Header-inc.php page is blank

mrsquid · February 13th, 2007, 08:08 PM

I just finished up reinstalling Photopost after a catastrophic crash on my site, and when I go to set up the vBulletin integration and run the header-inc.php page, that page is completely blank. No error, no message, nothing.

If I turn OFF vB integration in the options menu, then I get this... (I swapped my site name with the _____)

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

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

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

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

Any thoughts?

OK - from digging around in here I know that my server path is wrong - but the problem is I don't know what a correct server path should look like.

I saw an example of
$vbpath = "/home/******/www/websitename/forumname";
...but that didn't work.

In the example above, what's the *****? The URL? If so, what's the difference between the URL, the websitename and the forumname? My forum is in the root of my public_html folder. (the site is JUST a private vBulletin forum) My Photopost folder is at public_html/Photopost. What would my server path look like if (for example) my site was Yahoo.com?

OK... update - I changed my server path to /home/*****/public_html/ and /home/*****/public_html/Photopost/

Now regardless of whether my vB integration is set to on or off, my config-int.php file is blank - no error, no nothing.

I do not see whether this is resolved but the fix is to ensure you have the proper vb path is set correctly. You can place a link to your gallery here

Nope - this isn't resolved. The config-int.php page is COMPLETELY blank.

If I go to Photopost/index.php I get the really simplistic gallery view. But I want to integrate this with my vB styles...

I'd rather not post a link to my site because it's a members-only site and I've already had hackers take it down once.

I know that my server path is wrong, but I don't know what a correct server path looks like. My 2nd post in this thread explains my install structure - does that give you the info you need?

Under Admin => edit integration in admin of Photopost you input the proper server paths and urls and turn on the vb3 integration this should resolve your issue.

I know what I have to change but I don't know what to change it to.

My forum is installed in the root of my public_html folder (so that the path to my forum is literally just www._____.com/index.php). My PHotopost directory is in public_html (so the path to my gallery would be www._____.com/photopost/index.php).

So if my site were Yahoo.com, what would my server path be?

If by config-int.php is blank you mean that if you access:

www._____.com/photopost/config-int.php

or

www._____.com/Photopost/config-int.php

you get a blank page, that's normal (not sure which one is your path as one post has an upper case P as in Photopost and another has a lower case p as in photopost).

The page isn't supposed to show anything when accessed via the web for security reasons.

For example:

http://www.techimo.com/photo/config-int.php

is blank.

Regarding the server paths, your issue could be the case sensitivity so if you access:

www._____.com/Photopost/config-int.php

then your photopost server path is likely:

/home/_______/public_html/Photopost

If you access:

www._____.com/photopost/config-int.php

then your photopost server path is likely:

/home/_______/public_html/photopost

with whatever _____ is for you. Based on your posts I think you are on a Linux/Unix system so case is important. If you aren't on Linux/Unix then the above may not apply.

Hope this helps.

Your Photopost server path you can find in your config settings under PP_PATH

Your urls I think you know already and as far as your forum server path it should be your photopost path minus the /photopost since your forum is your webroot

mrsquid · February 15th, 2007, 09:16 PM

ugh... you can certainly tell I've had some loooong days lately! I don't know how I started in on the config-int.php file. It's the header-inc.php that I can't get to work so that I can do my vB integration. And again, this takes me back to my server path. (I think)

I'll have to read through the latest posts here and see if I can use what's there to make this work.

You never call any of those files directly. You only need to fill out the proper paths in the edit integration in admin like maybe so since I dont have your true paths here all anyone can do is make suggestions but this is what it should look like

server path to forum

/home/*****/public_html

server path to photopost

/home/*****/public_html/Photopost/

url to forums

http://www.domain.com

url to photopost

http://www.domain.com/Photopost

url to data directory

http://www.domain.com/Photopost/data/

then turn on the 3 vb3 integration switches

mrsquid · February 17th, 2007, 10:24 AM

Thanks for sticking with me Chuck - you totally rule. I got it to work. The only other thing I had to do was copy my site's skin images into the Phopost/Images folder - then it all worked great.

Thanks again!

You did not have to copy the skin images to photopost

You just need to in the vb styles admin for that style change those relative image paths to full urls and they load fine
