Problems with Photopost installation.. newbie :)

[Steelbelted]

Hello!

Im trying to install PhotoPost but have some problems with the installation.. In the "config-int.php" i got the following settings:

----
// We need to know the server paths to both your vB installation and your PhotoPost installation
$vbpath = "/var/www/vhosts/www.autoprat.no/forum";
$pppath = "/var/www/vhosts/www.autoprat.no/forum/galleri";

// We need the URL path to your PhotoPost and vb installation
$url_path = "/galleri";
$vb_urlpath = "/forum";

// The URL of your photo dir where your images are stored (with / at end)
$data_dir = "/galleri/data/";
----

Is this the correct setup of the folders, or would it append: /var/www/vhosts/www.autoprat.no/galleri/galleri/data ?


I got alot of errormessages, so i tried to perform a new installation (with a different prefix) and now i get the message:
Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in /galleri/forums/vb3.php on line 66 when trying to access the galleri..

Also i would like to know how i can completly remove Photopost (i dont have any sql admin tools on my webhost.. ). I really think you should include a "cleanup" script for the software. Would make it alot easier to perform uninstallations!

Regards.
Petter

Have been looking at the tables in the database.. Is it ok if i just delete the "galleri" folder, and run the following sql-commands:

DROP TABLE pp_admlog;
DROP TABLE pp_cache;
DROP TABLE pp_categories;
DROP TABLE pp_comments;
DROP TABLE pp_ecards;
DROP TABLE pp_exif;
DROP TABLE pp_extrafields;
DROP TABLE pp_favorites;
DROP TABLE pp_ipcache;
DROP TABLE pp_iponline;
DROP TABLE pp_laston;
DROP TABLE pp_notify;
DROP TABLE pp_photoextras;
DROP TABLE pp_photos;
DROP TABLE pp_photoviews;
DROP TABLE pp_searchids;
DROP TABLE pp_settings;
DROP TABLE pp_sort;
DROP TABLE pp_sortmemb;
DROP TABLE pp_usergroups;
DROP TABLE pp_users;
DROP TABLE pp_admingroups;
DROP TABLE pp_settings;
?

Will this have any impact on other parts of my discussionboard ?

That will get rid of photopost totally and no it will not effect your site at all unless you have anything in the galleri folder that you use on other parts of the site.

The only error I see on your install you are not doing one of two things.

1. Make sure on the config you put the actual vb database info on the user database portion of config

2. On step 4 enter the proper vbulletin table prefix for your vb tables where asked.

After deleting the tables, and reinstalling PhotoPost i finally got it up and running (although picture posting doesn work, but ive submitted a new thread regarding this issue . Kind of feel like an mysql guru now

Thanks for your replies!
