Help with errors.

[flowrider]

I'm lost. Frustrated to say the least. I just can't seem to get a handle on this.

I've got a forum www.dinkybike.com (mini road racing bikes) and have just purchased Photopost pro. I'm trying to set it up using the same database but with little luck. I'm using GD2 if that makes a diffrence as well. I keep getting the following errors and have no idea why (this is just a portion).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I've included a screen shot of my config-inc.php settings as well with the passwords erased.

Ok so I tried installing with a different database as well and got nearly the sam results. Here is an example of the errors I was getting and a screen shot of the new config settings.

Well I think the best thing to do here would be to link our installation instructions

http://www.photopost.com/installphp.html

Per the install instructions you need to set permissions on the data directory and all its children at every level to 777

If you do this then you will not get this error

Okay Thanks Chuck!!!

It worked and installed. I guess I was punchy last night! My problem now is that when I try to log on it tells me that I have an invalid login!

Suggestions again?

Thanks for the help
Steve

[Chuck S]

Steve okay if it tells you invalid login I would suggest one of two things.

In config-inc.php file make sure the $vblicense variable is holding the correct vb3 license number not customer number. Also check the mysql settings table of Photopost and make sure you entered the correct cookie prefix for variable 172. It is by default bb but you can check to see the correct cookie prefix and license in your vb3 config.php file in the includes directory of vb3

The password is encrypted with the vb3 cookie prefix and license number in vb3 so it is important this is correct for login to work.

[flowrider]

Thanks Chuck.
I'm getting better at this. I've uploaded/deleted/uploaded/deleted so many times!

The vB licence # does it include the vb? Such as VB#######?

[flowrider]

I just read the instructions and answered my question. I'm an idiot. sorry

[Chuck S]

No problem

[flowrider]

Sorry Chuck,
I've verified that the licence number is correct and is only digits, no letters.

So that leaves me with finding this
mysql settings table of Photopost and make sure you entered the correct cookie prefix for variable 172.
I'm sorry but where the heck do I find this? I'm starting to think I should have paid for an install but then I wouldn't have learned anything!

[flowrider]

got it!! Woooo

[Chuck S]

Nice
