Installation Error Step 4

[Outie]

Trying to install and I get this after clicking next on step 4:

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

Unable to create/write to /photopost/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.

Any hints. I checked over the folders and they are CHMOD right?

Thanks
Chris

ok got past that now I am stuck here:

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /homepages/23/d144605675/htdocs/photopost/header-inc.php on line 60

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/23/d144605675/htdocs/photopost/header-inc.php on line 61

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /homepages/23/d144605675/htdocs/photopost/header-inc.php on line 61

and I looked into the directory structure and its there so dunno what to do now

BTW got this error on top of step 5:

Warning: mysql_fetch_row(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /homepages/23/d144605675/htdocs/photopost/forums/vb3.php on line 444

well lets take this one error at a time

your 2nd post you have input an incorrect server path to your vbulletin installation hense we can not find the vb global.php file

your 3rd post you did not enter the correct vbulletin table prefix so when you did the last step on install to get the vb usergroups it could not do it

I would suggest rerunning install and on the last 2 steps make sure you enter the proper vbulletin table prefix for mysql and also on last step enter the right vbulletin server path info

Thanks Chuck got it to load.. now the only prob is in my forum part I dont have a link to the gallery part... Is it supposed to do this automaticly and if not have a script i can use to get it to. THanks

Nope we do not alter anykind of forum information.

Depending on what you are integrating with you would alter your header or navigation bar and simply add a link to the gallery

[Outie]

I would be altering the header in VB3 any help with that thanks

Chris

[Chuck S]

I dont really follow what your trying to ask. If your altering the vb header you would do so in vb styles admin

[I, Brian]

If vb 3.x:

- Admin > Styles & Templates >
- click on "<< >>"
- In the templates section, click on "Navigation & Breadcrumb templates"
- The page should refresh and show two files now under that heading - click on "navbar"
- Edit the HTML to add the code for a gallery link, ie:

Find:

$vbphrase[members_list]</a></td>

Add after:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="http://www.YOUR-DOMAIN.com/PHOTOPOST/">Photopost</a></td>

where domain.com is your domain, and photopost is your install folder for photopost.

See if that helps.
