Installation problems photopost php pro vb3.6.0

[Sky Pilot]

Hi, I am going mad here. I've finally got to step 4 and when it went to configure the program I got this error.

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

Unable to create/write to /home/carandimage/public_html/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.

This would be fine except that I and my host have checked each and every directory and subdirectory and they are all set at CHMOD 777

Any suggestions before I go completely insane would be most welcome.

[Chuck S]

Are you sure your path is right

/home/carandimage/public_html/photopost/data

Basically that error is very specific and either means your path is wrong or your permissions are wrong. There can be nothing else wrong. So double check your path here to ensure its right and make sure that the data directory at EVERY LEVEL IS 777

That means this every last directory.

Problem was the path. You were right.

OK, got one step further. I got to the logon for Photopost and was not sure what to type in as user and password, but used the ones from the config. I got this coming up.

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/carandim/public_html/photopost/header-inc.php on line 64

Warning: require(./global.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/carandim/public_html/photopost/header-inc.php on line 65

What is happening now?

Oh, three other error messages. The first 2 came up above the photpost logon and password boxes and were:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/path/to/php/headtags.htm) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/carandim:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/carandim/public_html/photopost/pp-inc.php on line 492

The 3rd one was under the logon boxes and was:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/path/to/php/footer.htm) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/carandim:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/carandim/public_html/photopost/pp-inc.php on line 632

There is obviously something seriously wrong.

[Chuck S]

Yes on the last step of install your vbulletin server path was entered incorrectly.

If you enter the right server path for vb in the $vbpath line in the config-int.php file that should solve your global issue.

Next the other errors are easy. Sign in as admin and under global options you can remove the bogus paths to header footer and headtags htm.

[Sky Pilot]

$vbpath = "/home/carandim/public_html/forums";
$pppath = "/home/carandim/public_html/photopost";


Are the two paths from that file and I can be pretty sure they are correct.

[Chuck S]

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/carandim/public_html/photopost/header-inc.php on line 65

that error is pretty specific and says the path is wrong since we are not finding global.php in that directory.

[Sky Pilot]

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/carandim/public_html/photopost/header-inc.php on line 65

My host has verified that the /home/carandim/public_html/photopost does in fact exist on my site.

Where to now?

[Chuck S]

You need to make sure your server path to the forum is correct in the config-int.php file.

[Sky Pilot]

The path to forums is correct.

I can't find a file called globals.php. Should there be one?

[Chuck S]

global.php definately exists in vbulletin and if the server path to the forum is correct you should not get that error in config-int.php

[Sky Pilot]

I have finally made it to the admin-index.php. I am still getting these errors. When trying to go to the user index. or run the index.php
index.php in my browser. The galleries are not showing on the forums either.

Warning: chdir() [function.chdir]: No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/carandim/public_html/photopost/header-inc.php on line 64

Warning: require(./global.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/carandim/public_html/photopost/header-inc.php on line 65

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/carandim/public_html/photopost/header-inc.php on line 65

What do I need to do?

[Chuck S]

In your config-int.php file the server path must be correct to your vbulletin install.

$vbpath = "/home/carandim/public_html/forums";

[Sky Pilot]

OK, I had a trailing backslash on that one and now when I go to index.php, I get

All times are GMT +10. The time now is 12:19 AM.

Arrrghhh, I am getting very frustrated with this.

[Chuck S]

Did you upload all your files as required by the install?

This is telling me all your templates are not uploaded. Try reuploading your files except the config files

[Sky Pilot]

OK, I reloaded all the templates and most other files, except the config ones - The templates seemed to be there from the first upload however. Went to the Adm-Index.php and got in there OK, then clicked on Back to User Index and this time it opened with an error at the top saying

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/path/to/php/headtags.htm) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/carandim/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/carandim/public_html/photopost/pp-inc.php on line 492
Car and Image Forums

I can however see the vBulletin gallery forums in that.

When I log onto my forum software, there is no indication that these galleries are there.

Can the bit about :/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp be causing the problem because the pp-inc.php file is sitting there in the path it cant find it in?

[Sky Pilot]

That error has now gone away - I had left the path/to/header and footer settings on their default. Realised this, now I can get into the galleries without and error message, but they still don't show up on my vBulletin forums at all?

[Chuck S]

You need to login as admin and you can clear the bogus paths for header footer and headtags in global options in photopost admin

what do you mean is not on your forums? You would place a link to the gallery in your forum navbar template

I'm assuming I've got instructions to do that somewhere?

Something else just happened. I was playing with the adm-index and all of a sudden, trying to get into it just puts me into the galleries program - no access to admin. I cleared all my cookies and tried again, but no luck.

I think I might have put a / in the domain path instead of leaving it empty - could that keep me out of adm-index? It is OK, I managed to edit it out via MyphpAdmin and I can get back in again.

So, it is only the link to the galleries on the vBNavbar that I am looking for now?

[Chuck S]

Yes you simply place a link in your vb navbar template to your gallery. vbulletin definately has support docs on how to edit there forums templates yes and you can find them at vbulletin.com

[Sky Pilot]

OK, I have it under quick links on the navbar. That is where it ended up when I added it into the template. I am sure it could be made a single always visible link though, how to not sure. Now, I can reach it and I can get into admin. I uploaded some photos and it appeared to work, but just as the photo was finished uploading this appeared.

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/usr/bin/jpegtran) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/carandim/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/carandim/public_html/photopost/image-inc.php on line 560

BTW, I can confirm the presence of the file image-inc.php in the photopost directory.

What is this telling me?
