Almost installed until the 'forum' question

amanda3182 · July 20th, 2011, 04:11 PM

I am installing Photopost with Wordpress and the last part was integrating with a forum (which I am not using). There is a /forum folder inside the /gallery (which is the name of the directory the photopost is in) so I pointed it there. I had no choice because I couldn't go by without NOT putting in a forum path.

What do you recommend?

You do not fill out or turn on any vb things as thats the last step of an install but on the step 4 is the forum settings that is where you correctly enter your wordpress info like table prefix and worsdpress url. for all purposes wordpress is a forum on install

thank you for your quick response... I will try that!

No problem

amanda3182 · July 20th, 2011, 06:39 PM

It is asking for the URL to the forum directory and I am doing the URL to the installation (without the wp-admin or whatever, just the actual URL).

I am getting also an error that a table already exists (likely because I have been doing this over and over. This is the only area I am getting stuck on.

This is the error I am getting :

Warning: include(/wp-config.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/amanda/public_html/university/photopost/forums/wp.php on line 18

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/wp-config.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/amanda/public_html/university/photopost/forums/wp.php on line 18

Okay strange, I went on to Step 5 and it appears to be installed but I can't login now to admin. I don't recall setting an admin username and password and it doesn't take the Wordpress admin login.

Stick with me here... you are almost rid of me, LOL! How do I login as an admin?

amanda3182 · July 20th, 2011, 06:58 PM

Yeah, I guess I set it up wrong, it doesn't recognize my username and password for Wordpress.

I guess I can pay you to install? It is a shame I am so close, but I am filling out something wrong.

In config-int.php the $vbpath line must be the full server path to wordpress

amanda3182 · July 20th, 2011, 08:33 PM

And what is the 'full server path'? mydomain dotcom ?

amanda3182 · July 20th, 2011, 08:48 PM

also, it looks like my config-int.php ends with .NEW, should I remove the .NEW?

Chuck S · July 20th, 2011, 09:09 PM

server path is like this

/home/amanda/public_html/university

Of course you would need to know where wordpress is located

You would remove the new of both your config files.

amanda3182 · July 20th, 2011, 09:12 PM

Okay, will do (keep your fingers crossed!)

Chuck S · July 20th, 2011, 09:14 PM

yeah I cant tell you your exact paths as I know nothing about your setup and site.

amanda3182 · July 20th, 2011, 09:19 PM

Darn, it was correct in config.int.php and not working. It doesn't recognize that I am logged in to Wordpress and doesn't recognize my login when I try.

How much for you to finish the install? I need to get this up and running already. I also love the sample you showed where the header and footer were wrapped around the gallery. Give me a quote and I'm happy to pay.

Chuck S · July 20th, 2011, 09:56 PM

You must not be entering correct information.

The install service is $59.00

amanda3182 · July 20th, 2011, 10:33 PM

I know, I'm sure I'm not, but I am late on this. I am not Amanda, I am her web designer and not a good programmer, LOL! You can contact me at amy@websbyamy.com. I do a lot of Wordpress sites for crafters and was hoping to learn to integrate with Wordpress myself as I see a huge potential.

I need more clear instructions specifically for Step 5 with Wordpress. In a perfect world, I'd have that, but $59 at this point will save me time (which for me is $$$). Look forward to hearing from you and I appreciate your speedy replies!

Chuck S · July 21st, 2011, 07:33 AM

There is no information about wordpress on step 5. step 4 asks all the forum/wordpress info which needs to be answered correctly.

There is no need for me to email me. If your purchasing an install service customer service will process your order and send an insaller the info you send them to get the service complete.

amanda3182 · July 22nd, 2011, 02:29 PM

Awesome job on the integration... I would have liked to know how to do it myself, but you did a fabulous job. Thanks!

Chuck S · July 22nd, 2011, 03:47 PM

Your welcome glad to help. Yeah I usually try and put a little extra finishing touches when I do customers installs help match site layout etc.

What info would I put if the WP is on the root and not in a directory?
