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /home/costar/public_html/photopost5/adm-main.php on line 21

Warning: closedir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /home/costar/public_html/photopost5/adm-main.php on line 29

I have looked everywhere in the config-inc and config-int and all the other inc files to see where it failed to set the dir value correctly, but I can not find it.

Line 19 on the adm-main.php declares $dh = opendir($dir);
so somewhere a variable named dir has the default path instead of my real server path, but I can not find that inital varible definition anywhere.

This also keeps me from uploading as it uploads to /path/to/your/photopost/data, etc and then tries to copy it into the correct folder, but of course, it can not upload to that path.

I think if I could find that one varible and modify it, that would get me working. Any ideas where it is hiding?

Hello..

Somehow the default value has been left in the uploads url/path, i.e "/path/to/your/photopost/data" - you must alter this to "/home/costar/public_html/photopost5/data" via phpmyadmin and the settings table if you have such access, if not try the install again using the correct paths

cheers

I changed this in the global options screen in the admin area.

Is this good enough? Or do I still need to change it in the database tables manually.

Could it be related to my other thread?

It is the global options data directory not uploads.

Your global options data dir path should be set as such


/home/costar/public_html/photopost5/data/
