Installed CMPS but not showing up

[moviemaker]

I followed every step of the installation files but I don't see anything on my homepage at Website (www.christianfilmcrew.com/forum)

Have I missed something in the installation process?

I did everything in the instructions said it was all installed and everything but nothing showing up on the index page...

[Brian]

Looks like you have your path set incorrectly.

I was tweaking stuff, take a look now...

I tried that link, so I set it back up to the way it was with the fresh install with the original cpms_index.php file...

my forums are in my domain.com/forum directory and cpms is set to:

Where is your cmps_index.php file at now?

[moviemaker]

okay it's in the main forum directory...

i.e. christianfilmcrew.com/forum

okay I'll stop trying to troubleshoot and leave it so we can figure this out...

BTW thanks for your quick support...

[Brian]

It's showing up fine for me...

[FightRice]

Hmm, will reboot my computer...

Does it show up with http://www.christianfilmcrew.com/forums ?

This link is to a phpbb forums

[moviemaker]

sorry http://www.christianfilmcrew.com/forum sorry that other one was pointing to the old forum I'm upgrading from

Okay I think I have the navbar issue sorted out, almost...

The news and polls still aren't displaying though

[Brian]

I'm assuming you figured out the problem since they're displaying now?

[HeadRat]

Brian, I have a similar, but different problem. I had to move my forum to a different server. In doing so, it kept all my vb templates, and I have vbcmps all installed, but now when you go to the homepage, it bypasses the cmps and just heads to the forum as the homepage.

What am I missing here?

Oh, and my forums are under index2.php my cmp should be index.php, but it skips it.

[Brian]

Sounds like you have some type of redirect set up.

[HeadRat]

Yeah, I have my home page redirected to hit my forums, but I have it pointed at /index.php which should be my cmps, right?

[HeadRat]

Ok, I figured out that I had the forums index copied into my /index.php. I put the correct one in, but now I get this error at the top of my page:

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home2/headrat/public_html/packchat/index.php on line 22

That is the Server[path] I got off my info.php. What am I doing wrong here?

[moviemaker]

Hi Brian, yeah I got it mostly sorted out. One little thing I'm trying to sort out that would make my life just perfect...

I installed the "home/forum" tweak and every time I hit "home" it takes me to the base of my domain...

My setup is as follows...

christianfilmcrew.com/index.html <-- root directory is where all my HTML website stuff is

christianfilmcrew.com/forum/index.php <-- is where my cmps php file is (my forum link on my main website points to this directory i.e. domain.com/forum)

christianfilmcrew.com/forum/board/index.php <-- this is where my main vBulletin forum resides

If I enter the forums through my website everything works to plan... But once I'm in the forum, if I hit the "Home" link on the navbar it takes me back to the christianfilmcrew.com root directory that invariably displays the index.html file... What I'd like it to do is just go back and display the christianfilmcrew.com/forum/index.php file instead so I can keep users looped in the forum...

What do I need to put into the code to get the "Home" nav menu to point to the christianfilmcrew.com/forum/index.php file instead... I tried to change it myself but the code in the " [ ] "s seemed to be pointed to just the base domain name...

If I could solve this it would really help out the functionality of the board... Part of the problem that I originally had was that I'm also running a html website on my domain... Got that all figured out and solved 98% of my issues, but this one nav link would be the icing on the cake...

I can't wait to invest in the vBadvanced Gallery... ;) That's next on my hitlist....

[Brian]

Just change the link in your navbar template to point to /forum/ instead.

[HeadRat]

This is what I'm getting on my homepage, I got all the other stuff figured out. As with the last post, I added the right chdir():

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home2/headrat/public_html/packchat/index.php on line 21

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home2/headrat/public_html/packchat/index.php
Line: 21

What am I missing or doing wrong?

[Brian]

Make sure you don't have any white space after the ending ?> in your index.php file. If that's not it, please post the contents of that file.

[HeadRat]

there was space there, but it didn't do it. Here is my index.php

[Brian]

That's not the path to your forums... Use the script in this post to find the correct path:

http://www.vbadvanced.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1343

[HeadRat]

ok, did that, still not working, getting the same page displayed.

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home2/headrat/public_html/packchat/index.php on line 21

[Brian]

What did you use for the path?

[HeadRat]

chdir('./home2/headrat/public_html/packchat');

[HeadRat]

I've tried, with the ".", without, and making sure there as no space at the bottom of it.

[Brian]

Would you like to just submit a support ticket so I can have a look?

[moviemaker]

Just change the link in your navbar template to point to /forum/ instead.

I'm sorry for being a lame brain, can you tell me how to find that step by step, last time I tried on my own I failed miserably :o

[HeadRat]

Would you like to just submit a support ticket so I can have a look?

No, I would love to, if you can tell me where on vbAdvanced I go to do that, I just searched the site and cant find it, you don't have a link like VB.

[HeadRat]

I just sent it to Contact Us and directed it toward you.

Thanks for your help Brian, the site is up and running. I don't know why removing the "." worked for you and not me, but it worked, and that is all I needed.
Thanks. :D
