PP_PATH thinks \t is a tab character

[flumpydog]

I was just doing a clean install of PhotoPost Pro 5.02 and modified config.inc.php with the internal path on a IIS server with the following:
$PP_PATH = "E:\InetPub\tobeme\sites\domain\photos";

When completing the final step in install.php, it complained stating it could not find my datadir and it was not writeable. It listed the path as:
"E:\InetPub obeme\sites\domain\photos\data"
** Note how there is now a space after "InetPub"

(there was a forward slash in the path that was outputted as the error, just cannot recall if it was before "data" or after it. Not sure if this will cause a problem later)

Anyhoo, it was assuming "\t" was a tab. I had to enter the path as"
$PP_PATH = "E:\InetPub\\tobeme\sites\domain\photos";
This resolved the problem.

Now I am running into the problem with adm-index.php, it is giving me warnings:
"Warning: opendir(E:InetPub obemesitesdomainphotos/data/) [function.opendir]: failed to open dir: Invalid argument in E:\InetPub\tobeme\sites\domain\photosadm-main.php on line 19

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in E:\InetPub\tobeme\sites\domain\photosadm-main.php on line 21

Warning: closedir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in E:\InetPub\tobeme\sites\domain\photosadm-main.php on line 29

Sounds to me specific to your php server setup as I have never heard of a character being replaced

However your PP_Path should be this in a normal install this is what I would set it as alot of times backslashes can be autoremoved upon translation on some windows setups whereas forwardslashes will not

$PP_PATH = "E:/InetPub/tobeme/sites/domain/photos";

Hi,

I just added more to my original post, you were too quick to reply

The config.inc.php file does appear to be taking the internal path we have literally and assuming "\t" is a tab.

Now just trying to sort out the adm-main.php having what appears to be the same problem.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Best Wishes,
Chuck

I just went into the admin area and under "Edit Settings > Global Options", modified the paths and things seem ok with this part of it now.

I now have a new problem of a different nature, creating a new post for this puppy ;-)

Thanks,
