Continual Installation Failures

morgandy · June 13th, 2006, 10:43 PM

I've been trying off and on for 3 days now to get PP installed. Tonight I thought I had everything well set again after password and db issues. At step 4, configuring Photopost, I get the following (replaced my real db with 'dbname':

Warning: fopen(/home/dbname/public_html/photopost/data/500/thumbs/index.htm): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/dbname/public_html/photopost/install.php on line 1208

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/dbname/public_html/photopost/install.php on line 1209

Warning: fopen(/home/csea/public_html/photopost/data/500/medium/index.htm): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/dbname/public_html/photopost/install.php on line 1214

I have over and over set permissions in the /data directories and files, as well as the install.php file.

Also, for the database host field for both Photopost and Vbulletin, I have it set to 'localhost', but have specified the two different database names (1 for PP, one for VB). The passwords are correct, I am logged in as an admin with all permissions. My VB license number is plugged in correctly. And this is the path that is set /home/dbname/public_html/photopost

This is crazy, where am I going wrong?

Hello the chmod permissions on the uploads and data directories have to be on those directories themselves and all the directories at every level under them. Your errors suggest you have not set the sublevels to 777

Hi Chuck,

I have done that over and over and over on the directories/subdirectories and files. Are you willing to look over my stuff if I PM it to you? I really am baffled and frustrated, I know it shouldn't be this hard!!

thx..Amy.

Well if your truly setting the permissions at every level then it should work.

anotherwards your setting permissions on every level

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

Just an observation though your databaname? The error above is a path and there should be no need to replace anything. Your photopost path in your config-inc.php file should read

/home/csea/public_html/photopost

If your path is correct and you have changed permissions then I would suggest you contact your host about these permissions not holding. There would not be anything I could do about this.
