ERRORS!

Please help...

EDIT almost at the same time I sent this I fixed the problem. The permissions for config-inc.php and config-int.php were set to 644 (as it suggests in the instructions). Set these to 777 and everything worked.

Still having problems. At least I can get the administration module to launch. When I click on any of the menu items (for example "All Options", "Global Options", etc) it prompts me for logon and password. After I enter these, I encounter these errors:

Warning: main(./global.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/43/d182725797/htdocs/forums/photopost/header-inc.php on line 65

You need to on last step of install input the proper server path to vbulletin.

You can correct your path that was entered incorrectly by editing your config-int.php and change the $vbpath line to the true forum server path to vbulletin.

Alright, this is getting frustrating (gotta love the incredibly POOR installation documentation)

On STEP 5 of installation, the first option is "Server Path to Forum Directory". WHICH forum directory? I am ASSUMING this means my vBulletin forum directory. However when I select this, I don't receive any errors, but I can't seem to access any options.

When I select the default "PhotoPost" forums directory, I enter the PhotoPost admin panel and when I try to access any of the options menus I receive these errors:

Warning: main(./global.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/43/d182725797/htdocs/forums/photopost/header-inc.php on line 65

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /homepages/43/d182725797/htdocs/forums/photopost/header-inc.php on line 65

It is looking for global.php - which is located in my root vBulletin forum directory. What gives?

Ok... maybe I am just not seeing this properly.

I enter the proper path to my vBulletin forum, but then EVERY option that I chose in the photopost admin panel prompts me for my login and password. When I enter this correctly, I see the default home page of my photopost forum... and no photopost options. Every menu item I click on in the "edit settings" part of the admin panel takes me to exactly the same place, and I can't manage any photopost options...

Aiyeee! This product and installation can use some dusting off.

Ok I fixed the problem by IGNORING the installation instructions. Do NOT click on the link provided by the installation script. Rather, exit the installation completely (close the browser window), and then open a new window and redirect your browser to the home page of the photopost gallery. Log in with your admin login, and THEN the options will pop up.

Ugh!

No on last step of install as long as you enter the proper vbulletin server path on step 5 you will be fine.
