Boy did I screw this up!

[frh]

I have a brand new vBulletin installation. (First vB Advanced install, 2nd vB install and my 5th discussion forum.) I haven't even set-up topics yet, but knew I wanted vbAdvanced.

I don't know if vB Gallery would be appropriate, but I sure would like to be able to post before and after success photos of jobs in threads, that could be clicked on for high resolution.

Bandwidth probably wouldn't be an issue. I have 3,000 mb of storage space and 30,000 mb of data transfer, divided between a half-dozen existing websites. But, there's a 100 mb Windows Media file that gets clocked on enough to burn 25% of my total bandwidth a month. And a couple of smaller wmf videos are in the works.

My business is way too busy this time of year to spend time creating websites, but I need to get this one up asap. Saturday afternoon I installed vB and made sure it was working. Then I downloaded the latest version of vbAdvanced. I tried to install it Sunday morning, with my Wife harassing me about going out to breakfast, then lunch at 1:30 pm, like I promised...

Blame it on adult ADHD, HER constant interruptions or whatever, but I can't seem to make this vB Advanced installation work. It's probably 2 or 3 very simple, stupid mistakes I made, but I tried going through each installation step this morning can't find it. The website is http://www.soilsecrets.info/cmps_index.php I get the following: Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/soilsecr/public_html/cmps_index.php on line 21

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/soilsecr/public_html/cmps_index.php on line 32

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/soilsecr/public_html/cmps_index.php on line 32 I have no problem deleting my installation and paying to have it done right, or upgrading to vB Gallery if it work better for me? But I'm curious, what did I do wrong?

You just have to set the correct system path on line 21 of cmps_index.php. In your case probably /home/soilsecr/public_html/forum

And don't tell me about wives, I have the same problem :rolleyes:

That's what I thought, but info.php and forumpath.php both returned the following path: // ============================================

chdir('./home/soilsecr/public_html/forum');

// ============================================ I fear my mistake is somewhere else?

chdir('./forum');

If that doesn't work, try this:
chdir('/home/soilsecr/public_html/forum');

chdir('./forum'); Thanks, it's working now. That's what I would have done in the first place, if the Readme File had not asked for the full path and referred to info.php to find it.

Brian, I tried the full path with and without the "dot" and it didn't work either way.

Does the index page come up like it is supposed to for not having set-up forum topics, permissions or anything else yet?

Would Gallery be better for the occasional posting of before and after success photos of jobs in threads?

Thanks, Rick

I'm still have major problems getting my installation to work. I placed an order to have the program professionally installed by someone who knows what they are doing. Thanks

If that doesn't work, try this:
chdir('/home/soilsecr/public_html/forum');

I also had this problem and did not get the correct path from the info.php

I corrected this with Brian's path above edited to my site of course.
